Ellen DeGeneres admits decision to relocate to UK was because of Donald Trump's re-election: 'Everything here is just better'
Ellen DeGeneres has confirmed that her decision to leave America and relocate to the United Kingdom was sparked by the re-election of U.S. President Donald Trump . Speaking at Cheltenham's Everyman Theatre during a live conversation with broadcaster Richard Bacon ahead of her British comedy tour, DeGeneres candidly shared the motivation behind her decision to move with wife, Portia de Rossi . 'We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis,' she recalled. "And I was like, 'He got in.' And we're like, 'We're staying here'." Admitting that while she initially considered part-time residency, DeGeneres said the decision soon felt permanent. 'It's clean. Everything here is just better," she said and added, "The way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here." The comedian also voiced her concerns about the current state of LGBTQ+ rights in the US, citing efforts by certain religious groups to roll back same-sex marriage. 'The Baptist Church in America is trying to reverse gay marriage,' she said. 'They're trying to literally stop it from happening in the future and possibly reverse it. Portia and I are already looking into it, and if they do that, we're going to get married here [in the UK].' DeGeneres went on to share her wish to live in a society "where it was not scary for people to be who they are. I wish that we lived in a society where everybody could accept other people and their differences." DeGeneres is set to begin her UK tour later this week. It will be her new gig since ending The Ellen DeGeneres Show, her talk show that came to a controversial end in 2022.
