As expected, it will be a major fit for Jolie. “She is happy that they are making their own lives and she will of course come back to the United States to visit them,” the source added. “But it’s still going to be a huge adjustment. She’s very emotional about it.”

Jolie previously hinted at her desire to leave Los Angeles, saying The Hollywood Reporter in August 2024, that she was actually only living there “because I have to be here after a divorce.” Jolie then referenced Vivienne and Knox, saying she “might leave” once they turn 18.

That time has now officially come and Jolie is ready to pack her bags and move abroad. It’s not yet clear where she plans to live, but she said The Official she wants to spend more time “outside the United States.”

“I’m not really planning on having a base. I’d like to have a base for my family, a place for some of Mom’s things and the family photos,” she explained. “And then I would like to be a little nomadic for a while. My house in Cambodia will also be a residence for Khmer culture for a few months a year.”

The Oscar winner seems confident about leaving the United States and her children are deeply worried, according to RadarOnline. “It’s something she’s wanted for so long, and they’re very happy for her, but that doesn’t stop them from being quite worried about it,” a source told the outlet.

“She plans to return full steam ahead to her riskier passions: her motorcycle, flying, working on the ground in conflict zones.” And even though her children support her, there is still a level of worry.

“She’s their mother. Of course, they’re going to worry about her. They’ll never tell her not to pursue her passions. In fact, they encourage her to travel as far as she needs, but they want safeguards and promises from her that she’ll take precautions.”

Jolie reportedly “swore up and down” that she would be reasonable. But “the reality is that with the things she wants to do – and the places she wants to go – risk is inherent. She has a lot to do and see. This next chapter is going to be very busy.”
