A source close to Angelina Jolie revealed to People magazine how the actress is managing her life two years after her divorce, emphasizing her dedication to motherhood and personal growth amid ongoing legal battles. This update is part of the latest Brad Pitt divorce update, reflecting the complexities the family continues to face.
Finalizing a Lengthy Divorce After Eight Years
Though Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt publicly separated in 2016, their divorce settlement took eight years to finalize. Together, they have six children: Maddox, 24; Pax, 22; Zahara, 21; Shiloh, 19; along with twins Knox and Vivienne, both 17. Their long legal process has kept the family in the public eye, alongside their personal challenges.
Allegations and Name Changes Among the Children
In the year of their split, Angelina accused Brad of attacking her and two of their children during a plane incident, allegations that Brad Pitt has denied. Meanwhile, at least four of their children have chosen to remove “Pitt” from their last names publicly, with Shiloh having done so legally. In addition, the exes remain entangled in a legal dispute over their shared ownership of the French vineyard Château Miraval.
Angelina’s Focus on Motherhood Over Dating
The insider disclosed that since the divorce, Angelina Jolie has not been romantically involved, saying she is “extremely busy” and that
“dating hasn’t been important to her.”
Her priority remains raising her children while managing her career and personal affairs.
Brad Pitt, 62, on the other hand, is reported to be dating 33-year-old Ines de Ramon.
Single Motherhood at the Heart of Angelina’s Life
“She’s pretty much been a single mom since the divorce, so that’s where most of her focus has been,” the source continued. “She loves being a mom and always wants to make sure that everyone thrives. She seems to be doing great.”
