Angelina Jolie has recently opened up about her struggles with trusting men following the emotional trauma from her high-profile relationship with Brad Pitt. Despite finalizing her divorce from the actor years ago, the 49-year-old actress has not yet fully healed from the difficulties in her marriage. While she has not closed the door on future relationships, Jolie is in no rush to seek romance and is focused on her children and personal growth.
Healing from the Past
Since her divorce from Brad Pitt in 2016, Angelina Jolie has chosen to prioritize her children over any new romantic relationships. The actress shares six children with Pitt: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne. These children are her primary focus, and she finds fulfillment in being a mother. The Oscar-winning actress has found peace in spending quality time with her family in New York and is taking her time to heal from the emotional toll that the relationship with Pitt left on her.
Trust Issues Post-Brad Pitt
A close source to Jolie recently shared insights with US Weekly, revealing that it has been difficult for her to trust men again. The trauma from her relationship with Brad Pitt continues to affect her, making it challenging to open up to others. However, the source emphasized that Jolie has not completely sworn off men and is not ruling out the possibility of future love. Despite this, the Maleficent actress is not actively seeking a new relationship at this time.
The source stated, “It’s hard for her to trust men after what she went through with Brad. She hasn’t sworn off men, but she’s not looking for anything serious right now.” For now, Jolie is content with working on her fashion brand, Atelier Jolie, and expanding her humanitarian projects. She has been dedicating her time to causes close to her heart, reflecting her deep commitment to her work and personal healing.
The Legacy of Brangelina
Jolie and Pitt’s romance began in 2005 when they met on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. They became one of Hollywood’s most famous couples, known as “Brangelina.” The two built a family over the years, with Jolie and Pitt eventually marrying in August 2014. However, just two years later, in 2016, Jolie filed for divorce, marking the end of their 12-year relationship.
Their split was highly publicized, and in a statement at the time, a representative for Jolie said, “This decision was made for the health of the family. She will not be commenting at this time, and asks that the family be given their privacy during this difficult time.”
Brad Pitt’s New Beginning
Since their separation, Brad Pitt has reportedly moved on and found love again. He is currently in a relationship with Ines de Ramon. According to sources, Pitt is focused on putting his past behind him and moving forward with his life. He is ready to start over, and his new relationship with de Ramon is reportedly helping him heal from the pain of the past.
A source revealed, “Brad wants to get his life [back] on track and put this behind him. He can start over again.” Pitt and de Ramon have spotted each other several times, and the actor seems to enjoy this new chapter in his life.
Moving Forward with a Focus on Family
For Angelina Jolie, the road to healing is still ongoing. While she is not actively seeking love at the moment, she has not closed herself off entirely. Her main priority remains her children and her humanitarian work, which bring her the most fulfillment at this stage in her life. With time, it’s possible that Jolie will find the peace and trust she needs to open her heart once again. But for now, she focuses on being the best mother she can be and rebuilding her life in the best way possible.
Angelina Jolie’s journey after her divorce from Brad Pitt reflects the emotional complexity of healing from a high-profile, traumatic relationship. As she focuses on her family and personal growth, it’s clear that trust remains a challenge, but not an impossibility for the future. The actress and humanitarian continues to move forward, with her family and her work as her main sources of fulfillment.
