The political climate in the US has had a significant impact on many people, with some contemplating leaving the country after the recent presidential election.

One public figure who has openly discussed her decision to leave is former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. She, along with her wife Portia de Rossi and their children, has pledged to “never return.”

An insider close to the couple revealed to The Wrap that they have now settled in the Cotswolds and have no plans of returning to the United States, particularly as long as Trump is in office.

The couple’s decision represents a significant change, as they were once enthusiastic property investors in Los Angeles, owning several properties, including some in Santa Barbara.

As reported by Site Line, the couple is believed to have invested over $350 million in Santa Barbara properties since 2006.

However, Ellen’s departure from the US may not be entirely motivated by political issues or women’s rights, topics that have sparked widespread protests and debates since Trump’s presidency.

In her latest Netflix comedy special, Ellen humorously remarked, “I got kicked out of show business.”

Her Netflix special For Your Approval, which debuted in September, marks her first major project since leaving her long-running talk show amid controversy over allegations of a toxic work culture.
