According to new reports, the well-known actress Angelina Jolie is considering leaving the United States to establish her home abroad.

According to sources close to the actress cited by People magazine, Jolie “never wanted to live in Los Angeles full-time,” but “had no other option due to the custody agreement with Brad.” That legal tie will disappear in a matter of months. Her twins, Knox and Vivienne, the youngest of her six children, will turn 18 on July 12, freeing the actress to chart her own course. “She is considering several destinations abroad,” the source added. “She will be very happy when she can leave Los Angeles,” the magazine report reads. Everything indicates that the decision is linked to her role as a mother. In a 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jolie explained her main motivation: “When you have a large family, you want them to have privacy, peace, and security.” The actress contrasted life in the United States with the experiences she has had in other cultures. “Now I have a home to raise my children, but sometimes this place can be… that humanity I found on the other side of the world isn't what I found here growing up,” she reflected. Among the possible destinations is Cambodia, given the actress's connection to the country. Jolie adopted her firstborn son, Maddox, in the Asian nation in 2002, a life-changing experience. “Cambodia was the country that made me aware of the plight of refugees,” she explained to Vogue India.

“It spurred me to become involved in foreign affairs like never before and to join UNHCR. Above all, it made me a mother.”

The star recalled the exact moment she knew her life would change: “In 2001, I was at a school program in Samlout playing with blocks on the floor with a toddler and, with unmistakable clarity, I thought: 'My son is here.' A few months later, I met baby Mad in an orphanage. I can't explain it… But it was real and clear.” However, Jolie's international ties are not limited to Cambodia. In addition to Maddox, she adopted Zahara (from Ethiopia) and Pax (from Vietnam) during her relationship with Pitt,with whom she also shares her biological children: Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox. This multicultural family shaped her worldview. "I have always lived internationally; my family is international, my friends, my life... My worldview is egalitarian, united, and international," she stated. This global perspective is also accompanied by a growing critical distance from the situation in her native country. In September, during the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain, Jolie made statements that resonated strongly: "I love my country, but at this moment I don't recognize it." He warned about the dangers of division: "Anything, anywhere, that divides or limits someone's personal expressions and freedoms, I think is very dangerous. These are such serious times... We are living through very, very difficult times together."
