Eight years after separating from ex-husband Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie is still avoiding men for fear of getting hurt.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s divorce was finalized five years ago and they separated three years before that. Still, Angelina remained alone for so long. If a new report is to be believed, it’s because of the ‘scars of their toxic relationship’ that have left them ‘dead’. ,Also read: Angelina Jolie says ‘I’m imperfect’ and feels ‘lonely’,
Why Angelina ‘keeps distance from men’
In Touch Weekly quotes a source close to the Tomb Raider actor as saying, “There’s a reason Angelina is still single, and it’s not for the lack of men wanting to date her. The fact is that she keeps them all away because she’s so afraid of getting hurt again like she did with Brad.’
Angelina is ‘frozen’ in relationship
The source says, ‘It’s been almost a decade since they parted ways, but unpleasant memories of the relationship still haunt Angelina. “He has moved on, but she is frozen. Unless she finds a way to heal, the scars of their toxic relationship may prevent her from ever moving on,” the source continued, adding, “Before she met Brad, she was very fearless and took love for granted. She was very quick to let me in, but these days she’s the complete opposite. “She refuses to allow herself to be vulnerable, and it’s clear that what she went through with Brad has destroyed her trust in men.”
There have been reports that Angelina is meeting rapper Akala. There were also reports that the two recently spent some time together at her hotel suite in London, but other reports claim that they are not dating. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt met on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005 and started dating soon after. They married in 2014 but separated after two years. Their divorce was finalized in 2019.
Angelina is doing much better on the work front. She is starring in Maria, a biopic of opera singer Maria Callas. Directed by Pablo Larraín, the film premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival in August and received positive reviews. The film will have a limited release in theaters in November before being released on Netflix on December 11.
