Ellen DeGeneres faces unsure future amid steady struggles

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s dream of a quieter life in Britain could also be turning right into a nightmare. 

The couple, who bought an $18 million farmhouse in England’s Cotswolds, are dealing with backlash from locals over their plans to renovate the historic property.

“The locals are cranky over their plans to modernize their property,” a supply shared with Radar On-line. 

“Most folks would like nothing more than to see them move out. A lot of people in England can trace their family tree back over a thousand years and they don’t take kindly to outsiders coming in and disturbing the peace.”

The couple’s marriage can also be beneath pressure, insiders declare. “Ellen and Portia’s neighbors battle is the least of their worries – Ellen’s dead showbiz career has plunged her into a funk, and Portia has been dragged into it too. Their relationship isn’t looking good,” an insider revealed.

The couple had hoped that leaving the U.S. would supply them with peace and privateness, particularly after Ellen’s controversial fall from daytime TV stardom. Nonetheless, adjusting to a brand new nation and dealing with pushback from locals have added extra stress.

Their renovation plans have raised issues about potential flooding dangers and damaging historic Roman stays on the property. 

“Ellen has done a complete overhaul on just about every property she’s owned in the States, but it’s a different ball of wax in the U.K.,” the supply stated.

The couple’s current sale of their Montecito mansion for $32 million allowed them to relocate abroad, reportedly to flee the U.S. political local weather. Nonetheless, sources say they could be regretting that call.

“Ellen’s got to be wondering if they made a terrible mistake,” the insider defined. “One of the reasons she wanted to get out of the U.S. was to escape the negativity. She really thought things would be better, not worse.”

With native tensions rising and the couple’s private life reportedly fraying, Ellen’s future seems unsure.
