Angelina Jolie plans to spend significantly more time outside the United States and adopt a nomadic lifestyle as her youngest children enter adulthood, according to an interview with the magazine L’Officiel published in September 2026. The 51-year-old Oscar-winning actress stated that the transition marks the end of a specific chapter in her life, noting that she does not currently plan to maintain a fixed home base.
The timing of Jolie’s lifestyle shift coincides with her youngest children, twins Knox and Vivienne, turning 18 in July 2026. Jolie told L’Officiel that she is proud of her children for charting their own paths and emphasized that a mother’s role includes avoiding standing in their way.
Real Estate Shifts and International Focus
The decision to travel follows years of hints that Jolie intended to leave the Los Angeles area. In May 2026, market reports confirmed that her historic Los Angeles estate in Los Feliz—a property previously owned by legendary filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille—was listed for sale at $29.85 million.
Rather than settling in a single domestic alternative like New York, Jolie intends to divide her time globally. Her future plans center heavily on Cambodia, where she aims to expand her ongoing philanthropic foundation work. Additionally, she plans to scale up her fashion venture, Atelier Jolie, internationally, with Brazil under consideration as the brand’s first location outside the United States. These ventures will involve traveling to various countries to collaborate directly with local artists, artisans, and craftspeople.
Personal Pursuits and Family Support
Alongside her international humanitarian and business projects, Jolie stated an intention to return to personal interests, including motorcycle riding and piloting aircraft. According to the actress, her children fully support the change. She noted that while her children needed her constant presence during their younger years, they now encourage her to explore the world independently.
