After her youngest two children, 17-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, turn 18 next summer, Angelina Jolie plans to leave Los Angeles and move abroad.
In preparation for that, Jolie is making improvements to her historic estate so that she can eventually list it for sale.
Jolie bought the property in 2017, one year after she filed for divorce from ex-husband Brad Pitt, with whom she shares six children.
The youngest of Angelina Jolie’s six children—twins Knox and Vivienne—are nearly 18, and after they become adults, Jolie is likely to move abroad. In preparation for that, People reported that the actress is getting her historic home ready for sale and is “eyeing several locations abroad” to move to after she leaves Los Angeles. A rep for Jolie did not immediately respond to InStyle's request for comment.
Jolie first purchased the home in 2017 and has been living there “because of the custody arrangement” with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, a source told the outlet. Page Six was the first to report that Jolie planned to list the estate for sale, and the source speaking to People added that Jolie “never wanted to live in L.A. full time. She didn’t have a choice.” (Jolie and Pitt share six children: Maddox, 24, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 17.)

As soon as the twins turn 18 in the summer of 2026, Jolie “plans to relocate,” the source added. “She’ll be very happy when she’s able to leave Los Angeles.”
Some improvements are needed to the home, which the insider added is “a historic masterpiece and truly such a beautiful estate.” The home is a 1913 build, and Jolie purchased the property 104 years later for $24.5 million. The home has six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms across 11,000 square feet.
Jolie herself previously told The Hollywood Reporter in 2024 that she still lived in L.A. “because I have to be here from a divorce.” (Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016, the year before she purchased her home.)

“When you have a big family, you want them to have privacy, peace, safety,” Jolie told the publication. “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.”

While it’s unknown where Jolie plans to go exactly after she leaves L.A., she did previously say, “I’ll spend a lot of time in Cambodia”—which is where she adopted her eldest son Maddox from in 2002. She said at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in February that the country is the one place “in my heart” that she considers her home, per People.
“I’ll spend time visiting my family members wherever they may be in the world,” Jolie previously said of her future plans.
