Angelina Jolie‘s long-discussed plans to leave the United States have reportedly run into an unexpected obstacle.

The Oscar winner is said to be eager for a fresh start overseas once her youngest children become adults, but finding the right moment has proven more complicated than expected.

As Angelina Jolie continues balancing family priorities with life after her lengthy divorce from Brad Pitt, new reports suggest Los Angeles’ frustrating housing market is making her planned exit far more difficult than she anticipated.

Angelina Jolie Planned Fresh Start Around Her Twins’ Milestone

Angelina Jolie has been counting down to a major milestone as twins Knox and Vivienne approach their 18th birthday, a moment that would finally allow her to relocate with all six of the children she shares with Brad Pitt.

The actress has previously spoken about wanting to split her time between Cambodia and New York, viewing the move as the beginning of a new chapter after years of legal battles.

However, those plans have run into an unexpected obstacle. The Los Feliz estate she listed for nearly $30 million remains on the market, with the slower Los Angeles housing market reportedly delaying the sale.

While the property has not stopped Jolie from leaving, it has complicated the clean break she had hoped to make. According to The Daily Mail, sources said the unsold mansion has become another frustrating reminder that closing one chapter is proving harder than expected. In the insider’s words:

“Angelina is smart, she knew it would take a while to sell the property even though it is gorgeous and legendary, because the housing market has slowed in Los Angeles, but it still is annoying.”

Cambodia Remains The Destination Closest To The Actress’ Heart

Despite these, those close to her said Jolie has firmly decided she will go ahead when the time is right, believing the move will be an opportunity to put behind painful memories and start her new life in a place that she feels is more peaceful for herself and her family.

Although the delayed home sale has slowed her timeline, the actress’ long-term vision reportedly has not changed. Cambodia remains the place she hopes to spend much of her time, while New York is expected to serve as her professional base because of her business interests and close friendships.

The relocation has reportedly been years in the making, with the milestone of Jolie’s youngest children reaching adulthood opening the door to greater flexibility after years of custody restrictions.

Rather than viewing the move as simply a change of address, it has increasingly been described as the beginning of a fresh phase centered on privacy, family, and a quieter life away from Los Angeles.

Angelina Jolie’s Father Jon Voight Is Reportedly Heartbroken Over The Relocation

Jolie’s decision to leave Los Angeles has reportedly taken an emotional toll on her father, actor Jon Voight, who fears their strained relationship may never fully heal. Sources say the two have had limited contact for years, despite Voight’s continued efforts to stay connected through birthday and holiday messages.

Over the decades, their relationship has had its share of public squabbles, including remarks Voight made about her mental health, which resulted in her legally dropping his surname. Political reasons reportedly have exacerbated the division, with Voight’s public backing of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump pitting him against Jolie’s humanitarian efforts.

According to reports, the veteran actor remains hopeful they can eventually rebuild their bond, despite years of distance and only occasional contact through birthday and holiday messages, according to The Blast.

Inside Jolie’s Costly Legal Battle With Pitt

Jolie’s financial situation has reportedly grown more strained amid her ongoing legal dispute with ex-husband Brad Pitt. Their feud centers on Château Miraval, the French winery Jolie sold her stake in back in 2021, a decision Pitt has since contested in court.

The protracted legal battle has been hugely expensive, and one of the sources likened the money spent as being poured down the drain. In order to cover the ongoing legal costs, Jolie has reportedly had to sell off a number of personal belongings, such as jewelry, artwork, and a vintage car.

Despite her successful acting career, sources suggest Jolie isn’t as financially secure as many assume, as reported by The Blast.

Angelina Jolie Opens Up About Her Life After Brad Pitt

Nearly a decade after her divorce, Angelina Jolie is offering rare insight into her personal life. The actress admitted she hasn’t dated since splitting from Brad Pitt, explaining that she’s kept her focus centered on her children and family instead.

Jolie shared that playing a mother balancing love and motherhood in her new film gave her a fresh perspective on the two coexisting. She said she’s beginning to feel ready to “live again” and “be free again,” according to Yahoo Entertainment.

The actress credited her daughters for helping her reconnect with her old self, noting they encourage her to step outside the role of “Mom.”

With her fighting spirit returning, could Angelina Jolie finally be ready to open her heart again?
