She has made no secret of her intention to move abroad once her children turn 18.
And a new report has shed further light into Angelina Jolie’s relocation plans and where she will likely be based once she leaves Los Angeles.
A new Us Weekly article has dug deeper into Jolie’s relocation efforts, with an insider revealing she will likely be spending time in areas of the world connected to her children.
Jolie is also legally single following the end of her years-long divorce battle from Brad Pitt late last year, with a source telling the site, ‘You can really feel a shift in Angelina recently; she’s lighter and more at ease,’ they said. ‘She’ll always love L.A., but she feels it has served its purpose. She’s ready for her next chapter.’
A second insider added: ‘She’s very excited for this next phase of her life.’
The second source says Jolie intends on moving in July after her youngest children, twins Knox and Vivienne, celebrate their 18th birthday, and will probably be based part-time in Cambodia, the country where she adopted son Maddox from in 2002, and an area where she also owns property.

Jolie also will likely be found in France and Africa, areas of the world that are also close to her heart.
Her twins were born in Nice, France, and she adopted daughter Zahara from Ethiopia and gave birth to Shiloh in Namibia.
‘They’re all very special places,’ the source continued. ‘She has dear friends in all of [those areas] who she considers confidantes and family.’
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Jolie over the report but have not yet heard back.
The new report comes after Jolie revealed she no longer recognizes the United States, after she addressed her fears as an artist and American following controversy surrounding Jimmy Kimmel’s show (the late night series was briefly taken off the air following comments he made about Charlie Kirk’s accused killer).
‘The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,’ Kimmel said on his show, which sparked the controversy. ‘In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.’
President Trump’s FCC chairman Brendan Carr accused Kimmel of ‘slandering’ the late Turning Point USA founder and suggested that ABC could face consequences if it didn’t take action. He also warned the FCC may review the public interest obligations of ABC and its affiliates.
Days after the scandal erupted, Angelina was asked about her concerns as an artist and American at a press conference at the San Sebastian Film Festival.
‘It is a very difficult question,’ Angelina said, according to Variety. ‘I love my country, but at this time, I don’t recognize my country.’
‘I’ve always lived internationally, my family is international, my friends, my life… My worldview is equal, united, and international. Anything anywhere that divides or limits personal expressions and freedoms from anyone, I think, is very dangerous. These are such serious times that we have to be careful not to say things casually. These are very, very heavy times we are living in together,’ she said.
Jolie has also previously denounced Trump’s policies during his first administration.
She wrote in an op-ed for The New York Times: ‘We must never allow our values to become the collateral damage of a search for greater security.’

A mother of six, Jolie shares Maddox, 24, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, and Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 17, with ex-husband Brad Pitt, 61, whom she filed for divorce from in 2016.
After their split, Angelina purchased a historic Los Feliz estate owned by iconic Hollywood director Cecil B. DeMille – a home located nearby their father.
‘I wanted it to be close to their dad, who is only five minutes away,’ she told Harper’s Bazaar in 2019.
‘I would love to live abroad and will do so as soon as my children are 18. Right now I’m having to base where their father chooses to live,’ she added.

A source recently told People Jolie ‘is ‘eyeing several locations abroad’ and intends on selling the house and moving once her youngest children turn 18.
Jolie ‘never wanted to live in L.A. full time’ but she ‘didn’t have a choice because of the custody arrangement with Brad,’ a source told People. The exes reached a settlement in their ugly divorce in December 2024 after an eight-year legal battle.
‘She’ll be very happy when she’s able to leave Los Angeles,’ the insider added.
Jolie previously opened up about her desire to leave Los Angeles in 2024, but said she had to remain in California until her and Pitt’s six children all turn 18.

‘I grew up in this town [Los Angeles]. I am here because I have to be here from a divorce, but as soon as they’re 18, I’ll be able to leave,’ she told The Hollywood Reporter.
She continued: ‘When you have a big family, you want them to have privacy, peace, safety. I have a house now to raise my children, but sometimes this place can be … that humanity that I found across the world is not what I grew up with here.’
After her youngest two children become legal adults, Jolie said she plans on spending ‘a lot of time in Cambodia’ and visiting her ‘family members wherever they may be in the world.’
Jolie will join a number of other Hollywood stars who’ve left Los Angeles in recent years, including Natalie Portman, Mark Wahlberg, Eva Longoria, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, Sophie Turner as well as Rosie O’Donnell among others.
In the meantime, the star is remaining busy with her thriving career in showbiz, which recently pivoted from Hollywood to Broadway.
Jolie has pivoted towards Broadway these last few years, co-producing The Outsiders, a production that won Best Musical at the Tonys last year
She co-produced the show The Outsiders, a production based on S.E Hinton’s 1987 novel and Francis Ford Coppola’s 1983 coming-of-age crime drama.
Last year it won numerous Tony Awards – including Best Musical.
‘In Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1967, Ponyboy Curtis, his best friend Johnny Cade and their Greaser family of ‘outsiders’ battle with their affluent rivals, the Socs. THE OUTSIDERS navigates the complexities of self-discovery as the Greasers dream about who they want to become in a world that may never accept them. With a dynamic original score, THE OUTSIDERS is a story of friendship, family, belonging…and the realization that there is still “lots of good in the world,”‘ according to the show’s website.
In a conversation with the musical’s director Danya Taymor, Jolie reflected on how the storyline has resonated with audiences around the world.
‘Somebody said, “You know, this is a uniquely American story.” But I have also found it extraordinary how much the story has resonated globally,’ she explained in the video, obtained by People.
‘It’s what we have in common. Everywhere in the world has something that has challenged those neighborhoods, those families, those people, where you’re wondering your place and where communities or class systems put people against each other and have made them feel very different and very separate.’
