Ellen DeGeneres Faces Backlash Over UK Home Renovations
Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, are encountering opposition from neighbors in the Cotswolds regarding renovations to their recently acquired £15 million farmhouse. The couple, who relocated to England in November 2024 following Donald Trump’s re-election, initiated plans for a single-story extension to their property. However, local residents have expressed concerns about potential flood risks and the preservation of nearby Roman ruins. Despite these objections, the West Oxfordshire District Council has deemed the extension acceptable, closing the case. The couple’s move to the UK marks a significant lifestyle change after DeGeneres’ retirement from show business, aiming for a quieter life in the English countryside.
