ANGELINA Jolie has splashed out on a $25 million (£20million) mansion in Los Angeles “to be closer” to ex-husband Brad Pitt.

The 41-year-old actress – who surprised fans when she filed for divorce from the Fight Club star last year – has bought the historic Cecil B. DeMille estate in the Laughlin Park enclave of Los Feliz, which is just under two miles from Brad.

According to 

TMZ, Angelina’s huge offer on the the six-bedroom, 10 bathroom home has been accepted.

This means that Hollywood actress will be able to call the likes of Natalie Portman, will.i.am, Casey Affleck and Ellen Pompeo her neighbours in the near future.

New reports in the 

Sunday Mirror reveal the actress wants to live close to Brad so their children can visit him easily.

A source said: “Angie is interested in moving closer so it will be easier for the kids to see Brad. She lives in Malibu, a long commute for the kids.”

The move comes after Brad revealed he wasn’t able to stay in his home in Los Feliz after their split.

He said: “It was too sad to be here at first, so I stayed on a friend’s floor.”

The former home of the legendary Hollywood mogul is a 2.1 acre property which features a detached garage house, a pool house with a fitness room and a spacious guest house.

The new buy comes after Angelina moved out of the palatial mansion she shared with her ex Brad in another part of Los Feliz.

The ‘Maleficent’ star filed for divorce from her husband – whom she had been in a relationship with since 2004, and married to since 2014 – on September 19, citing “irreconcilable differences”.
Earlier this year, Brad, 52 and Angelina – who have children Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twin Knox and Vivienne – reached an agreement to resolve their divorce and custody dispute in private.

“The parents are committed to act as a united front to effectuate recovery and reunification.”
The former couple owned a huge portfolio of property together, including a mansion in New Orleans, which they sold in October and their French estate Chateau Miraval, where they tied the knot.
