Ellen DeGeneres Plans U.K. Exit Earlier Than Promised Amid Election

Sources confirm that Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are planning an earlier return from Great Britain, contrary to their initial intention to remain abroad during Donald Trump’s presidency.

According to the information provided, friends were told they would be returning home soon for the holiday period in California, deviating significantly from previous plans established just over a year ago. One unnamed insider stated that DeGeneres had previously insisted on staying in Britain throughout Trump’s potential term but has since reconsidered this decision.

“She was adamant about remaining abroad during Trump’s presidency, however reports indicate she is now planning an earlier return,” the source mentioned. “Friends have been informed they will be coming back for the holidays and likely staying longer.”

Further details suggest a desire to reconnect with family in California due to both personal comfort concerns regarding winter weather conditions over there alongside professional motivations driving this change.

As previously reported, DeGeneres stated their arrival coincided shortly before the pivotal 2024 U.S. election when they decided to extend their stay abroad following news of Trump’s victory and amidst growing societal concerns about LGBTQ rights protections in America.

Despite initial plans for a limited-term residency in Britain as homebuyers there just one year ago, DeGeneres is now said to be considering acting upon her earlier decision before the conclusion of this calendar year.
