Comedian and TV host Ellen DeGeneres has reportedly made the decision to leave the United States and settle in the UK, following Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 presidential election. Sources close to the entertainer claim that she’s looking for a change of scenery and a new life abroad after Trump’s election.
The talk show host, known for her lively, upbeat personality, has made no secret of her disappointment over the results, which sparked an outpouring of reactions from celebrities. DeGeneres, who was one of the many public figures who openly criticized Trump’s candidacy, has now decided to move across the Atlantic to England, where she plans to explore new professional and personal opportunities.
Although DeGeneres has not released a statement publicly confirming her move, friends and colleagues have hinted that she is excited about the fresh start. It remains to be seen what impact her relocation will have on her career, especially after the long-running success of her daytime talk show.
This news comes amid a wave of celebrities who have expressed intentions to leave the country if Trump were to win, with several others making similar moves in the years following his inauguration.
DeGeneres’ move marks a significant shift for the beloved TV personality, who has been an integral part of American pop culture for decades. Whether her decision is temporary or permanent, only time will tell.
