Empty nester Angelina Jolie trades Hollywood for New England as she 'buys home in Connecticut'… after offloading her historic LA mansion for $25million

Angelina Jolie is leaving Hollywood behind for the East Coast.

The actress, 51, has 'bought an estate in Connecticut' after selling her Los Angeles home in September, according to Page Six Hollywood. 

The star previously said she had to remain in the City of Angels because of her divorce from Brad Pitt, 62, but planned to move when her youngest children, twins Knox and Vivienne, turned 18 in July.

It's not clear what area the new Connecticut home is located in.

Jolie - who was pictured with two of her sons in Los Angeles on Sunday - also owns a property in Manhattan, though she said in 2025 that it's a 'crash pad' for her six children when they're in town. 

The Daily Mail has reached out to Jolie's representative for comment.

Jolie sold her Los Feliz mansion for $24.75 million in September.

She initially purchased the sprawling abode in 2017 for around the same price of $24.5 million following her split from Pitt.

The 11,000-square-foot home, which was previously owned by famed director Cecil B. DeMille, contains six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. 

Jolie's house was snatched up after being on the market for five months, with the Hollywood star putting the residence on the market back in May for nearly $30 million. 

The home, which was built back in 1913, sits on two acres and offers scenic views of the surrounding Hollywood Hills as well as the Griffith Observatory. 

The interior contains a farmhouse style kitchen, a variety of living spaces and a library room. 

The home also has a tea house, a wine cellar, a fitness studio and a laundry room in the basement.

Lush green grass fills the backyard and leads down to a large swimming pool which allows residents to cool down in warmer weather. 

A spacious pool house is nearby while the property itself is also surrounded by tall greenery and trees. 

Jolie's decision to sell the home came as her plans for the next chapter of her life emerged, with her children having moved out.

A source claimed to TMZ that the Maleficent actress planned to leave Los Angeles but had yet to configure a new place to call home. 

The star also reportedly wanted to jump back into some work around the globe, including in Cambodia, where she also owns a residence, per the insider. 

Back in 2024, Jolie sparked speculation that she would eventually leave Los Angeles during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. 

'I grew up in this town. I am here because I have to be here from a divorce, but as soon as they're 18, I'll be able to leave,' the actress told the outlet at the time.

'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.'

Jolie added that after leaving California, she will 'spend a lot of time in Cambodia. I'll spend time visiting my family members wherever they may be in the world.'

During their high-profile 'Brangelina' years, Jolie and Pitt welcomed six children before embarking on a bitter, eight-year divorce battle that was officially finalized in 2024.

Four of their children - Vivienne, Shiloh, 20, Maddox, 25, and Zahara, 21 - have legally dropped Pitt's last name and are reportedly estranged from the actor. Their sons Knox and Pax, 22, have kept the surname for now.

A source previously told the Daily Mail that Brad views the rift with his children as 'deeply painful' and 'believes Angelina's role in how things unfolded is the ultimate betrayal'. 

Jolie and Pitt's marriage ended after a volatile plane incident in 2016 and abuse allegations, which Brad has adamantly denied.

He has also never been charged with a crime and the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services cleared Brad of physical abuse allegations.

Following his bitter divorce, Pitt moved on with jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, 33, whom he's been dating since 2022.
