According to a new report in The Wrap, Ellen Degeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have opted for rural England. The 66-year-old former talk show host is taking up roots in the UK with her wife, 51, and they are believed to have no plans to return to the US.

The couple are now reportedly living in the Cotswolds, a rural portion of Southwest England.
