SHOCK EXIT: Ellen DeGeneres Flees to the UK, Lists Montecito Estate – ‘Never Coming Back to America’

Ellen DeGeneres has officially cut ties with the United States, selling off her lavish Montecito estate and vowing never to return.

The former talk show icon, who was ousted from Hollywood following a workplace scandal, has now settled into a quiet life in rural England with wife Portia de Rossi.

Sources close to DeGeneres reveal that the couple’s decision to move was heavily influenced by political turmoil, particularly the election of Donald Trump.

While she has previously hinted at her disillusionment with the U.S., her latest move makes it clear—she’s done for good.

The couple has already relocated to the picturesque Cotswolds, a tranquil and upscale region in south-central England.

Meanwhile, their Montecito mansion is set to hit the market, with real estate insiders suggesting it will be listed privately or sold discreetly through a high-end agency.

A NEW LIFE FAR FROM THE SPOTLIGHT

The move isn’t just about politics—it’s also a fresh start for DeGeneres, who admitted she was essentially “kicked out of show business” after damning reports of a toxic workplace culture emerged in 2022.

In her latest Netflix stand-up special, For Your Approval, DeGeneres bluntly addressed her fall from grace:

“The ‘be kind’ girl wasn’t kind. That was the headline.”

She even joked that had she ended her talk show with “Go f— yourselves”, public perception might have been kinder.

Now, far from Hollywood, DeGeneres has embraced a slower pace of life. She has taken up gardening, raising chickens, and steering clear of the entertainment industry.

NO PLANS TO RETURN TO THE U.S.

While it remains unclear what will happen to her remaining California properties, sources say DeGeneres and de Rossi have no intentions of moving back.

“They’ve completely fallen in love with England,” one insider revealed. “They want peace, privacy, and a life away from the toxic industry they left behind.”

With her Montecito mansion soon to be off her hands, Ellen DeGeneres’ American chapter is officially closed—and she doesn’t seem to have a single regret.
