Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's Recent Personal Life after Split - Details

• Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's tumultuous split brought forth revelations of their marriage and endless legal battles.
• Amidst ongoing settlement proceedings, Jolie prioritized her children's well-being and her personal growth.
• Despite challenges, she embarked on new projects and found strength and peace of mind in her role as a mother.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt started dating in 2005 and got engaged in 2012. The couple have six kids, Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax, Knox, and Vivienne. Jolie and Pitt got married on August 23, 2014. However, after two years of marriage, they separated.

Jolie initiated divorce proceedings against Pitt on September 19, 2016, citing irreconcilable differences, and their legal status changed to single individuals in 2019. Reflecting on her decision in 2021, Jolie emphasized the gravity of her choices.

She stated, "It took a lot for me to reach a point where I felt compelled to separate from the father of my children." Jolie added that she was heartbroken by the experience but all she wanted was for her, her kids, and their father to find a way to move forward.

In 2021, Jolie was speculated to be moving on after she was spotted with the singer, The Weeknd, who now goes by his birth name, Abel Tesfaye. Jolie and Tesfaye spent two and a half hours at dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica on September 26, 2021.

The two arrived at the swanky eatery separately and dined at a private section of the luxurious family-run Italian restaurant. After their meal, the two left together, with Jolie sitting in the backseat of Tesfaye's black SUV. They then drove to the singer's Bel-Air mansion.

This dinner wasn't Jolie and Tesfaye's first sighting as they had been seen in Giorgio Baldi on June 30, 2021. On June 10, 2021, Jolie and Tesfaye were photographed going to the same concert in Los Angeles. These sightings fueled romance rumors between Jolie and Tesfaye.

Still, a year later, in 2022, Jolie was caught up in high-profile drama with Brad Pitt when heavily redacted documents surfaced. The documents shed light on the FBI's investigations into an alleged incident of abuse involving Pitt in the presence of his and Jolie's children on a private jet.

The purported plane incident occurred on September 14, 2016, merely days prior to Jolie initiating divorce proceedings against Pitt. The Los Angeles Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) and FBI conducted inquiries into Pitt following an anonymous tip concerning a contentious altercation he purportedly had with Jolie while journeying on a private jet from France to their Los Angeles abode.

It was alleged that Pitt became "verbally abusive" and "physically" confrontational with one of their children during the flight, as per a source familiar with the matter at the time. Pitt denied any wrongdoing.

By November of 2016, the FBI concluded its investigation without charging Pitt. Prior to that, in the same month, DCFS had also closed its investigation, finding no evidence of abuse.

Based on the FBI report, Jolie described a palpable tension between herself and Pitt, stating that his behavior during the incident left her feeling confined within the plane. Reportedly, Pitt seized and shook her, forcefully propelled her into a wall, and struck the aircraft's ceiling.

When Jolie perceived that Pitt appeared poised to harm one of their children after being called a derogatory name during the argument, Jolie reacted by encircling his neck with her arms, employing a chokehold-like maneuver.

She stated Pitt ranted and behaved aggressively on the plane by imitating "the behavior of a monster and screamed at them." She and the kids were shocked during the flight, expressed Jolie, who added that she froze and, feeling utterly helpless at the moment, unsure of how to react.

Furthermore, Jolie asserted that the plane sustained around $25,000 in damages due to red wine stains, and she claimed that Pitt poured beer on her during the altercation. The report noted that Jolie had injuries resembling rug burns on her hand, while Pitt had a scratch. Jolie suggested that the scratch might have been caused by her.

Despite a thorough investigation, no charges were filed in connection with the incident, according to an insider. The source added that it was customary for such matters to remain undisclosed as both parties had the documents. Pitt had also previously spoken out, denying these allegations of physical abuse.

Now, the contentious divorce of Pitt and Jolie may soon wrap up. According to court documents, Pitt and the actress are giving their final financial disclosures to the other party. This move is particularly notable given the lack of progress in their divorce proceedings over the past couple of years.

The final terms in the overall settlement of the divorce remain pending. However, financial filings signify a significant step towards concluding one of the most iconic marriages and contentious divorces in Hollywood. Whenever conflicting parties in a divorce present financial documents, it typically signals that the culmination is imminent.

Leaving behind her tumultuous marriage and contentious divorce, Jolie advised anyone going through a hard time not to stop but to keep moving. She noted that when one is caught up in a fire, the only way out is to walk through it.

The movie star also confessed, "I have had my ups and downs. I guess I am a little bit stronger." Whenever she is short of strength, Jolie seeks motivation from her kids. "They are the best of me," she noted.

Even during the difficult moments, Jolie prioritized her kids. The children were in their formative years when she and Pitt split. However, the actress put her kids first, noting that as her mother, her foremost responsibility was towards her children and everything else came second.

Jolie even put her successful career on hold after her split from Pitt, saying that her priority remained her children and their well-being. "Everything will be around the children I haven’t worked for over a year now because they needed me home. Everything was just stopped," she explained.

As she got back to work, she noted that each project she would take part in and their locations were going to be adjusted to how much her kids could handle.

In 2023, Jolie also opened up about her feelings and her kids. She revealed, "I feel a bit down these days. I don't feel like I have been myself for a decade, in a way which I don't want to get into." She added that seven years ago, she started doing fewer films and only took jobs that didn't need long shoots.

The actress explained that she and her kids, "had a lot of healing to do." "We're still finding our footing," she added. Jolie also expressed gratitude towards her kids, noting that her life changed when she had them.

Her children taught her to be in this world differently and she felt like she would have been in a much darker place had she not wanted to live for them. The "Maleficent" star noted that as much as she was a safe place and a source of stability for her kids, she also saw them taking over various aspects of their family.

Jolie's life after Pitt has been focused on her projects and kids. As much as she has been speculated to be dating, these relationships have only remained as rumored. On the other hand, Pitt has a special someone in his life, Ines de Ramon, who works for the jewelry brand Anita Ko. The two have been spotted a couple of times on dates and romantic adventures.

As for Angelina Jolie, her kids and projects, including her new business Atelier Jolie have been her main focus in recent years. Working on Atelier Jolie with her kids has been therapeutic for the family. Jolie noted that she was hoping to change many aspects of her life and Atelier Jolie was just the first step in her moving forward.
