This year, Angelina Jolie’s two youngest children, twins Knox and Vivienne, will turn 18 years old. While those six kids have barely had anything to do with Brad Pitt for the past nine years, Angelina was still somewhat legally trapped into having a homebase in LA as part of the technicalities of the custody deal. Well, last summer, People Magazine’s sources claimed that Angelina has big plans to move out of America once the twins turn 18. Months later, TMZ said that while Angelina might leave LA, she’s not committed to moving out of America. Well, People Magazine is back on the case of “when is Angelina going to sell her LA home??”
Angelina Jolie is getting ready to start an entirely new chapter in the new year. Four months after a source told PEOPLE that the Maria star, 50, was officially planning to put her historic Los Angeles house “up for sale” as she explores a move abroad, an insider tells PEOPLE her home is being shown to pre-qualified buyers after some renovations.
“She’s ready for a life that isn’t centered in Los Angeles,” the source says.
“There are a lot of projects she’s excited about and she’s feeling good,” they add of the Oscar winner. “She’s looking forward to 2026 and the flexibility she’ll have then.”
Jolie shares six children with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, 62 — Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 17. The exes reached a divorce settlement a year ago today on Dec. 30, 2024 after an eight-year legal battle. A source previously told PEOPLE that Jolie “never wanted to live in L.A. full time” but “she didn’t have a choice because of the custody arrangement with Brad [Pitt].”
As for when she plans to make the move, the source previously told PEOPLE that Jolie “plans to relocate as soon as Knox and Viv turn 18 next year. She’s eyeing several locations abroad. She’ll be very happy when she’s able to leave Los Angeles.”
Knox and Vivienne celebrate their 18th birthdays on July 12, 2026.
I believe the sources who are claiming that Angelina is counting down the days for when she can move out of LA, I just have my doubts about whether she’ll move abroad. I still think she’ll probably base herself in New York, and maybe she could conceivably have a place in England as well, in addition to her Cambodian estate/home. Incidentally, she wrapped on Anxious People last year and apparently she’s working on Sunny (a gangster film) right now. She’s got a bunch of projects in development too, which is exciting – so many of Angelina’s fans have wanted her to come back to acting in a bigger way, and she finally is.

Yeah I don’t believe she’s moving aboard. It kind of makes sense for her to move to NY since her business is located there.
A few years ago she said in an interview that she was planing to move to Africa once she wasn’t legally forced to live in LA any longer, but not sure if this is still her plan
She has always been more of a New Yorker, and I expect not living in the same state as her ex will be very freeing.
Not sure about her future plans but I know where she is right now. She’s at the Rafah Crossing on the Egyptian side. She can’t get into Gaza as we all know but she’s there, listening, talking and drawing attention to what’s happening. Well done, Angie. Much respect.
@Sparkle How do you know that? Has someone posted on social media?
Yes, it’s all over my insta but I’ve also seen it on twitter. with pics.
Damn. Is it possible to love this woman even more than I do now?
I hope she’s on a plane out of LA July 12 at 12:01 am. My guess is NYC or London, but I’m happy for her to get out of a city she dislikes so much regardless.
Why not both? If money were no object, I’d be living the NYLON life.
Nobody’s talking to abuser supporting outlet People Magazine, they know nothing, and Nobody’s from Angelina Jolie talking to Nobody especially not media trash that vilified her since her domestic violence.
Despite the fact domestic violence perpetrator Brad Pitt legally forced Angelina Jolie and her children to stay in LA, whilst he himself stayed abroad shooting. Movies after movies, never had any relationship with any of the children, ignored their milestone moments in schools, colleges, birthdays, Christmas, thanks giving s, yet he acts like they never existed . Post Separation abuse by a perpetrator
It’s utterly disgusting how trash outlets doing count down of Angelina Jolie to leave USA she’s never said that and as always her words are taken out of context. None of these tabloids know anything especially no sale nothing,just like they never knew Angelina Jolie is in Rafaha near Gaza border with USA delegates for humanitarian aid.
Sad fact is despite since 2016 Brad Pitt made Angelina Jolie buy a house near him, instead he sells his house moved 6 hours away to Carmel-by-the-Sea and had zero relationship with any of the six children he left traumatised suffering from PTSD. Never seen him ever try having any relationship with any of the six.
People Magazine and TMZ are Pitt’s PR mouthpieces they do clickbaiting articles
Well now I feel old and reality has just smacked me in the face 😂 My child was born three weeks after her twins and reading that the twins turn 18 this year. Of course I know how old my child is but seeing in this context makes it feel so real.
I love those stockings with the seam at the back, ooh, sexy!
Doesn’t matter where she decides to live, all I pray is she’s happy , healthy and have a wonderful life with her beloved children
Pitt didn’t move to Carmel! He just wanted to own a Greene & Greene masterpiece so no one else can have it.
He’s so disgusting!!
IIRC there’s an order that AJ has to get his written permission every time one of the minor kids wants to travel out of the USA.
I hope AJ is spending a lot of time with Jonny Lee Miller … which means NYC … but then again that may change when his son turns 18 this year.
