The past eight years have been marred by court battles with her ex Brad Pitt, but after finalising their divorce last December, we’re told Angelina Jolie is jumping back into the dating scene.
Having spent time ‘healing’ from her five-year marriage to Brad, 61, which ended in 2019, our source reveals that the mum of five is ready for a new chapter as she turns 50 on 4 June. A source reveals, ‘After she and Brad split, Angelina was totally focused on their kids. But it’s been nearly a decade, and that side of her wasn’t going to stay dormant forever.
‘She’s finally feeling healed enough to enjoy some adult companionship and has got her glow back. She’s entering a new decade of life feeling empowered and hopeful.’
Don’t expect any PDAs, though. Explaining that potential suitors will be ‘vetted’, the source adds, ‘Angelina is hyper-aware that anyone she dates is going to be put under a microscope, so she’s purposefully keeping things very private.’ And after being married to actors three times – Jonny Lee Miller, 52, Billy Bob Thornton, 69, and Brad – the A-lister is keeping an open mind.
‘She isn’t only open to Hollywood types, as she knows a huge network of people from all walks of life,’ the source says.
‘She isn’t ruling out dating another actor, but she ideally would prefer to settle down with someone totally different. For now, it’s all no-strings-attached fun, but she’s open to all possibilities.’
