Ellen DeGeneres: From Laughs to Lawn Chairs in the U.K.!

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi wave goodbye to the U.S.! Find out their surprising move to Great Britain, flipping properties like pancakes!

Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi have made quite the splash by deciding to leave the sunny shores of Santa Barbara County and set sail for the rainier pastures of the U.K. It's no surprise, really. After years of living in the limelight and the whirlwind that was the Trump era, the couple wanted a change of scenery - and what better place than Great Britain where tea flows freely and the castles make for beautiful backdrops? But hold your crumpets! This isn’t just a vacation spot; they’ve owned and flipped at least 21 properties in the U.K. Talk about being real estate moguls in disguise!

Reports indicate that Ellen and Portia are seriously bidding adieu to their Montecito mansion. You might say they’re determined to live out their new chapter in a country where the tabloids have a different flavor and the pub grub might just match their tastes better than avocado toast. It seems the election of Donald Trump triggered a literal and metaphorical move of climates for Ellen. Can anyone blame her? It’s like trying to find tranquility in a blender full of drama! After all, who wants to scroll through endless social media comments that make you feel like you’re watching a never-ending episode of “Survivor”?

Despite the flurry of comments and the expectations that came with it, Ellen is going where the grass is greener. In their search for peace, she and Portia have embraced the U.K. lifestyle. They’re not just relocating; they’re likely trading in Hollywood premieres for afternoon tea and the occasional rainy day stroll. Perhaps they’ll don bright yellow slickers and unleash their inner Mary Poppins as they navigate the charming streets. Ellen definitely seems to have traded in her talk show for a new adventure, where they can live a more low-key life among the picturesque landscapes of England, away from the bright lights of L.A.

It appears Ellen isn’t the only celebrity eyeing greener pastures (literally and figuratively). Other stars have also made headlines for their moves away from the high-pressure celebrity life, opting for the serenity of quieter locales. As for Ellen and Portia, they share a love for real estate that’s greater than our collective love for avocado toast on a Sunday brunch; owning and flipping properties brings in that extra bit of fun and excitement to their lives. While some might see moving as merely about geography, for Ellen, it’s about rediscovering peace, happiness, and maybe even a British friend or two that’ll join her for tea!
