On Instagram, Ellen DeGeneres shared a heartfelt post celebrating her and Portia de Rossi’s 20-year relationship, accompanied by a charming picture of the couple. Amid this celebratory note, she addressed the circulating gossip head-on. The internet was abuzz with claims that torrential rains had submerged their property in the Cotswolds. ‘P.S. for those of you concerned, our UK farmhouse did NOT flood,’ DeGeneres reassured her followers, quelling any fears.
The Daily Mail had reported on Saturday that Ellen’s 43-acre estate had succumbed to rising waters. Yet, the former talk show host was quick to clarify, using her social media platform to deny these reports while simultaneously reminiscing about the past two decades with de Rossi. ’20 years ago today we began this relationship not realizing what a long beautiful adventure this would be,’ she had posted, reflecting on their journey together.
The couple’s relocation to the UK came in the wake of Trump’s electoral victory, an event that left them feeling ‘very disillusioned,’ according to TMZ sources. Previously residing in Montecito, California, DeGeneres and de Rossi were no strangers to dealing with natural calamities, having been affected by mudslides and flash floods in the past.
Their move was reportedly motivated by a desire to ‘get the hell out’ of the United States, with plans to never return. Despite claims that they purchased their English property prior to the election, their departure from the US seemed definitive. Ellen also voiced public support for Kamala Harris during the election, expressing high hopes for her presidency on Instagram, months before the results were known.
Social media can often amplify hearsay into a full-blown narrative, as seen in this case. Through a simple post, Ellen DeGeneres managed to dispel rumors and redirect focus back to celebrating life’s important milestones. Whether it’s moving continents or navigating media storms, Ellen continues to take each challenge in stride.
