Single life can be tough! Angelina Jolie has been struggling since her split with Brad Pitt, HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned. The star reportedly became ‘incredibly lonely’ — and you’ll never guess what she ‘misses’ most about her ex! Angelina Jolie, 41, reportedly has been having a really rough time on her own. “Angelina is incredibly lonely. She acted in anger and frustration, and really didn’t think her actions through,” a source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “I don’t think she was prepared for what life would be like on her own.” She’s a mother to six adorable children, which has to be a tough job all by herself. Now we have to wonder, was the Salt actress simply putting on a brave face when she took Shiloh and Knox to the Renaissance Pleasure Faire of Southern California in Irwindale on May 6? The movie star reportedly hasn’t felt like there’s anyone she can really open up to about how she has been feeling. “Aside from the kids, bodyguards, and her staff, she has no one — not even a close friend,” the source continues. “There’s no one that she fully trusts or can confide in. That’s what she misses most about Brad [Pitt], their conversations and closeness.” Angelina has started to remember how much she loved Brad and how well they worked together as parents. “When things were good, they were a team, it was them against the world,” the insider told us. “I would not be surprised if she decides to give Brad another chance. It certainly seems to be what she wants deep down—but then, she has an incredibly stubborn and self-destructive streak, and that may ultimately prevent her from following her heart.”

Brad Pitt Breaks Silence on Angelina Jolie Divorce, Reveals He's Quit Drinking: 'Don't Want to Live That Way Anymore'

Brad Pitt has revealed he’s stopped drinking and is in therapy in his first interview since his split from Angelina Jolie last September.In the extensive talk for GQ Style‘s summer issue, the 53-year-old actor mentioned his estranged wife’s name just once, recommending the interviewer check out her new movie First They Killed My Father: “You should see Angie’s film.”Speaking with the magazine, Pitt gets candid about a sprawling range of intimate topics, opening up about his six children with Jolie and the public custody fight over them — while admitting that his personal turbulence has been “self-inflicted.”Pitt also says that and he Jolie are “both doing our best” to work through the divorce — he concedes that the situation has been like a death — even as he reveals that the split has been “jarring” to their children to “suddenly have their family ripped apart.” After the bitter end of his 12-year relationship with Jolie, Pitt initially agreed to weekly supervised visits with their six kids, Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 8. The Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services and the FBI launched an investigation after Pitt allegedly got “verbally abusive” and “physical” with Maddox, his and Jolie‘s oldest child, after drinking on the couple’s private plane on Sept. 14, five days before she filed for divorce. They concluded that there were no findings of abuse and the former couple released a joint statement saying they were working with a private judge to resolve their divorce and would “act as a united front” moving forward. The FBI closed the criminal case with no charges.The actor traveled to three national parks with GQ Style, resulting in three new covers.Pitt spent much of the interview talking about his transformation since the split – including his healthy lifestyle changes.“I was boozing too much,” he shared. “It’s just become a problem. And I’m really happy it’s been half a year now, which is bittersweet, but I’ve got my feelings in my fingertips again.”He added, “Truthfully I could drink a Russian under the table with his own vodka. I was a professional. I was good.”When asked how he simply stopped drinking, the Allied star said, “Don’t want to live that way anymore.”While he sticks to cranberry juice and “fizzy water” nowadays, Pitt admitted that he tends to take things too far.
Because it was “too sad” to be at the Hollywood Hills home where his six children spent much of their time, the actor said he crashed on a friend’s floor in Santa Monica following his split with Jolie.Despite his attempt to stay out of the spotlight in recent months, he fears for his kids after the details of his bitter custody battle were splashed across the media.“I worry about it more for my kids, being subjected to it, and their friends getting ideas from it,” he said. “And of course it’s not done with any kind of delicacy or insight—it’s done to sell. And so you know the most sensational sells, and that’s what they’ll be subjected to, and that pains me.” “I was really on my back and chained to a system when Child Services was called. And you know, after that, we’ve been able to work together to sort this out,” Pitt told GQ Style. “We’re both doing our best. I heard one lawyer say, ‘No one wins in court—it’s just a matter of who gets hurt worse.’ And it seems to be true, you spend a year just focused on building a case to prove your point and why you’re right and why they’re wrong, and it’s just an investment in vitriolic hatred. I just refuse. And fortunately my partner in this agrees. It’s just very, very jarring for the kids, to suddenly have their family ripped apart.”Pitt has been spending much of his time working with clay, plaster, rebar and wood to make things. The solitude allows him to reflect and “try to make sense of where we are at this time.”“I remember literally having this thought a year, a year and a half ago; someone was going through some scandal,” he said. “Something crossed my path that was a big scandal—and I went, ‘Thank God I’m never going to have to be a part of one of those again.’ I live my life, I have my family, I do my thing, I don’t do anything illegal, I don’t cross anyone’s path. What’s the David Foster Wallace quote? ‘Truth will set you free, but not until it’s done with you first.'” Pitt says the past six months have taught him to put family first.“People on their deathbeds don’t talk about what they obtained or were awarded. They talk about their loved ones or their regrets—that seems to be the menu,” he said. “I say that as someone who’s let the work take me away. Kids are so delicate. They absorb everything. They need to have their hand held and things explained. They need to be listened to. When I get in that busy work mode, I’m not hearing. I want to be better at that.” Pitt also said that he’s learning to face his feelings despite his upbringing, where he was taught to “just deal with it.”
“I’m personally very retarded when it comes to taking inventory of my emotions. I’m much better at covering up,” he said. “I grew up with a Father-knows-best/war mentality—the father is all-powerful, super strong—instead of really knowing the man and his own self-doubt and struggles. And it’s hit me smack in the face with our divorce: I gotta be more. I gotta be more for them. I have to show them. And I haven’t been great at it.” The actor’s blue eyes take center stage in the series of photos, each of which he looks directly into the camera unsmiling.One cover shows Pitt in a pink sweater and silver chain, with white sand dusted across his face. Another shows the movie star among tall brown weeds donning an orange Hawaiian shirt. In the third photo, he wears a white blazer with gold chain, staring at the camera straight-on.Though he appears to have lost weight, a source previously told PEOPLE, “He’s healthy and much happier. Things with his family have improved, all is being addressed privately, and it’s serving everyone in the family well.”Pitt was photographed by Ryan McGinley at notable locations including the Everglades, the White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns.

