Have you heard the latest buzz about Ellen DeGeneres? Apparently, the beloved talk show host, and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have made quite a move, stirring up some chatter across the Atlantic.
They have decided to pack their bags and swap the glitz and glamour of the United States for the quaint charm of a small British town.
News spread like wildfire, leaving fans across the globe quite startled. The mention of Ellen setting foot on British soil had many eyebrows raised. Initially, the story was that Ellen was seeking a quiet retreat from the limelight for her ‘retirement.’
Some claimed she was nudged out of the Hollywood scene. Yet, whispers of discontent hinted that the seasoned comedian was seeking refuge from the hotbed of American politics, especially with Donald Trump taking the helm as president-elect.
Amidst all this speculation, inside sources painted a different picture. It seems Ellen and Portia’s escape to the serene Cotswolds was a decision they had mulled over long before the political tides turned, suggesting the move wasn’t entirely reactionary.
According to an insider chatting with the DailyMail, “Make no mistake about it. This is Ellen and Portia’s retirement. Neither one of them have any projects lined up.”
Ellen, having left a significant imprint on the entertainment industry, faced a bit of a bruising blow when her show got cancelled amidst rumors of how she treated her staff. It was a tough pill to swallow, especially as peers started voicing their grievances.
Adding a political twist to this saga, Steve Bannon, once an advisor to Trump, has vocalized his disdain. He accused Ellen and Portia of ‘infesting the Cotswolds’, suggesting they are fleeing their responsibilities.
In a rather colorful expression to The Sunday Times, he remarked, “F*** them. They’re not resilient… They had every advantage of state power. And guess what, we broke them and now they’re whining like little children.”
Ellen, known for her candor and generosity, had previously supported Kamala Harris’ campaign financially. It’s said that Trump’s election victory prompted her to decide it was time to ‘get the hell out’ and make a new life in the UK, promising little to no return to the States.
The delightful escapades of Ellen and Portia now add a new chapter to the storied charm of their chosen English retreat. The sleepy allure of the Cotswolds has beckoned them, perhaps offering the peace and quiet they yearn for after the always-on lifestyle of showbiz and public life.
It’s a place known for its golden stone architecture and rolling countryside, a perfect hideaway to reflect on past successes and maybe plot what comes next, far from the relentless buzz they left behind in America.
In the quaint silence of the Cotswolds, Ellen and Portia might find the right rhythm. It’s a drastic change from Los Angeles, a city synonymous with stars, sunshine, and stories.
There’s no doubt the Cotswolds have their allure with serene landscapes where nights are painted with quiet constellations far brighter than any Hollywood celebs. Who wouldn’t be tempted?
After years of laughter and tears, Ellen is stepping off the stage where she gifted us with humor and compassion.
Though her talks may be silent for now, perhaps she’s crafting another glorious chapter in her life.”—a life where the spotlight isn’t necessary to shine brightly.
