However, the couple and their children, Maddox, nine, Pax, six, Zahara, five, Shiloh, four, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, will continue to use their Los Angeles home as their base.
Meanwhile, the 'Changeling' actress has visited the victims of flooding in Pakistan in a bid to draw attention to the disaster - which has killed 1,500 people and affected a further 20 million.
After meeting survivors of the devastation, she said: "I am very moved by them and I hope that I am able to do something to help bring attention to the situation for all the people in need in Pakistan.
"This is not just a humanitarian crisis, it is an economic and social catastrophe."
Discussing what she saw when she visited homes affected by the floods, she said: "There are people displaced by the floods and they've lost their homes, the water was as high as the ceiling. It's not just a tent that has collapsed, it's a home, it's collapsed, it's mud, it's their entire life.
"Many of them lost their children. So there is irreparable damage."
