Angelina Jolie eyes a fresh start far away from American shores and political views. Reports whisper she’s gearing up for a big move once her youngest kids hit adulthood, shedding properties and past baggage. Rumors swirl that Jolie sold her New York apartment and is prepping her Los Angeles mansion for sale. The Oscar winner stayed put in LA mainly for her six children amid the drawn-out divorce from Brad Pitt. Custody terms kept her anchored, but that’s shifting fast. Twins Knox and Vivienne turn 18 this summer, unlocking her exit plan. During a 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the Atelier Jolie founder described Los Angeles as lacking “humanity.” She’s genuinely excited, craving privacy, peace, and a slice of the humanity she misses stateside.
Why is Angelina Jolie leaving America? Is there a political reason?
Angelina Jolie dropped a few hints at the San Sebastian Film Festival last September while hyping her film Couture. She spoke bluntly about not recognizing her country anymore, especially with Donald Trump’s return to the White House. “Anything that divides or limits freedoms feels very heavy,” she shared. LA struck her as lacking soul in a 2024 Hollywood Reporter interview. “I’m here because of divorce obligations, but as soon as they’re 18, I’ll leave,” she admitted, dreaming of family safety abroad, she said in the same interview.
The financial toll of legal battles
Legal wars with Pitt drained her coffers through endless battles over wine, planes, and custody. Now her eyes stretch dollars in cheaper spots overseas. Insiders note financial strain pushed practical choices; living abroad offers relief. She’s no stranger to global roots, with deep ties to Cambodia from her humanitarian work there. France and African spots also tempt her, as reported by Daily Mail and RadarOnline.
