Angelina Jolie may finally be preparing to leave Los Angeles behind, and according to new reports, the possibility is hitting her father Jon Voight much harder than many expected. The veteran actor is reportedly deeply emotional about the idea of his daughter moving away permanently and fears the decision could further distance their already complicated relationship.
According to reports circulating through entertainment outlets, the 87-year-old actor has been urging Angelina to spend time with him before she potentially leaves California for good. Sources claim Voight is struggling emotionally with the thought that once Angelina relocates, he may rarely see her or his grandchildren again.
An insider quoted in reports claimed Jon feels the move is especially painful because the father-daughter relationship remains fragile despite years of attempting reconciliation. The source suggested that while the two do not speak or meet frequently, Voight still consistently reaches out through birthday messages, holiday wishes, and inquiries about Angelina’s children in hopes of eventually rebuilding a closer bond.
The situation reportedly became even more sensitive after Voight publicly commented on Angelina’s long-running divorce battle with Brad Pitt in 2024. Reports suggest those remarks further strained communication between the two, whose relationship has experienced years of public ups and downs dating back decades.
Rumours about Angelina leaving Los Angeles first intensified after an interview she gave in 2024, where she openly admitted she was remaining in the city largely because of legal and family obligations connected to her divorce proceedings. During that conversation, the actress suggested she eventually hopes to spend much more time abroad once her youngest children become adults.
Angelina specifically mentioned wanting greater privacy, peace, and safety for her family outside Los Angeles. She also spoke emotionally about feeling more connected to humanity and simplicity in other parts of the world compared to the environment she grew up around in Hollywood. The actress particularly referenced Cambodia, a country she has long shared a deep personal connection with through humanitarian work and family life.
The timing of the reports has drawn attention because Angelina’s twins, Knox and Vivienne, are set to turn 18 later this year. Once that happens, many of the custody-related limitations tied to her divorce situation would effectively disappear, potentially giving her more freedom to relocate internationally if she chooses.
Fueling the speculation even further, Angelina has reportedly listed her historic California estate for nearly $30 million. The property, once owned by legendary filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille, has been one of her primary homes while raising her children in Los Angeles.
Angelina and Brad Pitt’s divorce has remained one of Hollywood’s longest and most publicly discussed separations since the couple split in 2016 after two years of marriage. Together, they share six children — Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne. Over the years, the legal battle reportedly impacted nearly every aspect of Angelina’s life, including where she could live while raising the children.
The emotional complexity surrounding Jon Voight’s reaction also comes from the pair’s long and difficult history. Angelina and Voight were estranged for several years before reportedly reconciling around 2010, partly encouraged by Brad Pitt at the time. Despite political differences and years of family tension, the two had slowly attempted to rebuild communication over the last decade and a half.
Angelina previously acknowledged in interviews that Voight had made efforts to be present as a grandfather during difficult periods for the family. However, their relationship has never fully escaped the emotional scars tied to Angelina’s childhood and the highly publicized split between Voight and her late mother Marcheline Bertrand. Marcheline divorced Voight when Angelina was very young, reportedly after allegations of infidelity, and later passed away after battling cancer.
For now, Angelina herself has not officially confirmed any final relocation plans. But between her comments about leaving Los Angeles, her property listing, and her long-stated desire to spend more time internationally, many believe a major life change may indeed be approaching for the Oscar-winning actress. Meanwhile, reports suggest Jon Voight is simply hoping he gets the chance to reconnect with his daughter before that next chapter begins.
