Overview
- In an interview published June 22, Jolie said she has not dated since her 2016 split from Brad Pitt and that parenting and family life have kept her from focusing on romance.
- Playing a woman who faces a breast cancer diagnosis in Couture prompted Jolie to rethink dating and motherhood and to see that both can coexist for a parent.
- Jolie said her daughters have urged her to rediscover parts of herself beyond being ‘Mom,’ and several of her children have taken steps to distance themselves from their father by dropping or seeking to drop the Pitt name.
- The couple’s high‑profile divorce was settled in late 2024 but legal fights over shared assets, including Château Miraval, remain active and have continued to shape Jolie’s public life.
- With Jolie’s children reaching adulthood, the family dynamic and legal custody framework are changing, which could free her to pursue more travel, work and personal renewal in the months ahead.
