Comedian and television host Ellen DeGeneres, best known for her long-running US talk show, has relocated to the Cotswolds with her wife, actress Portia de Rossi, seeking a quieter life away from the United States. The couple purchased a multimillion-pound farmhouse in the picturesque south-west of England following Donald Trump's re-election in 2024, citing political concerns and a desire for a more peaceful lifestyle.
Since their arrival, reports have emerged suggesting that some local residents have expressed frustration over the presence of high-profile newcomers. Social media commentary and news coverage indicate that certain villagers feel DeGeneres is 'not welcome,' reflecting broader anxieties about celebrities moving into traditionally private communities. At the same time, other sources emphasise that the couple is polite, respectful and largely accepted by their neighbours.
