Angelina Jolie is reportedly preparing for a significant new chapter in her life. With her youngest children, twins Knox and Vivienne, approaching their 18th birthday, the Oscar-winning actress is said to be considering a move overseas and a return to the dating scene, years after her high-profile split from Brad Pitt. The 50-year-old has largely kept her personal life private in recent years, dedicating herself to raising her six children, but insiders suggest that is now beginning to change.According to RadarOnline, the move abroad is already being carefully considered as Jolie looks toward life beyond full-time motherhood.
Angelina Jolie’s reported plans to move overseas
“Angelina’s devotion to her kids is no act. She has been a hands-on mom for decades now,” the outlet reported. With her children becoming adults, however, the actress is now said to be thinking about what the next phase of her life looks like.“The move overseas is being carefully planned to finally give Angelina some time to herself to figure out what the next part of her life is going to be,” the insider said. “Time alone is going to be important, but of course, she’d also like to find a new partner to share the next chapter in her life, preferably someone who’s not an actor.”Although Jolie has not yet decided on a specific destination, sources say she hopes that time away from Hollywood will give her the space to focus on herself and explore new opportunities.
Why Angelina Jolie is looking for a partner outside the entertainment industry
Having previously been in relationships with fellow actors including Brad Pitt, Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton, Jolie is said to be looking for something different this time around. “She’s had these very intense relationships with other actors for most of her adult life, and she has misgivings about doing that again,” the report revealed.Report also noted that Jolie’s standards remain high. “They are not going to change and she wants to be with somebody of similar means and resources. If she has to wait to find a partner who can fit in with her lifestyle, she’s willing to wait.”
Are Angelina Jolie and Louis Garrel more than friends?
The overseas move speculation comes alongside reports of a possible connection with French actor and filmmaker Louis Garrel. The two shared screen space in the 2025 French film ‘Couture’, written and directed by Alice Winocour, in which Jolie plays a woman working in fashion who receives a terrifying medical diagnosis amid her divorce. The film is set for release in the US on June 26, 2026.Following the film’s release, Jolie and Garrel were spotted having dinner together, sparking rumours of a romance. While those rumours were initially played down, with sources previously describing the pair as simply good friends, the situation has since become more complicated. Reports from late 2025 indicated that Garrel and his wife Laetitia Casta had separated, and more recent sources have hinted at Jolie enjoying her time in Europe, with one insider noting she was treated with “respect and dignity that is in short supply in L.A.“Nothing has been officially confirmed between the two, but the combination of their on-screen chemistry, shared time in Europe and subsequent social outings has kept speculation very much alive.
