Angelina Jolie Reportedly Plans to Leave Hollywood
It appears that Angelina Jolie is preparing to say farewell to Hollywood. Sources indicate she’s looking to move abroad and is even getting ready to sell her house.
“Jolie didn’t want to stay in LA full-time. The custody arrangement with her ex, Brad Pitt, made it difficult,” an insider revealed.
First reported by Page 6, it seems that Jolie is eager to leave Los Angeles, particularly when her twins turn 18 next year. “We’ll be relocating soon,” she reportedly said, while also considering various international locations. She’d definitely feel happier away from LA.
Jolie and Pitt finalized their divorce in December 2024, and they share six children: Maddox, 24, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, who are 17.
In a 2024 interview with Hollywood Reporter, she briefly reflected on her personal life, emphasizing her kids’ happiness amid a tumultuous divorce process.
Interestingly, while Jolie mentioned that she grew up in Los Angeles, she’s stayed there only due to her divorce. “I have to be here because of my situation,” she explained.
“But once they’re 18, I’ll have the freedom to leave. I’m seeking more privacy for my large family,” she continued. “When you have a big family, you hope for peace and security for them. Sometimes this place doesn’t reflect the kind of world I want for my kids.”
Jolie also mentioned a desire to travel extensively if given the chance. “I spend a lot of time in Cambodia,” she said, noting that it’s where she adopted Maddox in 2002.
The divorce saga started back in September 2016, after just two years of marriage. They reached a settlement last December, following a highly publicized legal battle that lasted almost eight years.
Jolie’s attorney, James Simon, remarked that her focus has been on healing for her family during this process. “She’s been working on finding peace since filing for divorce all those years ago,” he stated.
A close source shared that Jolie has chosen to keep matters about Pitt private, trying to move past a difficult chapter in her life. “The children have seen that sometimes their voices don’t matter because of the power dynamics at play,” the insider added. “They want her to advocate for herself and focus on making positive changes.”
