Ellen DeGeneres’ British villa ‘flooded’ just weeks after fleeing US ‘due to Donald Trump’s presidential win’

Your dreams are soaked.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s English farmhouse has been flooded after torrential rain, says a new report that sounds like a bombshell.

The couple recently bought a multi-million pound property in the Cotswolds, about two hours outside London, and are reportedly looking to settle there permanently following Donald Trump’s election victory.

But the 43-hectare site is now under water after the River Thames burst its banks following Storm Bert earlier this week, the Daily Mail reports.

Numerous roads in the Cotswolds have become impassable after being flooded with five feet of water

Many locals are trapped in their homes, and a resident who lives near the couple told the outlet: “The floods are rising by the hour. This is the worst thing I’ve seen in years.”

The flooding came after DeGeneres and de Rossi reportedly moved to England following Trump’s presidential election victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.

Sources previously told the Wrap that DeGeneres and de Rossi have packed up and moved to the UK and are preparing to put their Montecito, California, mansion on the market to start over abroad.

The duo, who married in 2008, will likely “never” return to the US permanently, a source claimed.

Other insiders told TMZ that the duo decided to “get the hell out” of the country immediately after the president-elect’s victory, which left them “very disillusioned.”

During the election season, DeGeneres was vocal about her support for Harris and reportedly donated $3,300 to her campaign.

DeGeneres and de Rossi were reportedly already settling into their new home before the floods, as they were recently pictured enjoying a night out at a local pub in Burford, UK, earlier this month.

In a video shared to The Farmer’s Dog’s Instagram page, a band plays as the camera pans to a table where the former talk show host is rocking her brunette hair while her wife sits next to her.

The Cotswolds is a picturesque and affluent part of England where many British celebrities boast country homes.

DeGeneres and de Rossi’s new neighbors include David and Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss and Elizabeth Hurley.
