Angelina Jolie is reportedly gearing up for a major life shift as the New Year approaches, and sources say she is excited about plans to move abroad. An insider revealed that Jolie has been considering
a change of scenery and is looking forward to beginning 2026 in a new location.
The source, who spoke to People, said Jolie has been thinking about relocating for some time and that the idea of living in another country has appealed to her for both personal and family reasons. “She’s ready for a life that isn’t centered in Los Angeles,” the source said. They added, “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.”
Angelina Jolie’s 2026 move
Jolie, 49, has long balanced her Hollywood career with a deep interest in international causes, humanitarian work, and world cultures. Over the years, she has travelled extensively for both professional projects and personal commitments. She is reportedly waiting for her twins, Knox and Viviene, to turn 18, which they will in July 2026, and then she will move abroad for good.
While specific details about where Jolie might move have not been confirmed, those close to her say she is at a point where a new setting could offer renewed energy and focus. The report also claimed that Jolie never wanted to stay in LA full-time but had to because of Brad Pitt. “She didn’t have a choice because of the custody arrangement with Brad [Pitt],” the insider explained.
Jolie has been in the public eye for decades, admired both for her film career and her advocacy work. She has also navigated intense media scrutiny surrounding her personal life, including her high-profile split from Brad Pitt and their ongoing co-parenting arrangements. The former couple share six kids together- Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 17.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt divorce
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s divorce was one of Hollywood’s most prolonged and closely watched separations. Jolie first filed for divorce in September 2016 after 12 years together and two years of marriage. After nearly eight years of legal wrangling, the couple finally reached a divorce settlement in December 2024. The split involved complex negotiations over assets, custody of their six children, and their shared properties, including Château Miraval.
According to Page Six, Jolie submitted a declaration to the court that read, “The events leading to my need to separate from my ex-husband were emotionally difficult for me and our children. Upon filing for divorce, I left him control (and full residency) of our family homes in Los Angeles and at Miraval, without compensation, which I hoped would make him calmer in his dealings with me after a difficult and traumatic period.”
