Actress Angelina Jolie is preparing for a major life change — one that could take her far from Hollywood. She revealed that she’s been waiting for her children to reach 18 before making the long-considered move abroad. “I love my country, but at this time, I don’t recognize my country,” Jolie said, explaining her decision. She added, “My worldview is equal, united and international. Anything anywhere that divides or limits personal expressions and freedoms from anyone, I think, is very dangerous.”

Waiting for the Right Time

Jolie, a mother of six, explained that her children have always been at the center of her life decisions. By waiting until they turned 18, she ensured they would have the maturity and independence to make their own choices about where and how they want to live.

Sources close to the actress suggest that the move has been years in the making. Known for raising her family with a strong international perspective — and for her extensive humanitarian work across continents — Jolie has long maintained homes and deep connections outside of the United States.
