Angelina Jolie leaves LA to spend more private life?

Angelina Jolie is preparing to leave Los Angeles as she planned a more private life abroad once her younger children reach adulthood.

According to reports, Angelina is about to sell her Los Feliz estate, valued at $25 million, with the intention of dividing her time between Europe, Cambodia and New York.

She has planned to spend her time in New York, place where she operates her creative space Atelier Jolie. She also planned to live in Cambodia, her home town since 2003.

Actor and producer Jae Benjamin, described as a longtime friend, he noted, “she can’t get far enough away from the drama … the only way to take a break is to get out”. He added that Jolie planned to focus on projects that align with her personal interests.

Jolie has previously said she remained in Los Angeles for her children following her divorce from Brad Pitt, which was finalised on December 30 2024.

On the otherhand, she has live on her  Los Feliz property also known as the Cecil B. DeMille estate, with her six children since 2017. Sources cited in reports say she has already begun showing the home to potential buyers.

She shares six children with Pitt: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox, who are currently 17. In a 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jolie said, “I am here because I have to be here from a divorce, but as soon as they’re 18, I’ll be able to leave”.

Although the divorce has been settled, Jolie and Pitt continue to be involved in legal proceedings related to their Château Miraval winery. In December, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ordered Jolie to provide unredacted communications connected to the dispute.
