The mother-of-six has admitted that she needs to put down roots wherever the actor is based, as he wants to maintain a close relationship with their children.

Jolie opened up about the difficult situation during a recent interview with US Harper’s Bazaar, explaining that she has had to put her dreams on hold for the time being.

“I would love to live abroad and will do so as soon as my children are 18,” the 44-year-old revealed. “Right now, I’m having to base where their father chooses to live.”

The silver screen star didn’t spill details on exactly where she’d like to live but that may simply be because she has yet to tick it from her list.

“My favourite place is somewhere I’ve never been. I like to be dropped into the middle of something new,” Jolie continued. “I enjoy being out of my element. I want the children to grow up in the world – not just learning about it but living it and having friends around the world.”

Her family have finally “broken ground” on a property in Africa and are already proud owners of a home in Cambodia – somewhere which holds a special place in Jolie’s heart. 

“We got a call the other day informing us that chipmunks have moved into the house,” she revealed.

“They asked if we should remove them and Vivienne was very clear that we needed to cover the wires and let them stay. However, the local snakes may have their own opinion on that. The last time I stayed there, I heard screaming down the hall because a friend had found a giant lizard under their pillow. Clearly, the animals are there more than I am and they feel it is their home.”

The actress first visited the nation to film 2001 hit Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and later adopted her eldest son, Madodox, from Cambodia. 

Jolie and Pitt famously called it quits in September 2016 having two years of marriage.

“I am very saddened by this but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids,” Pitt said in a statement. “I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time.”
