Angelina Jolie revealed in a recent interview that she has not been in a relationship for the past ten years, since her separation from Brad Pitt in 2016. The actress and director explained that her focus has been on her children during this period.
I honestly haven't known anyone in the last ten years since I left my marriage. I've been focused on my children and family.
Jolie and Pitt, who met in 2005 on the set of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," ended their marriage in 2016. Their divorce proceedings involved an eight-year legal battle that concluded in December 2024. The couple shares six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne.
Mr. Pitt refused to buy out Ms. Jolie's stake.
Legal documents filed in 2024 by Jolie's team alleged that Brad Pitt physically abused her and their children, with the first instance occurring before a 2016 flight. The filings also claimed Pitt refused to allow Jolie to sell her share of their French winery, Chateau Miraval, unless she signed a restrictive non-disclosure agreement. According to the documents, Pitt feared that sealed evidence Jolie had submitted in their custody dispute could become public.
Although Pitt's history of physical abuse of Angelina Jolie began long before the family trip by plane from France to Los Angeles in September 2016, this flight was the first time he directed his physical abuse toward the children as well. Jolie immediately left him then.
