Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi may be preparing to move back to the United States, despite previously relocating to the UK following Donald Trump’s election victory. Recent reports suggest that a planned series of UK television appearances for DeGeneres were abruptly cancelled, fueling speculation that the couple’s return to the US has been in the works for some time.
Initial Move to the UK
DeGeneres and de Rossi initially moved to the UK in 2024, citing political reasons. The couple reportedly sold their California properties at the time, seeking a new home in the UK following Trump’s election. They purchased multiple residences, suggesting an intent to settle there long-term. This move came after years of living in the United States, where they first met at a Rock the Vote concert in 2001.
Relationship Timeline
DeGeneres and de Rossi began dating in 2004 after reconnecting at an awards show. Both were in other relationships at the time, but they ended those partnerships shortly before becoming a couple. The two became engaged and married in August 2008, solidifying their relationship in the public eye.
Career Revival and Sudden Cancellation
DeGeneres was reportedly in discussions to host a series of TV shows in the UK this fall. However, these plans were cancelled, leading some insiders to believe that the move was always part of a larger strategy. The timing suggests that DeGeneres and de Rossi may have been planning their return to the US for months, rather than making an impulsive decision.
Public Silence
Neither DeGeneres nor de Rossi has publicly commented on the alleged move. However, sources close to the couple are leaking details to the press, suggesting that the story is gaining traction behind the scenes.
The cancellation of DeGeneres’ UK television appearances raises questions about her career prospects and potential projects back in the United States. The couple’s decision to leave the UK may indicate a shift in their priorities or a desire to capitalize on opportunities in the US entertainment industry.
