Page Six • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Angelina Jolie has regained her "fighting spirit" nearly a decade after her split from Brad Pitt, crediting her six children for encouraging her to explore new aspects of herself and return to acting.
- Jolie had paused acting before her divorce to focus on directing and international work, but returned to acting to balance work with spending more time at home.
- The couple finalized their divorce in December 2024 after over eight years of legal proceedings, with Pitt reportedly having little contact with their children.
- Several of Jolie and Pitt's children have legally dropped Pitt’s last name, a move that has reportedly devastated Pitt but he is not ready to give up on his relationship with them.
- Sources offer differing perspectives on the family dynamics, with some accusing Jolie of alienating the children from Pitt, while others highlight years of family therapy and emphasize the children’s autonomy in their decisions.
