Overview
- The June 22, 2026 Yahoo Entertainment interview revealed Jolie's direct remark that she "hasn't dated since I divorced a decade ago" while promoting her film Couture.
- Jolie says playing a filmmaker who faces illness and an unexpected romance in Couture prompted her to reconsider how to balance motherhood with seeking a partner.
- She told the outlet her daughters have encouraged her to reclaim parts of herself beyond being "Mom," and she said the last decade has left her feeling "broken" but ready to "live again."
- The comments sit against a long public backdrop: Jolie and Brad Pitt separated in 2016, completed a protracted divorce process in 2024, and have since had legal disputes over Château Miraval and several children moving to drop the 'Pitt' surname.
- Watch for how Jolie's next steps on dating and career choices play out during the Couture publicity and the pending Miraval legal matters because both could shape her public role and family dynamics going forward.
