Angelina Jolie is reportedly considering stepping away from Hollywood and leaving the United States once all of her children reach adulthood. According to a source quoted by OK Magazine, Jolie has been planning this move for some time, with her intention to relocate to a new country where she and her children can experience a different lifestyle. Currently, her children are at varying stages of adulthood: Maddox is 23, Pax is 20, Zahara is 19, Shiloh is 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne are 16. The plan to move will hinge on when the youngest, Knox and Vivienne, turn 18, allowing Jolie the flexibility to leave the US and immerse her family in a more global lifestyle.
Jolie has been known for her global travels, with a career that has often taken her to different parts of the world, especially through her work with the United Nations and as a humanitarian. However, in 2024, she focused much of her time producing The Outsiders on Broadway, a project that kept her rooted in the US for a longer stretch than usual. Despite this, the actor has expressed that her happiest moments come when she and her children travel and live in various parts of the world. According to the source, "She was happiest when she and the children traveled and lived in various locations, soaking up the culture, learning from local tutors, and experiencing different ways of life."
Jolie's desire to provide her children with a more international upbringing aligns with her own values. The source further elaborated that she wants her children to be free to follow their passions and live wherever they choose, encouraging them to explore their interests outside the confines of American life. It's also notable that all of her children, including her biological ones, were born outside the United States, which gives her even more of an inclination to raise them in diverse environments.
In terms of her professional life, Jolie has continued to impress critics with her work, particularly her performance in Maria, where she has received glowing reviews for her portrayal in the role. Meanwhile, her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, has been busy with his own projects, notably starring alongside his longtime friend George Clooney in the comedy-thriller Wolfs. While both Jolie and Pitt have moved on from their marriage, their careers and public images continue to make waves, with each exploring different avenues and creative pursuits.
As for Jolie's future in Hollywood, her exit plan is still up in the air, but it is clear that her children and their well-being are a central part of her decision-making. With her desire to give them a broader, more worldly education, it’s not surprising that she is considering a life outside the traditional boundaries of Hollywood.
