Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi Are Ready for Big U.S. Return After Moving to U.K. – Here’s Why

by

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are said to be moving back to the US after a year of living in the UK countryside.

According to RadarOnline.com, the couple, who relocated to the Cotswolds last year, are becoming dissatisfied with country life and are keen to get back into the entertainment industry.

Ellen DeGeneres and her wife purchased a sprawling, environmentally friendly property with lakes and stables in the Cotswolds hills. This move came after DeGeneres, 57, previously stated she planned to live in the U.K. during Donald Trump’s presidency, and also followed the conclusion of her talk show, which had faced accusations of creating a negative work environment.

Friends are now saying that being far from everything and the different time zone from Hollywood have made them feel bored and frustrated.

According to a source, Ellen hoped moving away from Hollywood would give her a fresh start, but after a year, she’s realized that simply having space isn’t enough to help her move forward. The quiet life is frustrating her, and both she and Portia feel stuck and as if their careers are stalled.

Although Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi appreciate the peace of country life, those close to them say they’re starting to feel restless. A source revealed that they miss the excitement and social life they had in Los Angeles and are eager to reconnect with it. DeGeneres herself admitted to feeling bored in September, joking on stage about wanting something to do, even though she enjoys her chickens. Friends believe this comment was a genuine expression of her feelings.

The couple is also having trouble selling their original UK farmhouse, valued at $20 million. They’re now thought to be considering using their more recent property as a vacation home while they settle back into life in California.

According to sources, the eight-hour time difference is causing problems for Ellen DeGeneres when trying to work and brainstorm effectively. One source explained that it’s challenging to finalize agreements or have productive creative discussions from so far away, as video calls have limitations and Los Angeles relies heavily on in-person meetings.

Sources say Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are making changes in their lives because they’re both eager to pursue new opportunities. A friend told RadarOnline.com that Ellen is determined to return to the entertainment industry – whether through acting in a sitcom, performing comedy specials, or working as a producer. Portia, meanwhile, wants to reconnect with the wider world, and both women are looking for a life that extends beyond their quiet, rural existence.
