Angelina Jolie is putting down roots. After selling her historic mansion in Los Angeles and concluding a long chapter in her and her family's life, Jolie has reportedly swapped coasts.

DeMille purchased the home in 1916 and lived there until his death in 1959.

As reported by Page Six, Jolie is settling in Connecticut, a state that also houses other notorious celebrities, including Meryl Streep and Michael J. Fox. It provides a much lower profile for Jolie, who's used to spending plenty of time in major cities like Los Angeles, where her kids have lived for most of their lives, and New York.

Jolie and her kids used to live in a mansion in Los Angeles with a deep Hollywood history. The home was once owned by Cecil B. DeMille, a famous producer and director, and has been the home of Jolie and her family ever since her divorce from Brad Pitt.

The home has 10 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, and was sold for $24.75 million.

Long before Angelina Jolie called it home, the estate was the residence of filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille, pictured here on a postcard from around 1923. Madonna is reportedly its latest owner.

Jolie's desire to leave LA

While several of Jolie's children seem settled in and happy in Los Angeles, including Shiloh, who's frequently photographed attending dance classes, and Knox, who visits his Muay Thai gym regularly, Jolie has been discussing moving out of the city for years.

“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,” she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2024. “When you have a big family, you want them to have privacy, peace, safety.”

On that occasion, Jolie made it clear that she plans of spending time abroad and moving around to visit her different family members. “I’ll spend a lot of time in Cambodia,” she said. “I’ll spend time visiting my family members wherever they may be in the world.”

Jolie and Pitt finalized their divorce in 2024, but have been apart since 2016. In past opportunities, she's opened up about her love life and her decision to focus on raising her kids. “To be candid, I haven’t dated since I divorced a decade ago,” she told Yahoo Entertainment.

“So I kind of get in my head that that aspect of me is not centered in my life if I’m focusing on my children, my family."
