In a world filled with dramatic exits and unexpected life changes, Ellen DeGeneres has reportedly made her own grand departure, leaving the United States for the UK, though there is no definitive confirmation of her claiming she’ll never return. Now, most folks might assume this is yet another case of “blame it on Trump,” but there’s speculation around this story. With Ellen and her wife, Portia, reportedly spending time in the Cotswolds—a region known for its picturesque landscapes and affluent residents—there’s little surprise she adores it.
It seems Ellen’s reported move is linked to her desire for a change of lifestyle after ending her long-running talk show, rather than specific political developments. Amid concerns about potential changes to gay marriage laws back home, some have speculated about her reasons for contemplating more time in the UK, though this remains unconfirmed. Life in the Cotswolds promises a poetic simplicity, a dreamscape of charming villages and picturesque landscapes, far removed from the bustling chaos of California.
But beneath Ellen’s picturesque Instagram posts of verdant pastures and cozy cottages lies a curious question: why, Ellen, choose this homogeneous European setting? This question arises given her strong advocacy for diversity and inclusion stateside.
Apparently, life in celebrity paradise involves rolling around in Birkenstocks, taking selfies with rainbows, and not needing a man, except maybe when the tractor gets stuck. Good thing England offers endless opportunities for rural escapades involving boats, barns, and British accents. However, Ellen’s newly adopted pastoral life occasionally encounters modern hitches; no amount of celebrity-powered self-sufficiency can transform existential misadventures into quaint Instagram moments, or so it seems.
For those wondering about Ellen’s commitment to her newfound lifestyle, her actions speak volumes. The real estate whiz has indeed sold her Pacific Palisades mansion, indicating a shift towards her current lifestyle choice. So, while the garden parties and tea sessions unfold in the picturesque Cotswolds, the drama-filled streets of Hollywood will have to fare without Ellen DeGeneres. Some are viewing her exit as a shift in personal priorities rather than a political statement. Who knew comedic exodus could be so thrillingly personal and profitable?
