Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have made a surprising move, leaving their luxurious Montecito mansion in California for the peaceful English countryside, sparking curiosity about their reasons.
The couple, who have been together for nearly two decades, previously lived in Montecito, a celebrity hotspot with stars like Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry.
Their recent visit to Jeremy Clarkson’s pub in the Cotswolds has fueled rumors about their dramatic lifestyle change.
Known for its idyllic scenery and celebrity residents like David Beckham and Kate Moss, the Cotswolds offers the couple the privacy and tranquility they’ve been seeking, away from Hollywood’s spotlight.
The move follows Ellen’s decision to end her long-running talk show in 2022 and her declaration that she’s retiring after her Netflix stand-up special.
While some fans speculate that the political climate influenced their decision, sources confirm that the couple’s plans were in place long before the election results.
Ellen’s departure from the entertainment industry also came after allegations of a toxic workplace, which had a lasting impact on her reputation.
The couple’s retreat to the Cotswolds marks a fresh start as they embrace a quieter, more peaceful life, far from the pressures of fame and public scrutiny.
