Angelina Jolie may finally be ready to open her heart again. According to someone close to the 51-year-old actress, she is currently single but has begun embracing a more playful, flirtatious side of herself — and dating could soon follow.
“Angelina says she’s not seeing anyone, but she definitely knows how to flirt,” the source claimed. According to the insider, Jolie has become “flirty and sweet” again and sees this period as the beginning of an entirely new chapter, one centered on freedom and new experiences.
There is reportedly one major condition for any future romance: her next partner is unlikely to come from Hollywood. The source claims Jolie wants someone who loves traveling and is completely different from Brad Pitt. Her complicated childhood experience around the movie industry, including growing up with famous father Jon Voight frequently away from home, reportedly left her uncomfortable with the celebrity world.
Jolie is also said to have ambitious plans that go far beyond romance. She reportedly hopes to spend considerable time in Cambodia working with the Maddox Foundation and may even write a book about her travels. After years of putting motherhood at the center of her life, she is now said to be attracted to the idea of living more like a “nomad,” exploring different places, meeting new people and learning along the way.
The actress filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in 2016, two years after they married. The former couple raised six children together: Maddox, Pax and Zahara, whom they adopted, and their biological children Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne. Jolie previously accused Pitt of alcohol abuse and domestic violence, allegations that became part of their bitter separation.
Although they eventually reached agreements concerning custody and property, their legal disputes continued. Jolie and Pitt have remained locked in a battle connected to Château Miraval, while five of their children have reportedly stopped using their father’s surname. Pax is said to be the only one still using the double surname Jolie-Pitt.
Since the breakup, Jolie has been romantically linked by rumors to several famous men, including The Weeknd and Johnny Depp. None of those reports developed into a publicly confirmed long-term relationship. Now, however, those close to the actress suggest she may finally be ready to let someone new into her life — just not another Hollywood star.
