Last month, we reported that the Oscar-winning Hollywood star Angelina Jolie was preparing to flee America after her bitter eight year divorce battle with Brad Pitt finally ended. Now, Jolie has been spotted “house-hunting” in London, England as she goes about making this international move.
Jolie House-Hunting In London
Jolie, 50, began filming the movie Anxious People earlier this month. It turns out that this production has taken her to London. There, she’s already started looking at homes to potentially live in longterm.
“Angelina is in London filming a movie and one of the first things she did when she got there was get in touch with a real estate agent to start showing her properties,” said an insider close to Jolie.
The source went on to say that Jolie “has a lot of friends” in the British capital. Indeed, it seems that both Jolie and her oldest son Maddox, 24, “love London.” The insider also claimed that they see it as being a “quick trip” to New York City, where Jolie’s fashion venture Atelier Jolie is based.
“She also loves Paris and that’s another option, but right now London is the frontrunner,” the source explained.
Jolie Eager To Flee America
This comes one month after insiders claimed Jolie is preparing to move abroad. Though she filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016, their divorce wasn’t finalized until December of 2024. Now that their youngest children are turning 18 next year, Jolie will finally be free to leave the country as she wishes.
Jolie and Pitt, 61, are parents to six children: Maddox, 24, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 17.
In anticipation of the twins’ 18th birthday, Jolie is already preparing to sell her Los Angeles mansion. She currently lives in the iconic Cecil B. DeMille estate located in the ritzy Los Feliz neighborhood. The Girl Interrupted star purchased this home back in 2017.
“She hasn’t officially put the house on the market, but unofficially it’s available. Ideally she’d like to do an off market sale anyway,” the source concluded. “She’s getting her ducks in a row because the moment Knox and Viv turn 18 she’ll be leaving town for good. She can’t wait.”
Jolie Is Only Still In L.A. Because Of Her ‘Divorce’
Jolie was born and raised in Los Angeles as the daughter of the Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight. Despite this, she has long been open about her eagerness to flee Hollywood and live abroad. Last year, Jolie told The Hollywood Reporter that she was only still in Los Angeles “because I have to be here from a divorce.”
As for where she planned to go, Jolie said in that interview, “I’ll spend time visiting my family members wherever they may be in the world.”
Should Jolie move to England, she wouldn’t be the only American celebrity to do so. The former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, 67, and her wife Portia de Rossi of Arrested Development fame fled to England after Donald Trump won the presidential election back in November.
While it seems like politics have little-to-nothing to do with Jolie’s desire to leave the country, she certainly seems determined to get out of America. Only time will tell how that turns out going for Angelina Jolie!
