According to a source, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi moved to the U.K. because Donald Trump won the 2024 election.
The major life change most likely wasn't a hard decision after DeGeneres declared she was quitting show business. "This is the last time you're going to see me. After my Netflix special, I'm done," she revealed in her standup routine for the streaming service.
"I got kicked out of show business for being mean," DeGeneres said. "I used to say, ‘I don’t care what people say about me.’ Now I realize I said that during the height of my popularity. Next time, I’ll be kicked out for being old. Old, gay and mean, the triple crown. I can be demanding and impatient and tough. I am many things, but I am not mean."
