Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s newly purchased English farmhouse in the Cotswolds has reportedly been flooded after the River Thames burst its banks following Storm Bert earlier this week.
The 43-acre property, located about two hours outside of London, has been left partially underwater, according to a report by the Daily Mail.

The flooding in the area, described as the worst in years, has left numerous roads impassable and many residents stranded in their homes.
One neighbor near the couple’s estate told the outlet, “The flood waters are rising by the hour. This is the worst I have seen it in years.”
DeGeneres and de Rossi purchased the multi-million-pound property as part of an alleged plan to settle in England permanently following Donald Trump’s victory in the recent U.S. presidential election.
According to sources cited by The Wrap, the couple decided to relocate after feeling “disillusioned” with the election results.

The move marks a significant change for the duo, who have reportedly begun preparations to sell their Montecito, California, mansion.
Sources close to the couple indicated they do not plan to return to the U.S. on a permanent basis.
One insider told TMZ, “They decided to get the hell out” after Trump’s win over Kamala Harris.
DeGeneres, who has been a vocal supporter of Harris, reportedly donated $3,300 to her campaign during the election season.
The timing of the flooding comes as the couple was reportedly settling into their new property.

Earlier this month, DeGeneres and de Rossi were spotted at a local pub in Burford, enjoying a night out.
A video posted to The Farmer’s Dog’s Instagram page shows the former talk show host sporting brunette hair while sitting beside de Rossi as live music plays in the background.
Despite their efforts to adjust to life in the Cotswolds, the flooding has disrupted their plans.
Storm Bert brought heavy rainfall to the region, causing widespread flooding that has affected many wealthy estates and historic properties.
The Cotswolds, known for its scenic countryside and affluent residents, is home to a number of high-profile celebrities.
Among DeGeneres and de Rossi’s new neighbors are David and Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, and Elizabeth Hurley. The area has long been a favored retreat for those seeking privacy and picturesque surroundings.
As the floodwaters continue to rise, local authorities are working to assess the damage and provide relief to affected residents.
Meanwhile, DeGeneres and de Rossi face a challenging start to their new life abroad, as they navigate both the aftermath of the storm and their transition to living in England.
