Angelina Jolie’s long-anticipated move from Los Angeles
Jolie has been vocal about her desire to leave California. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in August 2024 she explained her previous reluctance to relocate. “I have to be here from a divorce” she stated at that time referring to her ongoing legal proceedings with her ex-husband. However, she also made clear her intentions once the situation changed. “But as soon as they’re 18, I’ll be able to leave” she said. The actress elaborated on what she values in a living environment and what she hopes to provide for her family. “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” she explained expressing her preference for the lifestyle and values she has encountered internationally.
