Angelina Jolie is open to finding love again—and this time, she’s letting her kids play matchmaker. After years of focusing on her family, insiders revealed that Jolie is ready to let someone new into her life, but only if her children approve. Her six children—Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox—are all eager for their mom to find love again. Sources say they want her to have something to focus on besides them and are supportive of her dating, even encouraging her to open her heart to someone new.
A source told RadarOnline, “Being a mom comes first to her, so she’s not going to give anyone a second look if her kids don’t approve.” The source continued, “Angelina’s kids really want to see her move on. They’ve been pushing her to date for a while, and the older they get, the more anxious they are for her to meet someone because they feel a lot of responsibility for her.” They added, “They’re busy with their own lives and getting busier by the day, and they all hate the idea of their mom sitting home alone. She says all the time they’re the center of her world, so even though she never tries to hold them back, it’s only natural they’d feel some guilt and worry about abandoning her.”
The insider shared, “Of course, they’re all extremely protective of her, and that means anyone she dates has to live up to very high standards.” Since Jolie’s separation from ex-Brad Pitt, the actor was reportedly seen in a fling with The Weeknd and on an occasional rendezvous with ex-Johnny Lee Miller. There were also rumors of her dating British rapper Akala recently and reportedly being spotted flirting with Chris Rock. However, the insider revealed that Jolie’s children want her to leave all the casual dalliances behind and settle down, as they are more than excited to find a suitable bachelor for her.
The source told the media outlet, “They’re starting to mix in some very elite circles, so there’s potential for them to play matchmaker for her, and she’s promised to keep an open mind and give anyone they suggest a real chance.” As Jolie continues to navigate her world as a mother and a potential partner, her children stand ready to assist, bringing both anticipation and excitement to this new chapter of their lives.
