Frozen by her past’s emotional baggage, Angelina Jolie keeps men far away from herself and her children. A decade after splitting from Brad Pitt, the scars from their messy divorce are still haunting her, stopping her from jumping into new relationships.
The Mr. & Mrs. Smith love story may have been iconic, but what was the emotional fallout after their bitter split in 2019? Not so much. A source spilled to In Touch Weekly, “There’s a reason Angelina is still single, and it’s not for a lack of men lining up to date her. Fact is, she keeps them all at a distance because she’s so terrified of getting hurt again the way she did with Brad.” Ouch. It seems like that toxic relationship left a more significant mark than anyone expected.
It’s been almost a decade since they called it quits, but those memories? Still fresh. The insider said, “He’s moved on, but she’s frozen.” Brad’s off doing his thing, but Angie’s still stuck in the past. “Unless she finds a way to heal, the scars of their toxic relationship may prevent her from ever moving on.” Before Brad, she was fearless, diving into love like it was no big deal. These days? She won’t even let her guard down. Trust? Yeah, that’s been completely shattered.
Reports about her seeing British rapper Akala have been swirling. They were spotted hanging out at her London hotel suite, but some sources say they’re not dating. Whatever the status, one thing’s for sure: Angelina’s relationship approach has changed since her time with Brad.
Let’s rewind a bit. Angie and Brad met on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005, and their off-screen chemistry made headlines worldwide. After years together, they split in 2016, and by 2019, their divorce was finalized in one of Hollywood’s most dramatic splits. It wasn’t just about the divorce, though. Radar reported that after everything went down, Angelina chose to step back from dating altogether, focusing on her kids instead.
But now? With the kids growing up, the possibility of romance is back on the table. But she’s not rushing into anything. “Before she met Brad, she was fearless and let love in quickly, but now it’s the opposite,” the source added. “It’s obvious her trust in men was shattered by what happened with Brad.”
Right now, Angelina’s living her best life on screen—starring in Maria, a biopic of opera legend Maria Callas, which just dropped at the Venice Film Festival. And while love may be on pause, it’s clear that Angie’s still moving forward, just on her terms. Whatever happens next, it will be on her terms; no rush.
