ELLEN DEGENERES ABANDONS AMERICA FOREVER—SELLS $40M MONTECITO MANSION AND ESCAPES TO ENGLAND

In a stunning and irreversible move, former talk show queen Ellen DeGeneres has left the United States for good, selling off her $40 million Montecito estate and relocating to a secluded English countryside manor.

The once-revered television icon, whose career took a hit following a workplace scandal, has now declared that she will “never return to America.”

HOLLYWOOD EXILE: ELLEN WALKS AWAY FOR GOOD

For months, rumors swirled about Ellen’s discontent with the state of America—both politically and socially.

Now, sources confirm she and wife Portia de Rossi have settled into a historic 18th-century manor deep in the Cotswolds, an elite region known for rolling green hills, centuries-old cottages, and an ultra-private lifestyle favored by royalty and A-list celebrities.

Her abrupt departure from the Montecito elite—a neighborhood she shared with Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle—sends a clear message:

Ellen is done with Hollywood, the media, and the country she once called home.

“I NO LONGER FEEL AT HOME IN AMERICA”

Ellen’s self-imposed exile isn’t just about escaping the paparazzi—it’s a firm rejection of the United States itself. In a bombshell statement, the former daytime TV queen made her feelings brutally clear:

“America no longer feels like home to me. The environment is too toxic—socially, politically, and personally. I need a place where I can breathe, where I can think, where I can exist without the constant noise.”

This shock confession has divided fans.

While some admire her bravery, others accuse Ellen of running from the consequences of her own actions after her once-beloved TV show ended in disgrace.

FROM LUXURY MANSION TO BRITISH COUNTRYSIDE—ELLEN’S NEW LIFE

Ellen’s new English manor is a far cry from the ultra-modern, ocean-view estate she just ditched in Montecito.

Nestled among rolling green hills and lush gardens, the historic home is rumored to feature:

Traditional stone architecture
Expansive private gardens
A sprawling countryside estate
Complete seclusion from Hollywood and U.S. media

While Montecito was a haven for America’s most powerful celebrities, Ellen’s move signals a total rejection of fame, fortune, and the high-profile lifestyle she once thrived in.

“THIS IS NOT RETIREMENT—IT’S REINVENTION”

Despite escaping the U.S., Ellen isn’t fading into obscurity. Insiders claim she’s plotting a career comeback—but on her own terms.

A source close to the star revealed:

“Ellen’s looking at new projects—think documentaries, interview specials, maybe even an intimate, unfiltered series about her life post-Hollywood.”

This suggests that while she may be done with America, she’s not done with the world.

PORTIA STANDS BY HER SIDE—THE COUPLE’S NEXT CHAPTER

Through it all, Ellen’s wife of 15 years, Portia de Rossi, remains her unwavering supporter.

The couple is reportedly thriving in England, embracing a slower, quieter life away from the cameras.

Together, they plan to focus on:

🌍 Philanthropy & conservation efforts
🐾 Animal rescue & wildlife activism
🎨 Art, travel, and personal passions

For Ellen, this move isn’t just an escape—it’s a rebirth.

ELLEN’S FINAL BREAKUP WITH AMERICA—WILL SHE EVER RETURN?

Love her or hate her, one thing is clear: Ellen DeGeneres has left the building—and she’s never coming back.
