Courtney Love Becomes Latest Celebrity To Quit U.S. in the Wake of Donald Trump’s White House Return

Kurt Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, has joined a growing list of celebrities who have quit the U.S. and moved abroad in the wake of President Donald Trump's return to the White House.

Love, 60, announced her decision to permanently ditch her home country in favor of relocating to the U.K. during an appearance in London, telling spectators at a talk at the Royal Geographical Society that she is planning to apply for British citizenship, while branding President Trump's plans for the U.S. "frightening."

"It's so great to live here," she said, according to the Daily Mail. "I’m finally getting my British citizenship in six months. I get to be a citizen. I'm applying, man! Can't get rid of me!"

Love—whose husband Cobain died by suicide in 1994—cited Trump's administration as being the reason for her move.

"In terms of Trump, and particularly this group... it's like emperor-core. Like, [they're] wearing million-dollar watches," she said. "Emperor-core is going on at Mar-a-Lago. It's frightening now. It's like cyanide now."

The singer, who has been an outspoken critic of Trump, 78, for years, initially moved to the U.K. from her home in Los Angeles back in 2019—but says she now plans to make London her permanent home.

The singer-songwriter previously gushed about her love of the British city, telling the Evening Standard in 2017, "I know I’m going to end up there. I know what neighborhood I’m going to end up in, and I know that I want to be on the Thames.

"I subscribe to this magazine called Country Life, which is just real-estate porn and fox hunting. It’s amazing."

Love rose to stardom as the lead vocalist and guitarist of the band Hole, which she formed in 1989. She was the leader of the group until they separated in 2002, before later reuniting from 2010 to 2013.

She made headlines when she tied the knot with Cobain in 1992, welcoming a daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, now 32, that same year.

The couple first lived together in a Los Angeles fixer-upper that boasted 2,500 square feet, three bedrooms, three bathrooms—and was even the spot where Cobain wrote part of Nirvana's last album, "In Utero."

The property sold to a lucky buyer for $1.5 million in 2021.

They then moved to a dwelling in Seattle, which is where Cobain died by suicide—just three months after they bought the abode for $1.48 million.

That property last sold for $7 million in 2020, according to records.
