Ellen DeGeneres has made a surprising choice to leave the U.S. for good. She has sold her estate in Montecito and is moving to the English countryside. After her talk show ended in 2022 and some controversies about workplace behavior, Ellen wanted a quieter and more meaningful life away from Hollywood.
Her new home is an 18th-century manor in the Cotswolds, which provides a calm and nature-filled escape. Ellen mentioned that the negative atmosphere in America was a big reason for her move, as she wants a place where she can relax and find herself again. Even though she is stepping back from the American celebrity scene, she still plans to work on new projects, possibly with a more serious focus.
Ellen and her wife, Portia de Rossi, are excited about this new phase in their lives, where they can enjoy traveling, art, and giving back to the community. While some fans are sad to see her go, Ellen’s decision shows her desire for peace and a fresh start, marking an important change in both her personal and professional journey.
