Ellen DeGeneres, the beloved comedian and former talk show host, has announced that her recent Netflix stand-up special will mark the end of her comedy career. Following what she described as being “kicked out of show business,” DeGeneres and her wife, actress Portia de Rossi, have reportedly decided to leave the United States for a fresh start across the Atlantic.

According to various reports, the couple has listed their luxurious home in Montecito, California, and relocated to the picturesque Cotswolds region in England. This dramatic move has been driven largely by the election of Donald Trump, with insiders suggesting that the election results profoundly disillusioned the pair.

It has been reported that they had previously acquired their new property in the Cotswolds prior to the election but felt compelled to leave the U.S. following Trump's decisive win. An anonymous source told TMZ that they felt the only option was to “get the hell out” once the reality of the election set in.

DeGeneres’s reaction to the political shift was evident on social media. After the summer, she expressed her hopes for a better future under the leadership of Vice President Kamala Harris, stating, “There’s nothing more powerful than a woman whose time has come!!” This sentiment was echoed by a video she shared featuring de Rossi proudly wearing a “Kamala” t-shirt just days before the election.

The Cotswolds, already a favored retreat for celebrities such as David and Victoria Beckham, has become a haven for the wealthy and elite seeking tranquility away from London’s bustling life. DeGeneres and de Rossi are joined by an array of renowned figures in this serene landscape, indicating their desire for privacy and peace during this transitional time in their lives.

As the world continues to respond to the shifting political climate, many are left wondering how this seismic change will impact the entertainment industry, and if more celebrities will feel compelled to follow DeGeneres and de Rossi's lead in seeking refuge abroad. Only time will tell if their new life in England is the refreshing escape they hoped for or if they will ultimately find their way back to American soil.
