In yet another chapter of the celebrity exodus saga, two more stars have reportedly decided that living in a Trump America is just too much to handle. According to recent reports, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have packed their bags and made the trek to the Cotswolds, vowing never to return to the United States after Donald Trump’s decisive victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. It seems the shock of the election results was enough to send them running for the hills—specifically, the rolling hills of England.
Prior to Election Day, the couple had already secured a charming home across the pond, but now they’ve also put their California beachfront property in Montecito on the market. One might wonder if they’ll take their liberal lamentations with them or leave those behind in America as a parting gift. Sources claim that the duo was left “very disillusioned” by the election, prompting an urgent desire to “get the hell out” faster than their fans can say, “Not my president!”

Confirming the trend that celebrities love to threaten relocation but often do little more than tweet about it, DeGeneres and de Rossi have officially joined the ranks of those who claimed they would make good on their promises. They are not just contemplating their escape; they are actively spiriting themselves away from the land of the free and the home of the brave—perhaps to a place where the political correctness is a tad softer and the winter sweaters are a tad cozier.
Entertainment outlets are buzzing with the news, detailing how these two high-profile celebrities aren’t just packing their belongings but are apparently determined to cut ties with the U.S. for good. They are telling their friends that Trump’s election was the primary catalyst for this drastic geographical shift. It appears the luminous glow of a long-promised “progressive paradise” over in the U.K. beckoned them, brightened by the thought of no longer having to face the harsh realities of conservative governance.
This isn’t exactly the first time celebrities have acted like runaway kids post-election. The notable threat list from the last election cycle was lengthy, and lead footers like Eva Longoria joined these two in making good on their claims. The real question, though, is how many movie night marathons of “The Notebook” it will take for them to realize that the grass isn’t always greener in a foreign land—especially when they trade their bright California sunshine for a drizzle in the English countryside. One can only hope their British neighbors are granting them the gracious welcome they seem to believe they deserve.
