Angelina Jolie declines to talk about Brad Pitt divorce in interview: ‘I’m trying to get used to what to share’

Angelina Jolie declines to talk about Brad Pitt divorce in interview: 'I'm trying to get used to what to share'

As an ardent fan, I find myself deeply moved and captivated by Angelina Jolie‘s life journey, her resilience, and her unwavering dedication to her family. Her grace under pressure and her ability to maintain privacy amidst global stardom is truly awe-inspiring.


In a recent conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Angelina Jolie gracefully chose not to discuss the ongoing details of her separation from Brad Pitt.

During an interview with reporter Rebecca Keegan at her $25 million Los Feliz residence, the 49-year-old Oscar winner chose to establish clear limits on various topics, such as her separation from Pitt and their son Pax’s recent critical electric bike incident.

In a conversation with the press, the actress who plays Maleficent shared that in old Hollywood, one could maintain a chaotic private life while the work itself would speak for them.

After her extended break from the industry, she candidly acknowledged that her connection with the audience has changed, and she’s figuring out what information to disclose.

When Keegan inquired about the possibility of discussing the current state of her divorce, the actress responded negatively.

Afterward, she disclosed that she would stay in California until their six kids, including hers and Brad Pitt’s, reach the age of 18.

They have two adult children, Maddox (22) and Pax (20), along with three teenagers – Zahara (19), Shiloh (18), and the 16-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne.

She shared that she spent her childhood years in this city, specifically Los Angeles. Currently, she finds herself here due to the aftermath of a divorce, however, once her children turn 18, she plans on moving away.

In simpler terms, she said, “With six kids, it’s crucial we all have personal space, tranquility, and security. Although I have a home to raise them, at times, this place doesn’t always feel like the human warmth I experienced globally, which wasn’t as prevalent in my upbringing here.”

After her last two kids turn 18, Jolie expresses that she intends to devote a significant amount of time in Cambodia and catch up with her family members no matter where they are globally.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I often get asked about my closest companions, the ones I’d reach out to in the wee hours of the night. To be honest, I don’t typically have the kind of close-knit friendships that some people do. However, I cherish the relationships I have and would trust them with anything, even if they might not involve late-night phone calls.

She mentioned, “Perhaps it’s growing up without a parent at a young age. Maybe it’s my career or the many times I’ve been hurt. In any case, I don’t have as many deep, intimate relationships as some people do. However, even a few strong connections are enough for me.”

Jolie listed Loung Ung as one of her ‘closest friends’ and her late mom, Marcheline Bertrand, who passed away in 2007.

‘I was extremely close with my mom, but unfortunately, she passed away. Over time, some friends haven’t been supportive when my family needed them. However, there are a few individuals I can rely on and trust.’

In 2016, Jolie started reducing her involvement in films and chose roles with minimal extended shooting periods, devoting her time more towards ‘recovery’ and the conclusion of her marital relationship.

When asked about her delay in acting or directing again, the star clarified that she prioritized spending more time at home with her children.

She mentioned that her children are growing up, becoming increasingly independent. This gives her the freedom to take longer absences. In fact, they have reached an age where they can accompany her at her workplace. She expressed great enthusiasm about this new phase in their lives, as she sees them blossoming more and more each day.

From my perspective as a lifestyle advisor, when it comes to her writing habits, Jolie mentioned that she typically pens her thoughts down when everyone around her is peacefully slumbering. This way, she finds the quiet and solitude conducive for undisturbed concentration.

Despite typically preferring privacy regarding her personal affairs, Jolie expressed that one of the most gratifying aspects – perhaps the sole positive aspect – of being in the public eye is fostering connections with other individuals.

As a lifestyle guide, I’d put it this way: “When I first entered this profession and took on roles like Gia or Girl, Interrupted, I found they allowed me to channel my struggles and emotional turmoil. When audiences resonated with those performances, I felt less isolated. Therefore, when someone shares their personal experiences, such as battling breast cancer or losing a loved one, it deepens my empathy and connection with another individual.”

Jolie commented: ‘It’s quite pleasant to walk into a room filled with strangers, yet find common ground swiftly due to shared experiences from TV or making their kids giggle, or them knowing something personal about you – that’s truly charming.’

Jolie and Pitt have been hashing out the details of their divorce for the past eight years.

On a Friday, a confidant of Pitt shared with People that it’s quite surprising that the duo have yet to reach an agreement and officially finalize their divorce.

According to a source, one significant cause of their dissatisfaction prior to Angelina’s divorce filing was their frequent disagreements concerning the upbringing of their children.

As she was raised in Hollywood, daughter of actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand, and he spent his childhood in a more typical manner in Springfield, Missouri, the source noted that the stars each had unique perspectives on life in general.

According to the source, this principle also extended to the children. Brad envisioned a disciplined lifestyle for them that included a defined educational program. In contrast, Angie wished for them to discover their individual identities and pursue what ignited their enthusiasm and passion.

In the end, I wholeheartedly embraced Jolie’s unique parenting style, which has nurtured in my children a sense of freedom, intelligence, and creativity that is truly remarkable. They have blossomed into free-thinking, intellectually gifted, and artistically inclined individuals.

‘Brad is very proud though,’ the source made clear.
