Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt became legally single in 2019 after their divorce was finalized. The couple, who had been together for 12 years, married on August 23, 2014, and separated in 2016 when Angelina filed for divorce.
Angelina and Brad share six kids, Maddox, 22, Pax, 19, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15. Four years after the pair were officially divorced, Angelina has opened up about her state of mind.
The mom of six spoke out in an interview with Vogue as she launched her fashion label "Atelier Jolie." Angelina said the fashion label would ensure people can dress to showcase a soft look instead of a tough one.
Angelina said the idea came to her when she was vulnerable and thought wearing pants and boots would make her feel safe. Now, the actress is unsure of what her style is. However, she wishes to dress in a soft and vulnerable way, as is portrayed by "Atelier Jolie" designs.
The movie star said she is transitioning and journeying to discover who she is. Angelina said she feels a bit low these days. "I don't feel like I've been myself for a decade, in a way, which I don't want to get into," she confessed.
However, a representative of Brad denied the accusations, saying Angelina was only making allegations that harmed their family.

The actress said she and her kids have "a lot of healing to do" and are still finding their footing. Angelina, Zahara, and Pax worked together to create "Atelier Jolie." Angelina noted that the process was therapeutic as she worked with people she trusted to rediscover herself.
