Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have reportedly taken a bold step by relocating to the United Kingdom, marking a fresh chapter in their lives.
According to In Touch, the couple’s move reflects a lifestyle shift that only the ultra-wealthy can contemplate. “Ellen and Portia going to England was an extreme move and the kind of thing only incredibly rich people with full staffs of helpers can even contemplate pulling off,” a source revealed.
A close friend of the couple shared that the move involved leaving behind most of their possessions in Southern California. “In terms of their possessions, they left pretty much everything back in SoCal for their staff to sort through, get rid of, put into storage, and even sell,” the insider explained.
The couple, who spent years meticulously curating their furniture and clothing collections and designing their homes in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, have chosen to leave it all behind. “They are truly starting over in England and that says a lot because they put thousands of hours into their furniture and clothing collections and designing their homes,” the source added.
The decision to relocate appears to have been largely driven by Ellen, with Portia ready to embrace the change. “Ellen was just done with America, and Portia was also ready to turn the page,” the insider noted.
The source emphasized the significance of the move, saying, “But make no mistake, they left behind millions of dollars in possessions and collections to make this move.” They added that because the decision originated with Ellen, “you have to peel back the layers a little bit.”
The move to the UK represents a significant lifestyle adjustment for the couple, who have long been associated with their luxurious Californian homes. While they leave behind a wealth of material possessions, their relocation reflects a shared commitment to starting anew in a different country.
As Ellen and Portia settle into their new life abroad, the boldness of their decision underscores their readiness to embrace change and leave behind a meticulously crafted chapter of their lives in America.
