Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, who moved to the U.K. a year ago after Donald Trump was re-elected, are reportedly planning to spend more time back in California. The couple originally settled in the Cotswolds, saying life felt \u201cbetter\u201d in the U.K. and that they wanted to avoid the U.S. political climate.<\/p>\n
However, sources say they now miss their friends, dislike the cold British winters, and Portia wants to return to acting. They\u2019ve told friends they\u2019ll come back to California for the holidays and possibly longer.<\/p>\n
Ellen and Portia sold their 43-acre Oxfordshire estate and later moved to a hilltop home with space for horses, as Portia is an avid rider. Despite enjoying the countryside lifestyle, they are now preparing for a temporary return to the U.S.<\/p>\n
The couple no longer owns property in America after selling off their real estate portfolio, so it\u2019s unclear where they\u2019ll stay. Their return comes after Ellen\u2019s show ended in 2022 following allegations of a toxic work environment\u2014claims she later described as \u201cmisogynistic\u201d and \u201ccoordinated.\u201d She also joked about it in her 2024 Netflix special.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
