Angelina Jolie Plans Permanent Relocation Abroad After Youngest Children Turn 18

Angelina Jolie has placed her Los Feliz mansion on the market as part of preparations for an international move. The historic property once belonged to filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille. This decision enables greater freedom following years of custody constraints in Los Angeles.

The relocation awaits her twins turning 18 in July 2026. Jolie purchased the home in 2017 to facilitate shared custody arrangements with ex-husband Brad Pitt. The location kept her only five minutes from his residence.

In a 2019 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Jolie stated the choice explicitly. “I wanted it to be close to their dad, who is only five minutes away,” she said. “As soon as they’re 18, I’ll be able to leave.”

An exclusive source shared details with People magazine. “She’s ready for a life that isn’t centered in Los Angeles,” the source revealed. Jolie anticipates pursuing multiple projects requiring extended travel flexibility abroad.

Potential destinations include countries with personal significance. She owns a rural property in Cambodia where she adopted son Maddox in 2002. France holds meaning as the birthplace of her twins in Nice.

Africa features connections through other adoptions and births. Daughter Zahara came from Ethiopia. Daughter Shiloh was born in Namibia.

The plans follow finalization of her divorce from Pitt last year. Their separation began in 2016 amid a prolonged custody battle. Reports indicate estrangement between Pitt and some of the children.

Jolie maintains residences tied to her humanitarian work and family history. The upcoming change allows departure from the court-mandated proximity to Pitt. She expresses enthusiasm for the next chapter outside the United States.

The Los Feliz estate served primarily as a base for raising her six children near their father. Its sale marks the end of that obligation. Jolie focuses on international commitments once relocation proceeds.

Sources describe her outlook as positive regarding the shift. The move represents closure on the prolonged legal and personal challenges. Flexibility for professional pursuits drives the decision forward.
