Academy Award-winning actress Angelina Jolie reveals her plans to relocate from Los Angeles once her youngest children, 16-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, turn 18. The decision stems from her desire to provide her large family with greater privacy and a more humane environment.
Angelina Jolie's decision to leave Los Angeles once her children reach adulthood underscores her priority for their well-being and her own search for a more fulfilling life. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jolie opened up about her personal life, touching on her children's happiness and her ongoing divorce from actor Brad Pitt.

Despite having spent most of her life in Los Angeles, Jolie admits that she only remains there due to legal obligations related to her divorce. "But as soon as they're 18, I'll be able to leave," she said, referring to Vivienne and Knox.
Jolie, known for her charitable work and advocacy for peace and humanitarian crises, emphasized the importance of privacy and safety for her children. "When you have a big family, you want them to have privacy, peace, safety. I have a house now to raise my children, but sometimes this place can be… that humanity that I found across the world is not what I grew up with here."

"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's divorce from Pitt, filed in September 2016 after two years of marriage, has been contentious. While she declined to discuss specifics, she emphasized her commitment to ensuring her children's well-being.
