After Angelina Jolie spoke about her divorce from Brad Pitt and how it impacted her family and health, Brad has also spoken about “family stuff”. The actor opened up about the mental toll that the family troubles took on him and even admitted that he felt suicidal for the first time during the tumultuous period.

In an interview with Esquire, the Oscar-winning actor said, “I was never suicidal in any way. It was just not my makeup. In fact, if I have any afflictions, it's probably being a congenital optimist. Which has helped many times, and it's also got me – I've walked foolishly head-on into a Mack truck because of my optimism.”

Recently, in an interview with Yahoo Entertainment, Angelina Jolie opened up about her dating life. Speaking candidly, she shared that she hasn’t “dated since she divorced a decade ago”. “I'm thinking I have to live again. Be free again. In a way that maybe life has broken me a little bit,” she said.

After meeting on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith in 2004, Angelina and Brad became one of Hollywood's most prominent couples. They dated for over a decade before tying the knot at their French estate in August 2014. They raised six children. However, their relationship didn’t last, and they separated in 2016. What followed was a complex and lengthy divorce battle. They finalised their divorce in December 2024. Since then, a few of the children who turned 18 decided to remove Pitt as their last name.
