Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are facing a nightmare as their newly purchased English farmhouse in the Cotswolds has been flooded following torrential rains. The 43-acre property was submerged after the River Thames broke its banks during Storm Bert. Many roads in the area are impassable, leaving locals trapped in their homes.
The couple reportedly relocated to the UK following Donald Trump’s election victory and are planning to put their California mansion on the market. Sources claim they may never return to the US on a permanent basis. DeGeneres had been vocal about her support for Vice President Kamala Harris during the election season.
Before the floods, DeGeneres and de Rossi were settling into their new home and were pictured enjoying a night out at a local pub in Burford. The Cotswolds is known for being a picturesque and wealthy area where many British celebrities own country houses. Their new neighbors include David and Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, and Elizabeth Hurley.
DeGeneres and de Rossi’s dream of a peaceful countryside retreat has been shattered by the devastating floods. The couple, known for their philanthropy and environmental activism, now face the daunting task of dealing with the aftermath of the natural disaster in their new home.
