Ellen DeGeneres: I moved to the UK because of Trump
COTSWOLDS, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 20 – Ellen DeGeneres cited political concerns and threats to LGBTQ+ rights after Donald Trump's re-election, leading her to permanently settle in England's Cotswolds region.
- Ellen DeGeneres revealed she relocated to the UK with her wife Portia de Rossi in direct response to Donald Trump's presidency, calling her new life in the Cotswolds 'better' than what she left behind in the United States.
- DeGeneres said she wished 'we lived in a society where everybody could accept other people and their differences' and that she and de Rossi were considering getting married again in the UK if the Baptist Church in America succeeded in reversing gay marriage.
- DeGeneres reflected that ending her talk show was 'certainly an unpleasant way to end' and expressed interest in doing another show, but was unsure what form it would take due to changing media consumption habits.
