Your move to England is said to have fallen through - Beyoncé and Jay-Z ditch Cotswolds move over severe flood risks
Beyoncé and Jay-Z have abandoned plans to move to the Cotswolds after discovering their chosen land faces a high flood risk. The couple had hoped to build a seven-bedroom home on a £7.5 million plot. Meanwhile, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have bought a new property in Montecito, California, while keeping their Cotswolds residence.
The Cotswolds plot attracted Beyoncé and Jay-Z partly because of its proximity to celebrity friends and neighbours. Locals had welcomed the idea of the couple moving in, but the flooding issue forced them to reconsider. The land remains on the market, with another interested buyer now exploring the purchase.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, who own a home near the same area, have decided to split their time between Britain and their new Montecito property. Despite missing parts of their old life in the U.S., the couple will maintain a presence in the Cotswolds.
The flood risk has halted Beyoncé and Jay-Z's relocation plans, leaving the £7.5 million plot available for another buyer. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, however, will continue dividing their time between the UK and California. The Cotswolds remains a sought-after location for high-profile residents.
