Angelina Jolie seeks 'new love' as she's back on the dating scene days after 50th birthday, sources claim
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Angelina Jolie is reportedly marking the beginning of a more personal and fulfilling chapter in her life after hitting 50.
The actress, who finalized her divorce from Brad Pitt after a lengthy legal battle, is said to be quietly re-entering the dating world while prioritizing calm and peace.
Angelina Jolie on hitting 'my stride in my 50s’
Jolie turned 50 on June 4 and chose to celebrate the milestone in a low-key fashion.
Instead of a Hollywood-style party, she spent the day at her Los Angeles home with her five youngest children, who organized a small gathering for her.
This quiet birthday marks a deeper shift in Jolie’s life. In a 2021 interview with British Vogue, Jolie shared her views on aging, saying, “I feel that I’m gonna hit my stride in my 50s.”
She added, “I like being older, I feel much more comfortable in my forties than I did when I was younger. Maybe because my mom didn’t live very long, so there's something about age that feels like a victory instead of a sadness for me.”
Angelina Jolie is ‘finally putting herself back out’ after years of focusing on her children
According to Radar Online, Jolie has been largely single since her split from Pitt in 2016 but is now quietly dating again.
A friend familiar with her circle told the outlet, “With the kids now older and focused on their own lives, she finally has space to focus on her love life.”
The source added that Jolie is being cautious as she steps into the dating scene again.
“Angelina knows that anyone she dates will be heavily scrutinized, so she’s been extremely careful to keep things under wraps,” the friend told the outlet.
Brad Pitt, 61, has been publicly dating actor Ines de Ramon, 32, since 2022. He recently described the divorce finalization with Jolie as “not that major of a thing.”