Angelina Jolie has been struggling to move on from her dramatic breakup from Brad Pitt HollywoodLife has EXCLUSIVELY learned. Do you think she needs to get over it? See why the actress cannot stop thinking about her ex! Angelina Jolie, 41, reportedly cannot get her ex Brad Pitt, 53, out of her head an insider EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife. “Angelina wants to know exactly what Brad is up to at all times. To say she isn’t able to move on would be an understatement,” the source said. “She even has a google alert on his name, so she can keep tabs on him.” “It kills her that he’s now seeing the kids again, she wants them all to herself, but has to abide by the law,” the insider continued. “She wants to drag out the divorce for as long as possible, so she still has some hold over him, she likes to always be in control and she knows that once the divorce is finalized she will have no hold over him anymore.”“It’s pretty sad really, seeing as she was the one who wanted the divorce in the first place. I suspect that she was actually shocked he didn’t try and fight more for her, her whole plan pretty much backfired,” the insider explained. Meanwhile Brad has reportedly started to move on from Angie. “He has been dating a bit,” a source previously People. “He doesn’t have a girlfriend,” the insider told the mag. “He seems more comfortable double-dating…It’s more of a way to get out and be social.” Brad has reportedly even started thinking about some fun news hobbies like art! “Brad is looking to buy space here (Frogtown). He wants to convert one of the warehouses into a studio and art gallery,” a source previously told HollywoodLife.

How sweet! Angelina Jolie and son Pax Jolie-Pitt, 13, headed out to lunch for a sweet mother-son bonding afternoon in Los Angeles. The lunch date comes two weeks after his first visit with all his siblings to dad Brad Pitt’s home, and they looked like they were having a really nice time! Angelina Jolie, 41, spent some quality one-on-one time with her second eldest child, Pax Jolie-Pitt, 13, on April 30. The mother and son duo were spotted heading out to lunch in Los Angeles along the Pacific Coast Highway at a fancy restaurant overlooking the ocean. How nice! Pax looked totally cool in a camouflage utility jacket and a sleek asymmetrical haircut — long on one side, and shaved on the other. So awesome! Angelina stuck with her chic but casual style: all black, big sunglasses, and simple diamond stud earrings.Angelina’s been spending a ton of time with her six kids separately after filing for divorce from their father, Brad Pitt, 53, in September 2016. It’s all about showering them with attention and meeting their needs without doting on the five other kids at the same time. What a smart move! Just six days ago, Angelina took daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, 10, who’s very into the arts, shopping at a music store. They went home with a brand new ukulele for the young creative. Fun! She’s also gone shopping with daughter Zahara Jolie-Pitt, 12, the family’s little fashionista.It’s good to see Angelina and Pax together, because their relationship has been a little rocky since her split with his dad. Brad and Angelina are talking again and getting to a healthier place where they’re a little more understanding of each other’s situation. It’s all for the kids’ sake, and it’s making the transition much smoother. In fact, Angelina’s new $25 million home is just a mile away from Brad‘s place, where the kids grew up! They could basically walk back and forth if they wanted to! Pax must be a little less angry with his mother, seeing as at one point he reportedly begged to live with Brad instead of with her. Both Pax and Shiloh allegedly told their mom that they’d rather be with her ex because they felt a better connection with dad, according to OK! magazine. The former couple have apparently come to a place where all the kids are happier. What a relief! Brad even had the kids over for dinner for the first time since Angelina filed for temporary full custody.

Angelina Jolie decided she was done with Brad Pitt in September 2016 when she filed for divorce, and hasn’t given any indication since then that she wants him back. However, an insider told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY Angie also doesn’t want to see him with someone new.“Even though [Angelina Jolie] wanted the split, she’s terrified Brad [Pitt] will move on and find love with someone new,” an insider told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “It’s one of those she can’t live with him, and she can’t live without him, things. Brad and Angie had scorching chemistry and she just can’t handle seeing him with another woman. She definitely gets very jealous.” Oh, we are totally aware of the kind of chemistry that Brad, 53, and Angelina, 41, had when they were still together. Their 10-year romance was fiery from the very beginning — back when they were filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith while Brad was still married to Jennifer Aniston, 48.The kind of passion they had on screen had fans wondering if they had a thing for each other. Those suspicions were confirmed when Brad left Jen for Angie and they embarked on a new life together in which they would have several children (both adopted and biological) and eventually get married.But Angie decided to end that marriage in September 2016 and the two have since been stuck in the middle of a complex divorce and custody battle. With everything that is going on we can see why Angie has complicated feelings when it comes to Brad dating again. “She’s definitely keeps an eye on him and what he’s up to,” the source added. “Besides just not wanting to see him with someone else, Angie really doesn’t want to see another woman come into the kids lives. That would really freak her out.” “For now she doesn’t really have much to worry about, as Brad is focused on the kids, his health, art and his career,” the insider said. “Other than that he just doesn’t have interest in another relationship.” Well, at least we know that she has some time to get used to the idea before he starts bringing women home to meet the kids!
