Ellen DeGeneres has attempted to correct some of the misinformation surrounding her recent relocation from Montecito to the UK, but she has not yet responded to rumors that she and her spouse, Portia de Rossi, left the US because they were deeply disappointed by Donald Trump’s election to a second term in office.
As Storm Bert brought days of intense rain and turmoil to many parts of the United Kingdom, DeGeneres denied on Sunday in an Instagram post that her new 43-acre property in the Cotswolds region flooded, according to The Independent. Presumably on or close to their new property, the former daytime talk show host posted a selfie with de Rossi while they stood in the sun in a picturesque English countryside scene.
In a message, DeGeneres honored their 20-year partnership, their shared love, and the destinations they will see and discover together over the next two decades. The comic said that they are excited for our first snowy Christmas, which will likely take place in their new farmhouse in the Cotswolds.
DeGeneres continued, saying, “Just so you know, our farmhouse in the UK did not flood.”
The Daily Mail revealed over the weekend that Storm Bert had caused flooding at DeGeneres and de Rossi’s new house, which is roughly two hours’ drive southwest of London. The Daily Mail reported that a tributary of the River Thames broke its banks close to DeGeneres and de Rossi’s new property during the storm.
“With more than a hint of schadenfreude,” the pro-Trump Daily Mail observed, “Ellen DeGeneres’ new life in the charming English countryside has gone drastically wrong after her dream home was swamped by astonishing flooding just days after she moved in.”
However, the Mail also revealed that she and her spouse have been left at the mercy of catastrophic floods that have flooded their new multi-million pound mansion, instead of taking pleasure in a pastoral retreat following their protest of Trump’s presidential victory.
Every hour, the flood waters rise. Regarding the storm’s aftermath, a local told the Daily Mail, “This is the worst I have seen it in years.” Additionally, the Daily Mail released images that allegedly showed DeGeneres’ property submerged in a swamp of floodwaters.
However, DeGeneres stated that she and de Rossi are excited to spend a snowy Christmas in their new farmhouse, dismissing the Daily Mail’s report.
DeGeneres did not, however, provide a post-script stating, for instance, that she and de Rossi did not leave America because of Trump’s victory.
Last month, a number of media outlets, including The Wrap and TMZ, reported that DeGeneres and de Rossi had moved into a new house in the Cotswolds, an area known for its scenic villages and undulating hills.
The couple purchased their Cotswolds home before the election, according to TMZ, but they were disappointed with living in America under a Republican administration when Trump defeated Kamala Harris on November 5. According to a source who spoke to TMZ, DeGeneres, who was an outspoken advocate for Vice President Harris, and her actress wife decided to leave.
According to The Wrap, the couple’s decision was prompted by Trump’s triumph, and they have no intention of ever going back to the US.
The Wrap and other publications also revealed that DeGeneres was preparing to sell off some of the properties in her vast Southern California real estate holdings, just two weeks after Trump’s changeover. She purchased a vast property in Montecito in 2019, which was her preferred house, according to The Wrap. The estate is being offered off market, but it may soon be listed more widely, according to The Wrap.
However, according to The Wrap, DeGeneres needs a new beginning in both her personal and professional life. In her most recent standup act, the comic has been candid about being fired from show business after being accused in 2022 of overseeing hazardous workplace conduct at her syndicated Ellen show.
