Ellen DeGeneres recently revealed her move from the United States to the English countryside was because of President Donald Trump winning the election.

The former talk show host moved with wife Portia de Rossi, per the BBC and the Guardian.

“We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘(Trump) got in,’” DeGeneres said Sunday. “And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here.’”

DeGeneres and de Rossi bought a house in Cotswolds, England, in 2024.

“It’s clean. Everything here is just better – the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here,” DeGeneres said.

DeGeneres isn’t the only person to make the move.

In May, Rosie O’Donnell left the United States, saying she may return when “it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America.”

“It’s absolutely beautiful,” the BBC reported DeGeneres said. “We’re just not used to seeing this kind of beauty. The villages and the towns and the architecture – everything you see is charming and it’s just a simpler way of life.”
