Earlier this year, Ellen shared that the scandal surrounding her show took a significant emotional toll, explaining to Rolling Stone that it had a “toll on my ego and my self-esteem,” while acknowledging that the “extremes in this business” were tough to navigate.
Ellen is not the only prominent celebrity who seems to have left the US following Trump’s election. Earlier this month, Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria also made the decision to relocate, now splitting her time between Spain and Mexico.

However, she clarified this week on The View that her decision to move wasn’t solely due to Trump, as she told host Ana Navarro: “Will you please let them know I didn’t move out of the United States because of Trump?”
She continued: “I’ve been in Europe for almost three years.

“Everything you say is just meant to be divisive when we can’t be that way right now.”
