Angelina initially moved to the home to be closer to Pitt, with whom she shares six kids. An insider had previously told PEOPLE Angelina “never wanted to live in L.A. full time," but she "didn't have a choice because of the custody arrangement with Brad [Pitt]."

After their bitter divorce and very loud signs that things are not going well between the kids and Brad, like Shiloh dropping his last name, once the twins turn 18, nothing is holding them back.
Where is she moving?

They noted that she'll be "very happy" when she's able to leave Los Angeles and is "ready for a life that isn't centered" in the famous city.
But that doesn't mean shes saying goodbye to the industry, "There are a lot of projects she's excited about, and she's feeling good," they added. "She's looking forward to 2026 and the flexibility she'll have then."
Angelina's past comments about the US

Angelina called it a "very difficult question” before responding, “I love my country, but at this time, I don’t recognize my country." “I’ve always lived internationally, my family is international, my friends, my life.”
“My worldview is equal, united, and international. Anything anywhere that divides or limits personal expressions and freedoms from anyone, I think, is very dangerous," she added.
“These are such serious times that we have to be careful not to say things casually,” Angelina continued. “These are very, very heavy times we are living in together.”
