Ellen DeGeneres has moved to the UK with her wife, Portia de Rossi.

Fans were shocked when reports arose the TV host had moved over to this side of the pond, with the ‘real reason’ revealed.

It was said the 66-year-old had left the US for her ‘retirement’ after having said she was ‘kicked out of showbiz’ during her stand-up comedy tour ahead of a Netflix special.

But many also claimed DeGeneres has made the move over 5,000 miles away from California to the Cotswolds because of the big recent change in the states.

Yes, I’m talking about the election results with Donald Trump currently holding place as president-elect.

However, according to insiders, the couple had already planned to leave the US behind before he won the election earlier this month.

A source reportedly told DailyMail.com: “Make no mistake about it. This is Ellen and Portia’s retirement.

“Neither one of them have any projects lined up.”

TMZ also said they had already purchased their place in the UK before the election took place. But they very much wanted to ‘get the hell out’ of America after Trump’s win.

With DeGeneres well-known for her talk show which came to an end in 2022, de Rossi is known for her work on the screen too as an actor. She played Lindsay Bluth Fünke in Arrested Development as well as appearing in the likes of Ally McBeal, Scandal and Better Off Ted.

The insider also reportedly said the star has been left with much less work following allegations of her fostering a toxic workplace on her long-running talk show.

“Ellen really felt she had made her mark on the industry, but that was diminished when she was cancelled over her alleged treatment of her staff,' the source added. "Then to have celebrities call her out one by one was so hurtful,” they added.

DeGeneres said earlier this year she was quitting Hollywood and that we ‘won’t see her again’.

In a Q&A following one of her shows she was asked whether she would be returning to making films after her stand up tour.

She said: “Um, no. This is the last time you’re going to see me. After my Netflix special, I’m done.”

Her final special, Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval, premiered on Netflix on 24 September.
