It’s been a tough year for Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi. First, they faced rumors of marital issues and a lukewarm comeback after the 2024 election results.
Now, their new life in the UK is off to a rough start. The couple’s decision to leave the US and start anew in Cotswolds, England, has been dealt a major blow – their dream home is reportedly underwater.
A Swanky Mansion Surrounded by a Swamp-Like Lake
DeGeneres and Rossi’s new UK abode is said to be a stunning mansion, fitting for a celebrity couple of their stature. However, the grandeur of their home is being overshadowed by the devastating floods that have hit Cotswolds. One local resident told DailyMail, “The flood waters are rising by the hour.
This is the worst I have seen it in years.” The severity of the situation has left their home surrounded by a swamp-like lake, making it almost uninhabitable.
The Real Reason Behind Their Move to the UK
Earlier this year, fans were surprised when DeGeneres and Rossi sold their $70 million mansion in Carpinteria, California, which they had only purchased in 2022. The couple also quietly listed their Montecito mansion for sale. According to sources, the 2024 presidential election results were the primary reason for their decision to leave the US. The outcome of the election reportedly prompted them to start fresh in the UK, ahead of Donald Trump’s second term in the White House.
Safety Concerns Amidst the Floods
As the floodwaters continue to rise, concerns about the safety of DeGeneres, Rossi, and the entire community are growing. We can only hope that they, along with everyone else affected by the floods, are safe and sound.
A Rollercoaster Year for the Celebrity Couple
From rumors of marital issues to a lackluster comeback, DeGeneres and Rossi have faced their fair share of challenges this year. Now, their dream home in the UK is at risk due to the devastating floods. Let’s hope this celebrity couple can find a way to overcome these obstacles and start anew in their adopted country.
