Ellen DeGeneres has put her extensively renovated Cotswolds farmhouse up for sale for \u00a322 million after less than a year as it lacked ‘horse facilities’ for her wife Portia de Rossi.<\/p>\n

The couple moved to the UK <\/a>from LA the day after Donald Trump<\/a> was re-elected as President because they wanted to ‘get the hell out of America’.<\/p>\n

However, a video on Sotheby\u2019s International Realty’s Instagram account has revealed Ms DeGeneres, 67, and Ms de Rossi, 52, have listed their 43-acre Kitesbridge Farm estate in the village of Asthall.<\/p>\n

They are seeking \u00a322 million for the sprawling mansion – \u00a315 million more than the price they paid in June.<\/p>\n

Set in the heart of Chipping Norton, the property features a ‘party barn with its own pub’, a heated indoor swimming pool, gym, and a separate helicopter shed.<\/p>\n

Ms DeGeneres explained the move was prompted by a need for space for Ms de Rossi’s horses.<\/p>\n

“When we decided to live here full time, we knew that Portia couldn\u2019t live without her horses,” she said in a statement via Sotheby’s seen by The Times.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe needed a home that had a horse facility and pastures for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple has already moved to a larger estate nearby, according to reports.<\/p>\n

It comes days after Ms DeGeneres told a crowd in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire that \u201ceverything is just better [in the UK] in her first public appearance since making the move.<\/p>\n

She was asked if Trump had motivated her decision to move to Britain at the event at Cheltenham\u2019s Everyman theatre on Sunday, to which she promptly replied: \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, \u2018He got in.\u2019 And we\u2019re like, \u2018We\u2019re staying here,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The former host of the popular self-titled talk show moved to the Cotswolds after ending the long-running program amid allegations of workplace bullying and embarked on a ‘final comedy tour’ across the US.<\/p>\n

Three producers were sacked after the scandal amid claims of sexual harassment and misconduct, and Ellen opened the final season of the show by giving an on-air apology.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter what, any article that came up, it was like, ‘She’s mean’, and it’s like, how do I deal with this without sounding like a victim or ‘poor me’ or complaining? But I wanted to address it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

“It’s as simple as, I’m a direct person, and I’m very blunt, and I guess sometimes that means that… I’m mean?”She added that it was “kind of crazy” that calling someone mean “can be the worst thing that you say about a woman”.<\/p>\n

“How dare us have any kind of mood, or you can’t be anything other than nice and sweet and kind and submissive and complacent.”<\/p>\n

She added: “I don’t think I can say anything that’s ever going to get rid of that [reputation] or dispel it, which is hurtful to me. I hate it. I hate that people think that I’m that because I know who I am and I know that I’m an empathetic, compassionate person.”<\/p>\n

It was ‘certainly an unpleasant way to end’ her talk show, she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"23 July 2025, 20:29 Ellen DeGeneres moved to the UK last year after Trump’s re-election.
