After residing for approximately a year in the English countryside, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are said to be making plans to return permanently to the United States. Sources indicate the decision stems primarily from a desire to escape the harsh British winters and a longing for their social circle and the warmer climate of California.
The couple initially relocated overseas following the most recent presidential election, with reports suggesting the move was intended to be a lengthy stay. However, plans appear to have shifted. An insider close to the pair noted that while the initial intention was to remain abroad for the political term, the realities of life away from home have prompted a reconsideration.
Beyond the weather, another significant factor is de Rossi’s reported wish to resume her acting career. The logistical challenges of pursuing professional opportunities from abroad are believed to be a key element in the decision to move back.
During their time in the U.K., the couple settled into a rural property in the Cotswolds, chosen specifically for its equestrian facilities to accommodate de Rossi’s horses. Despite finding the setting picturesque, the pull of home has proven stronger. In recent months, they have taken steps to sell several of their high-value properties in California, signaling a broader financial and personal reorganization aligned with this anticipated move.
While no official statement has been released by DeGeneres or de Rossi, sources suggest the return could be imminent, with the holidays serving as a potential timeframe for their permanent relocation back to California.
