While it seemed as though Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were going to stay UK residents forever, soaking up the culture and the quiet life, their pals are telling a different story. In fact, it seems the controversial pair may be setting their sights on going back to the US “sooner than later.”

Insiders claimed to The Mail on Sunday that DeGeneres and de Rossi may move back to California again, maybe even part-time, because they allegedly “miss their friends” and hate the British winters.
“Ellen was adamant that she and Portia were going to stay in the UK while Trump was in the White House, but evidently she’s changed her mind somewhat,” the insider said. “She’s been telling friends they are coming home soon because they miss them and can’t take the winters over there, and Portia wants to act again. They will be here for the holidays and longer by the sound of it.”
They added, “Ellen was very clear that they’re coming back to California sooner rather than later. They miss the warm weather and their friends.”
So it seems the couple may be ready to be US homeowners again, but only time will tell.
Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi
For those who don’t know, DeGeneres and Rossi met back in 2001 at a Rock the Vote concert. However, they didn’t get together until 2004. When they reconnected in 2004, they split with their respective partners, and they started dating. The pair later got engaged, and married in Aug 2008.
After Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, DeGeneres and Rossi left all of their California properties behind to move to the UK, later confirming the election was the reason why.
“We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in.’ And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here,’” she said, confirming they’re done with the US. “We moved here in November, which was not the ideal time, but I saw snow for the first time in my life. We love it here. Portia flew her horses here, and I have chickens, and we had sheep for about two weeks.”
