As we know by now,\u00a0Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi<\/a>\u00a0are splitting their time between the US and the UK. However, their UK life has hit another major hurdle (and it\u2019s making fans question if their UK move is gonna stick)!<\/p>\n

Not only have locals tried to stop them expanding, along with excessive flooding, but insiders also reported to The Daily Mail<\/a> that while the pair are looking to build new horse stables at their Cotswolds home, it has hit a hurdle<\/a>. While they submitted an application to the West Oxfordshire District Council, an archaeological team says they can\u2019t because the property may have Roman remains buried underneath.<\/p>\n

The team told the outlet, \u201cHistoric maps and aerial photographs suggest that the area of the proposed stable building has not seen previous development as part of the farm, and so, it is possible that Roman remains survive on the site.\u201d<\/p>\n

For those who don\u2019t know, DeGeneres and Rossi met back in 2001 at a Rock the Vote concert. However, they didn\u2019t get together until 2004 after breaking up with their respective partners. When they reconnected in 2004, they split with their respective partners, and they started dating. The pair later got engaged, and married in Aug 2008<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As we said before, after Trump\u2019s victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, DeGeneres and Rossi left their California properties<\/a>\u00a0to move to the UK, later confirming that\u00a0the election was the reason. They sold one UK home but still have their multi-million dollar mansion with their horses.<\/p>\n

However, earlier this year, it was reported that the pair\u00a0bought\u00a0<\/a>producer Brian Grazer\u2019s Montecito mansion for $27.4 million in an off-market deal at the end of November, sparking rumors of their return to the US. But now we know, they\u2019re splitting time!<\/p>\n

An insider told People <\/a>that the pair are \u201cnot moving back to the U.S.<\/a> but will continue to split her time between both the U.K. and Montecito, [Calif.].\u201d They added that the pair have been \u201cmissing the California weather and horse scene.\u201d<\/p>\n
