After more than a year residing in the English countryside, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are said to be preparing for a permanent return to the United States. Sources indicate the decision is driven by a combination of personal and professional factors.
The couple, who relocated to a rural area of England following the last presidential election, are reportedly eager to escape the harsh British winters and reunite with their social circle in California. A desire for warmer climates and closer proximity to friends is cited as a primary motivation for the move.
Additionally, insiders suggest de Rossi is keen to resume her acting career, an endeavor more easily pursued from their longtime home base. The pair had initially planned only a seasonal stay abroad but ultimately extended their time overseas significantly.
Prior to their U.K. chapter, the couple owned multiple properties in California. In recent months, they have listed at least two of their high-value U.S. homes for sale, signaling a possible consolidation of assets ahead of their return.
Their English residence, described in past interviews as a picturesque country home with extensive equestrian facilities to accommodate de Rossi’s horses, fulfilled a specific need during their stay. However, the pull of home—and its sunshine—appears to have won out.
