After years in the spotlight, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have decided to leave the US behind.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n
\n
\n
Ellen DeGeneres is no stranger to major life changes, and this one is no different. Recently, she shared news of her retirement from the entertainment industry, closing a chapter on a long and iconic career.<\/p>\n

The comedian and talk show host became a household name with her 19-season run on\u00a0The Ellen DeGeneres Show<\/em>. Now, she\u2019s stepping away from the limelight, revealing that her Netflix special, filmed in August 2024, would be her last big project.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the announcement came around the time she and her wife, Portia de Rossi, celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary\u2014a milestone Ellen called ‘both lucky and incredibly special.’<\/p>\n<\/article>\n

<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And as if retiring wasn\u2019t enough, the couple is now preparing for another big shift in their lives\u2014they\u2019re leaving the United States and moving abroad.<\/p>\n

DeGeneres is widely recognized for her groundbreaking career, blending humor, heartfelt stories, and celebrity interviews in her daytime talk show. But her tenure ended in 2022 amidst claims of a toxic workplace environment, including accusations of harassment and discrimination.<\/p>\n

The fallout from those allegations marked the end of her long-running show, leading to a quieter few years out of the public eye.<\/p>\n

\n
Although Ellen wasn\u2019t personally accused of misconduct, the controversy had a noticeable impact on her reputation. Since then, she has kept a relatively low profile, aside from her recent comedy tour,\u00a0Ellen’s Last Stand\u2026 Up<\/em>, which she confirmed would be her final public performance.<\/p>\n

Looking back on her journey and the highs and lows of her career, she said:\u00a0“This is the last time you’re going to see me. After my Netflix special, I’m done.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\n
The workplace scandal first surfaced in 2020 when BuzzFeed published reports detailing issues on her show.<\/p>\n

The expos\u00e9 featured accounts from former and current employees. One of them claimed:\u00a0“That ‘be kind’ bulls**t only happens when the cameras are on. It’s all for show.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Another added their take, stating:\u00a0“It’s her responsibility to go beyond what executive producers tell her.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/article>\n

<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Ellen addressed the allegations publicly, admitting that unacceptable things had occurred behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

However, it was clear the fallout marked a major turning point in her career and public image.<\/p>\n

In typical fashion, Ellen has used her stand-up routines to process the events through humor.<\/p>\n

She joked about her turbulent career, saying:\u00a0“This is the second time I’ve been kicked out of show business\u2026 Eventually, they’re going to kick me out for a third time because I’m mean, old, and gay.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/article>\n

<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
\n
While Ellen\u2019s jokes have brought some levity to the situation, she hasn\u2019t shied away from acknowledging the emotional toll.<\/p>\n

She described the entire ordeal as ‘devastating,’ adding that it left a lasting impression on her confidence.<\/p>\n

Beyond her professional life, Ellen and Portia have made significant personal changes too.<\/p>\n

Known for their love of Montecito real estate, the pair have now relocated to the U.K.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are\u00a0set to depart the US and move abroad.<\/span>\u00a0Alamy<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
\n
According to reports from\u00a0The Wrap<\/em>, their decision to leave the US was partly fueled by the reelection of former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

This event prompted Ellen and Portia to take decisive action.<\/p>\n

The couple, who have a history of flipping homes in Santa Barbara County, decided to expedite their move after Trump\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n

They had already purchased a charming property in the Cotswolds, about two hours from London, before the election.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s win only solidified their plans to leave the US behind and embrace a new life overseas.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n

<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Although the couple hasn\u2019t yet listed their sprawling Montecito estate for sale, their relocation to the tranquil British countryside seems like a deliberate move toward a slower, more private lifestyle.<\/p>\n

This fresh start could be exactly what Ellen needs after the challenges of recent years, giving her space to focus on healing and rediscovery.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on her experiences, Ellen joked during her Netflix special,\u00a0For Your Approval<\/em>:\u00a0“The ‘Be kind’ girl wasn’t kind,”<\/em>\u00a0She added with her signature wit:\u00a0“Had I ended my show by saying, ‘Go f*** yourselves,’ people would have been pleasantly surprised to find out I’m kind.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
