A source told The Wrap that Ellen put her Montecito estate on the market and had no plans of returning to the US because of the outcome of the recent presidential elections.
However, sources told TMZ that they had decided to move to the UK even before the elections, but they were “very disillusioned” by Donald Trump’s win. So they immediately decided "to get the hell out,” one source told the outlet.

The iconic comedian previously spoke about her decision to bid farewell to the limelight after the controversial end to her show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
In a candid moment during her Ellen’s Last Stand…Up comedy tour in July, the Hollywood star announced to her audience that she is officially “done” with showbiz.
During the Q&A session, a hopeful fan asked her whether they would be able to see more of her “on Broadway or [in] movies.”

“Um, no,” Ellen replied. “This is the last time you’re going to see me. After my Netflix special, I’m done.”
She gave a similar response of being done with Hollywood when another fan asked her to revive her role of Dory from the beloved Finding Nemo franchise.
“No, I’m going bye-bye, remember,” she said.
Fans had mixed reactions, with some questioning Ellen’s presence at the pub while others said “everyone deserves a second chance”
