‘Worst in years’: Wild update after Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s surprise UK move

There’s been an unexpected – and unfortunate – development just days after it emerged that Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi had moved to England.

Ellen DeGeneres’ new home overseas is reportedly under water.

The former Ellen DeGeneres Show host’s mansion in the Cotswolds, England, has reportedly been ravaged by floods that have taken over the region.

“The flood waters are rising by the hour. This is the worst I have seen it in years,” a local resident told the Daily Mail on Saturday.

According to the outlet, the 43-acre property DeGeneres, 66, shares with wife Portia De Rossi is now surrounded by a swamp-like lake following days of torrential rain and winds of up to 120 kilometres per hour.

Page Six has reached out to the comedian’s reps for comment but did not immediately hear back. Neither she nor De Rossi, 51, have posted about the bad weather on social media, either.

DeGeneres reportedly moved abroad because she wanted to “get the hell out” of the US after Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election.

A source previously told TMZ that the comic and her wife felt “very disillusioned” by the results and so they settled into their home in the UK, which they reportedly bought before the election.

Page Six could not find any recent statements DeGeneres made about why she wanted to leave America.

However, the Ellen alum had been a vocal supporter of Kamala Harris leading up to Election Day.

“There’s nothing more powerful than a woman whose time has come! I can’t wait for @KamalaHarris to be our next president,” she wrote via Instagram back in August.

DeGeneres and De Rossi had been living primarily in California, where they once also experienced some bad flooding, before fleeing the country.

However, the former talk show host had been somewhat shunned by Hollywood following her 2020 toxic workplace scandal.

In September, she joked about getting kicked out of showbiz in her new Netflix special, which ultimately bombed and was slammed by critics.

Since going over to the UK, DeGeneres appears to be wanting to live a more low-key lifestyle.

Earlier this month, she was spotted sporting a new brunette hairdo while at a pub in England.
