Ellen DeGeneres Flees from Trump: New Life in the British Idyll

Ellen DeGeneres (67) and her wife Portia de Rossi (52) have permanently relocated their home base to the United Kingdom. After the abrupt end of their once highly successful US talk show, the couple sought a new home. The trigger for their decision not to return to the United States? US President Donald Trump!

The Rural Idyll

The couple moved into a house in the idyllic Cotswolds last year and are enjoying a quiet life there. Imagine: among chickens, horses, and other animal companions. Who wouldn't be tempted by that? Yet despite this dream scenario, the return to the USA was still on the table – until a certain day.

The Moment of Truth

Ellen recently confirmed on a talk show in Cheltenham, England, that Trump's re-election as President of the USA was the decisive point. She and Portia arrived in England the day before the election. When they woke up, they received countless messages from friends, filled with crying emojis. "He did it," Ellen thought. And the couple's reaction was unmistakable: "We're staying here!"

Why England Is Simply Better

The decision to stay permanently in the UK was also made easy by the fact that their new home and the rural life there exceeded all expectations. Ellen was positively raving: "Everything is just better here – the way animals are treated, the people are polite. I just love it here." Doesn't that sound like the ultimate feel-good place?

Concerns About the USA and a Wish

However, Ellen's view of developments in the USA is concerning. She spoke about attempts by the Baptist Church in America to annul the marriages of same-sex couples. Should this actually happen, the couple is considering saying "I do" again in England.

In the end, Ellen expressed a deep wish that should make us all think: She would like to live in a world where people can be who they truly are. "I wish we lived in a society where everyone could accept other people and their differences." A wish that is more important than ever in these times.
