Angelina Jolie is making strides toward her long-held aspiration of relocating from the United States to the more serene environments of Europe and Cambodia.

Seeking greater privacy, the 50-year-old actress and humanitarian is in the process of selling her $25 million Cecil B. DeMille estate in Los Feliz, where she has been residing with her six children since 2017. This information was shared with Page Six by sources familiar with the matter.

Jolie’s future plans involve splitting her time between New York, where she operates her boutique and artist-centered workshop, Atelier Jolie, and her residences in Europe and Cambodia. She has had a home in Cambodia since 2003, following her adoption of her eldest son, Maddox.

According to Jae Benjamin, an actor, producer, and long-time associate of Jolie, she is seeking distance from the turmoil of her current environment. “The only way to truly take a break is to leave it behind,” Benjamin shared with Page Six.

Benjamin further elaborated, “She intends to spend time rejuvenating, focusing solely on projects that resonate with her heart, soul, and passions. She is a remarkable, talented, and generous individual.”

Jolie – who wants a fresh start that doesn’t revolve around living in the US or her messy divorce from Brad PItt – renovated and restored the 2.1-acre property named after the legendary Hollywood director who first lived there. It features a main mansion and grounds with gardens, pool and studio.

She has been showing the property around to potential buyers, a source recently told People.

The ‘drama’ that her friend mentioned has much to do with her bitter break-up from ex-husband Pitt, 62.

‘Being through what she’s been through with Brad, having their whole life being in the limelight and all the years of it … the only way to take a break is to get out,’ Benjamin relayed to Page Six.

‘It’s hard to be in a town where you can’t even turn your head and see someone you don’t know,’ he reasoned.

The exes finally settled their divorce on December 30, 2024 after eight years of legal wrangling – though they are still battling over their French winery Chateau Miraval.

Jolie has admittedly been itching to leave Los Angeles where she has been forced to live until all six of her children with Brad turned 18.

The Tomb Raider star and the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor are parents to three adopted children, Maddox, 24, born in Cambodia, Pax, 22, born in Vietnam, and Zahara, 20, born in Ethiopia, and three biological children, Shiloh, 19, born in Namibia, and 17-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, born in Nice, France.

When Vivienne and Knox turn 18 on July 12, Jolie will be free to cut ties from the City of Angels.

‘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,’ Jolie told The Hollywood Reporter in 2024.

She previously told People that she ‘never wanted to live in L.A. full time,’ but remained there for the sake of her younger children.

In a 2021 interview with British Vogue, the Oscar-winner said she bought her Loz Feliz estate because ‘I wanted it to be close to their dad, who is only five minutes away.’

Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016 following a heated encounter aboard a private jet bound for Los Angeles from France. She accused the A-lister of injuring her and choking one of their children, all of which he denied.

The FBI conducted a review and closed their investigation with no charges against Pitt, and the Department of Child and Family Services also determined there was no finding of abuse.

Reports indicate the children have sided with Jolie, who has been their primary caregiver.

Shiloh officially filed to drop ‘Pitt’ from her last name on her 18th birthday on May 27, 2024; Zahara introduced herself as Zahara Marley Jolie for her sorority induction at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia; and Vivienne credited herself as Vivienne Jolie on the Playbill for The Outsiders, a Broadway production she worked on with her mom.

Now, Jolie is looking ahead to a life without constraints.

‘She’s ready for a life that isn’t centered in Los Angeles,’ a source told People. ‘She’s looking forward to 2026 and the flexibility she’ll have then.’

Jolie is reportedly considering splitting her time between Cambodia, France, and parts of Africa.

Cambodia, where she adopted her eldest son Maddox in 2002, is expected to be a primary base.

”They’re all very special places,’ the source told People. ‘She has dear friends in those areas who she considers confidantes and family.’
