Ellen DeGeneres to Move Back to the US? Rumors Fly After Cotswolds Home Sale

ELLEN DEGENERES SPARKS FURY WITH $30.5 MILLION FARMHOUSE SALE: IS SHE REALLY COMING BACK TO THE US?

The drama is unfolding in the English countryside as beloved comedian Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, put their stunning Cotswolds farmhouse on the market for a staggering $30.5 million. But what's got everyone talking is whether this sale signals the end of their UK escapade and a return to the good ol' US of A.

Ellen, 67, and Portia, 52, made headlines last year when they traded in their LA lifestyle for a life in the English countryside, citing the need to escape the chaos of Donald Trump's presidency. But now, it seems they're packing up the farmhouse they purchased just 12 months ago for $20 million and heading... somewhere else?

The news has sent shockwaves among fans who are still reeling from their move across the pond. "Oh no! Move to London or Paris," pleaded one fan on X (formerly Twitter). Another joked, "No, we don't want them back!" while a third user directly tweeted to President Trump: "Donald Trump, quick revoke their visas." But not everyone is buying into the drama – some are quick to point out that Ellen and Portia have two properties in England, and this sale simply means they're upgrading to a bigger and better estate.

In a rare public appearance in the UK, Ellen addressed the rumors head-on. "We decided we needed a different house, and now we are selling that house," she explained to an audience. "So if anyone wants a house, it's a beautiful stone farmhouse! To clarify, I'm not selling the new one we now live in. I'm selling the old stone farmhouse."

But what sparked their decision to sell this particular property? According to Ellen, they'd initially planned to split their time between LA and England, but after Trump's re-election, they decided to make the UK their permanent home. "We were hopeful for Kamala," she revealed. "We thought, at least let's get a place here." They purchased the farmhouse just days before the election, with Ellen quipping that they'd been planning to return to the States but ended up deciding to stay put.

The new estate, which has just hit the market, boasts an impressive 43 acres of rolling Cotswold countryside and is described as "discreetly set at the end of a long private driveway." The beautifully reimagined farmhouse combines period charm with sleek modern design, featuring a central landscaped courtyard that brings light and flow to the interiors. Designed for grand-scale entertaining or relaxing in style, this estate is truly fit for a king (or queen).

But amidst all the speculation about Ellen's future plans, one thing is clear: her fans are divided on whether they want her back in the States or not. While some are eager to see her return to her roots, others are thrilled that she's found a new home – and possibly even a new lease on life.
