Angelina Jolie is looking for a new start abroad.
The movie star plans to build homes in three different parts of the world (Cambodia, France, and Africa) because each place has a special meaning to her, a source told Us Weekly Wednesday.
Jolie, 50, adopted her eldest son Maddox, 24, in Cambodia, daughters Zahara, 20, and Shiloh, 19, were born in Ethiopia and Namibia respectively, and 17-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne were born in Nice. She also has a son, Pax, who was born in Vietnam, and has all six of her children with ex Brad Pitt.
A source added to Us Weekly that Jolie is ready for a change as her youngest children turn 18 in July.
“They’re all very special places,” a source said of the locations chosen by the “Maleficent” star. “She has close friends in all of (these areas) and considers them her best friends and family.”
Jolie had been itching to move abroad for some time. In 2019, she told Harper’s Bazaar magazine, “I want to live abroad and plan to do so as soon as my children turn 18. For now, I have to be based where their father chooses to live.”
She and Pitt, 61, separated in 2016, but their divorce wasn’t finalized until 2024 after eight years of legal battles. However, the ex-lovers are still fighting in court over the $500 million French winery Chateau Miraval.
Another source told Us Weekly that Jolie “will always love” Los Angeles, but “feels like she’s served her purpose” and is “ready for the next chapter”, adding that “you can really feel the change” in the actress.
“Although Angelina will be traveling back and forth to Los Angeles for work, she does not call Los Angeles home,” the source explained. “She’s ready to delve deeper into directing and producing.”
Page Six exclusively reported in August that the Oscar winner has already put her six-bedroom California mansion, once owned by famed film director Cecil B. DeMille, on the market.
A few weeks later, Jolie attended the 2025 San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain and spoke about why she had been disappointed with the political situation in the United States.
“I have to say that I love my country, but I don’t recognize it at the moment,” she said at the time.
“I have always lived internationally. My family is international. My life, my worldview is equal (and) unified. I think anything that divides or restricts personal expression and freedom (for anyone) anywhere is very dangerous. I think we have to be careful not to say things lightly because these are very serious times.”
