Angelina Jolie is reportedly planning to leave Hollywood once her children are all grown up. The actress, who shares six kids with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, has expressed her desire to step away from Los Angeles in favor of a quieter, more private life.
Jolie’s children—Maddox (23), Pax (20), Zahara (19), Shiloh (18), and twins Knox and Vivienne (16)—are at different stages of adulthood, and the actress wants to focus on their growth and well-being before making any major moves. A source close to Jolie revealed that she plans to relocate when her children are independent, as she has always prioritized their safety and privacy.
The decision comes from Jolie’s desire for peace and a return to her love of travel. "When you have a big family, you want them to have privacy, peace, safety," Jolie said in a recent interview, reflecting on her experiences traveling the world and the values she gained from them. She feels those qualities are lacking in her current environment and wants to find a place where her family can experience more tranquility.
Throughout this year, Jolie has spent a significant amount of time in New York City working on the Broadway production of The Outsiders. She has always had a deep love for exploring new cultures and is happiest when traveling, especially while exposing her children to diverse cultures and perspectives. A source mentioned that Jolie enjoys having her children learn from local tutors and gain unique cultural experiences during their travels.
Once her children have settled into their own paths, Jolie plans to resume her adventures, particularly reconnecting with friends in Europe. She hopes her children will find their passions and carve their own unique journeys. Notably, all of her children were born outside of the United States, which aligns with her desire to expose them to a broader world.
Jolie's potential move is also fueled by her ongoing tension with Brad Pitt. While professional commitments, including the attention surrounding her upcoming film Maria, have kept her in Los Angeles, sources suggest she is eager to distance herself from Pitt. Reports suggest that her recent public presence in the city has been a point of tension with him. Pitt, known for his visibility during award season through his production company Plan B, is said to be feeling overshadowed by Jolie’s strong presence.
Jolie’s future appears to be focused on finding more peace and fulfillment, with a return to her travel adventures and a life centered around her children’s needs and her own personal growth. Her departure from Los Angeles marks a desire to prioritize privacy over the Hollywood spotlight.
