Fans were shocked to hear that Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi have relocated to the UK.
It was originally reported that the comedian moved to the UK for her ‘retirement’ after she was ‘kicked out of showbiz’.
However, there was another rumor that the 66-year-old wanted to escape American politics aka, president-elect, Donald Trump.
Inside sourced have since shared that the couple had already planned to move to the Cotswolds before the results of the election were shared.
A source shared with DailyMail: “Make no mistake about it. This is Ellen and Portia’s retirement.
“Neither one of them have any projects lined up.”
The source added: “Ellen really felt she had made her mark on the industry, but that was diminished when she was cancelled over her alleged treatment of her staff,’. “Then to have celebrities call her out one by one was so hurtful,”
The comedian, in an interview following one of her shows, said: “This is the last time you’re going to see me. After my Netflix special, I’m done.”
