Later reporting from Fox News said DeGeneres purchased a $27 million mansion in Montecito, California, and plans to stay there for the winter, with an insider suggesting the move back to England would be temporary; the couple is said to love the Cotswolds and expect to return. People Magazine is cited as saying she will split time between the U.K. and Montecito rather than relocate full-time. The piece also notes flooding at the U.K. property and references a New York Post tweet about the floods. Broadly, the article argues the move isn\u2019t political persecution, while contrasting it with exiles from other countries to reflect on American perspectives and blessings.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres did not last long in her new home overseas.<\/p>\n<p>After President Donald Trump&rsquo;s 2024 election victory, DeGeneres and her partner Portia de Rossi relocated to a 43-acre property in Cotswolds, England.<\/p>\n<p>That decision in itself could be a separate conversation.

DeGeneres, who viewed Trump as a threat and wanted to get away, chose to relocate to a country with a well-known struggle over free speech. Fox News later reported that she has returned to California and purchased a $27 million home in Montecito. An insider said the move back is only temporary and that she plans to stay through the winter, with another source noting that Ellen and Portia love the Cotswolds and look forward to returning to England.<\/p>\n<p>The piece also cites People Magazine, which said DeGeneres would continue splitting her time between the U.K. and Montecito, citing a longing for California\u2019s weather and horse scene. It notes that after buying the Cotswolds property for about $20 million, it apparently went back on the market in 2025 for around $30 million, and that the home faced flooding during DeGeneres\u2019s ownership. A New York Post tweet is referenced about the property\u2019s floods. The article contends that it\u2019s hard for many Americans to understand someone moving away after a presidential win and then returning with another expensive property, arguing this isn\u2019t political persecution or flight but a personal choice. It contrasts this with how refugees from Cuba and Venezuela might feel about leaving their homelands and starting over, implying DeGeneres\u2019s situation is more about personal preference than hardship. The piece also touches on broader issues like Hong Kong\u2019s housing pressures and the idea that some residents would jump at the chance to move to the United States, ending with various interactive elements typical of web articles<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2567534,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Michael-Featured-Image-641.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[73286,36238,34145,51379,43466],"class_list":["post-2567533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-california-mansion","tag-celebrity-news","tag-ellen-degeneres","tag-real-estate-2","tag-trump-victory"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Michael-Featured-Image-641.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2567533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2567533"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2567533\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2567537,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2567533\/revisions\/2567537"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2567534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2567533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2567533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2567533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
