For weeks, speculation swirled online claiming Angelina Jolie was preparing to leave the United States permanently to live in Cambodia, a country she has long cherished through her humanitarian work. Some even accused her of turning her back on America. Now, sources close to the actress are clearing the air — and the truth tells a very different story.
According to a report from TMZ, a member of Jolie’s inner circle says the actress “has no intention of living abroad full-time.” While she does spend meaningful time in Cambodia — where she founded the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation and owns a property — the insider confirms:
“She loves America. If she moves anywhere, it’ll be to New York City — not overseas.”
A Global Humanitarian — With Roots at Home
Jolie’s travels and international projects have often sparked speculation about her long-term plans. Her recent trip to Cambodia to oversee conservation efforts reignited the rumors. But those who know her say her global activism has always been about connection — not separation.
Currently based in Los Angeles, Jolie is managing a growing list of U.S.-centered projects, including her ethical fashion initiative Atelier Jolie, film commitments, and raising her children. Friends describe her as deeply invested in building something lasting in her home country.
“Angelina is proud of the life she’s built here,” another source shared. “Her humanitarian work is global, but her home — and her heart — are still in the U.S.”
Loving a Country Means Wanting It to Be Better
The actress, who has long called herself a “citizen of the world,” has previously spoken about how global engagement and national pride can co-exist.
“I love this country,” she said in a past interview. “I just think loving your country also means wanting it to be better.”
Her approach to patriotism has always been rooted in empathy — a belief that compassion extends beyond borders without weakening one’s connection to home.
Not Leaving — Just Leading
While tabloid headlines painted a dramatic picture, the reality is far simpler: Angelina Jolie isn’t leaving America. She is continuing to do what she has always done — use her platform to advocate, create, and build bridges between communities globally.
Or, as one close friend put it:
“She’s not running from America. She’s running toward what she believes in — and that’s exactly who she’s always been.”
