Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have reportedly left the US after Donald Trump’s second presidential win.
Sources close to the couple told TMZ that they decided to “get the hell out” of the country immediately following the President-elect’s victory over Kamala Harris.
The pair was feeling “very disillusioned” with the news, per the outlet, and they have since settled into a new home in the Cotswolds in South West England — nearly two hours from London.
According to TMZ, they purchased the property before the 2024 election.
In light of the move, the couple — who tied the knot in 2008 — are reportedly planning to list their home in Montecito, Calif.
TMZ’s report comes after Trump supporters flooded DeGeneres’ social media comments after the former president was re-elected.
“Didn’t Ellen say she’d leave the country if trump is elected?? 😭🇺🇸,” one user commented on her Nov. 7 Instagram post.
“Aren’t you supposed to be leaving the country by now,” another wondered.
However, the “Finding Dory” star was pretty vocal about her support of Harris — even reportedly donating $3,300 to the vice president’s campaign.
In August, DeGeneres publicly endorsed Harris on Instagram.
“There’s nothing more powerful than a woman whose time has come!! I can’t wait for @KamalaHarris to be our next president,” the former talk show host wrote in the caption.
DeGeneres’ most recent election-related post was shared on Nov. 1 as she urged her followers to hit the polls by reposting The Seneca Project’s video highlighting various women’s movements in the US.
“Let’s vote like our lives depend on it. Because they do!” she captioned the post.
That is one thing that is so great about the USA, You have the right to do what you want to do, regardless of what others think, as long as y9o8 don; break the law.. I think I am glad she made the decision she made, as she was leaning too far away from what a majority of Americans wanted. This is why the USA makes chocolate and vanilla ice cream, it is about what flavor is best for each of us.

Top Star? She’s the butt if her own joke!
Won’t miss them but I’ll bet if they have to pay income tax in Great Britain then they won’t like it much.
Hopefully they’ll pay in both countries.
