On November 6 it was announced that Donald Trump had officially won the election and was once again the President of the United States.
The news was shocking and upsetting for many celebrities who had been vocal about their support for the Democratic party and endorsed Kamala Harris.
For some, the news has been an alarm bell, signalling that it’s time to move from the US and settle somewhere else, with some citing Roe v Wade’s overturning and gun violence and reasons behind their move.
Several A-listers have claimed that they would move if Trump came to power, and some have already made a move across the pond to the UK.
It has now been reported that the election results influenced Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi’s recent move to the UK.
The Wrap reported that the couple has ditched their life in Montecito and set themselves up in the Cotswolds, telling friends that Trump coming to power was the ‘primary motivation’ and that they planned to ‘never return’ to the US.
