IT HAS HELPED HIM HEAL

A source told the outlet that DiCaprio loves coming over at Pitt's house to use his own sculpting studio. The source added that they sometimes spend time with Pitt's artist buddies.

In a 2017 interview with GQ Style, Pitt first opened up about sculpting and how it has helped him mend after his controversial split with Jolie. He said if he does nothing, then he'll only be making situations of "fiery demise in his mind."

So one day, he decided to go to the sculpting studio of one of his friends, and that was where his enthusiasm for sculpting began.

Pitt separated from Jolie in September 2016 after two years of marriage. The former couple had been together for 12 years. Their split resulted in a custody battle for their six children.

Throughout their divorce process, Pitt was making headlines because of the allegations that he was an abusive father. There's also an allegation that he battled substance abuse.

Though the actor admitted he had been dealing with alcohol addiction, he has denied being a bad parent to their children.
