California dreamin’!
Life in the British countryside just isn’t for Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi. One year after moving to England, the couple has grown bored of the U.K. and are heading back to the United States, National Enquirer can reveal.
Sources say the former daytime talk show host, 67, and Arrested Development actress, 52, have been climbing the walls without any type of social life to keep them entertained.
The pair made the decision to put down permanent roots in the rural village following President Donald Trump’s re-election in 2024, relocating to a $20 million farmhouse that measures approximately 16,000-square-feet and sits on 43 sprawling acres. They’ve since listed the property for sale and moved into a larger, more modern estate nearby.

Moving to Cotswolds seemed like a great idea at the time, says the source. “It got them away from Trump’s America and provided Ellen a refuge to carefully plot her comeback without the noise and pressure that she had back in Los Angeles.”
However, “the day-to-day reality of life in the rainy countryside has gotten increasingly boring and frustrating for both of them,” the source explains, noting that de Rossi, especially, has not adapted well to the change in scenery.
“Portia’s restless,” says the source. “The weather doesn’t agree with her and she’s got very little to do except take long walks in the freezing cold or sit around the house while Ellen’s locked in Zoom calls or brainstorming strategy for her eventual comeback attempt.”
It doesn’t help that so few of their famous friends have come over to see them, adds the source. “Both of them are in agreement that it’s time to head back.”
