Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were one of Hollywood's it-couples until their lengthy and contentious court battle following their split in 2016. According to an article in OK! Magazine, the 48-year-old actress struggled after the split. She didn't go out much on dates and it took her a while to find a boyfriend.
However, Jolie's dating situation reportedly started to improve gradually after her divorce. Jolie and her mysterious partner were just starting out. "It’s still in the early days, but word is she’s been on a few outings with a handsome man who’s come into her life and impressed her enough to stick around and see where it leads. It’s been such a long time since she’s dated anyone, so it’s a little surreal, but she’s excited," a source stated.
Why did Angelina Jolie struggle to find a boyfriend?
Jolie was reportedly at fault for her lack of partners. "She realized she’s an intimidating person to approach, so she replaced her reserved demeanor with a far more easygoing and open attitude, which made all the difference. She’s finding it a real buzz to be back in the place of connecting with someone on a romantic level and is ready to have some fun," the source added.
At the same time, Jolie was rumored to be linked with a number of men following her divorce from Pitt. Around the year 2020, Globe accused the mom of six of being a man-eater. Jolie was reportedly accused of stealing Pitt from Jennifer Aniston. She's also doing the same with her co-star, Nicholas Hoult. As a result, Hoult's purported girlfriend was said to be upset. "Angie is bragging how great her and Nick’s chemistry is, and she can’t wait to hang out with him and get even closer," an insider told at the time. "She’s telling people he’s a total fox and raves about how he’s a real intellect, as well as a talented actor. It’s the exact same scheme she used to work her charms on Brad all those years ago – and everyone knows how that ended."
Ultimately, these were just rumors that surfaced while she was preoccupied with her children and her job and the actress had not dated anyone publicly since announcing her divorce from Pitt.
