Her dramatic political exit, widely celebrated in liberal circles, has now given way to a far less publicized homecoming, according to Gateway Pundit. The disgraced former daytime star has reportedly purchased a $27 million mansion in Montecito, California, a playground for Hollywood elites and coastal progressives, as reported by Fox News. For a celebrity who insisted she was fleeing an “unbearable” political climate, the lure of ocean views and gated estates appears to have outweighed her professed principles.
Just over a year ago, DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, decamped to the Cotswolds in England, announcing they were “never coming back.” She cited the “political climate” and President Trump’s landslide win as the reason she had to escape America, even complaining about receiving “texts with crying emojis” from her liberal friends when the election results came in.

At the time, DeGeneres could not praise the United Kingdom highly enough, contrasting it favorably with the country she had just abandoned. “It’s absolutely beautiful,” she said. “We’re just not used to seeing this kind of beauty. The villages and the towns and the architecture — everything you see is charming, and it’s just a simpler way of life.”

Her praise for Britain extended beyond scenery and architecture, veering into a sweeping indictment of American culture and values. “It’s clean. Everything here is just better — the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here.” Yet, in a twist that many will see as poetic, her much-touted English refuge was soon hit by flooding, damaging the very mansion that symbolized her escape from Trump-era America.

Now, DeGeneres is back in the heart of the celebrity enclave she once left behind, closing on a sprawling estate in Montecito. Fox News reported: Ellen DeGeneres is “California Dreamin'” more than one year after ditching the states for a farm in the English countryside.

While the former talk show host recently purchased a $27 million mansion in her beloved Montecito community with wife Portia de Rossi, they likely won’t be staying for long. A source told Fox News Digital the couple wanted to spend the winter in Montecito and that their move back to Southern California is “temporary.”

“Ellen and Portia love the Cotswolds and can’t wait to return to England,” the insider said. The couple has been “missing the California weather and horse scene” since their relocation across the pond, a source told People magazine, adding, “Portia loves polo and her horses.”

Cotswold locals told the publication they hadn’t seen DeGeneres “in ages.” Another source said the comedian was once frequently spotted around town over the summer but hasn’t been seen since, underscoring the pattern of Hollywood elites loudly denouncing conservative America while quietly returning to enjoy its prosperity, security, and lifestyle whenever it suits them.
