New stepdad for the kids? Angelina Jolie is already talking marriage with a new guy, so it’s safe to say that her dating life post-divorce from Brad Pitt is moving quickly.Even though it’s clear the mother-of-six is eager to find a new man, she is still taking it slow in one regard: She hasn’t introduced him to her kids. “Though she realizes Brad will always be their father, Angelina still wants to make sure her kids like and accept her new man,” a source close to the fam revealed to In Touch.The 41-year-old has a steep task ahead of her as winning over six children doesn’t sound easy. Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Shiloh, 10, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 8, have grown up knowing only Brad as a father, and Angie is still waiting for the right time to make the big move.“Initially, Angelina was hoping to wait until the divorce with Brad was settled,” the source said. “But now she may introduce her new man to her children L.A. in the next few weeks. She’s especially concerned that he bonds with Maddox and Pax.”Her concerns are understandable considering, according to the source, her teenagers have had a strained relationship with their father ever since he allegedly got into an altercation with them on a plane.While Angelina is eventually planning an introduction between her new man and her six kids, this is not something father Brad is ready for. As In Touch previously reported, Angie’s new relationship was a shock to Brad and “caught [him] completely off-guard.” "The idea that another man will be spending time with his kids is absolutely sickening and disheartening," said the insider. "Brad hasn’t met Angie’s man, doesn’t want to meet him, and considers him an interloper in his family." Though she’s attempting to reboot her love life, the Oscar-winning actress did open up about the hardships of ending her more-than-a-decade-long relationship with her hubby, who she wed in 2014. "It's been a difficult few months," Angelina said to the BBC. "Right now I'm going through a moment where there's just, everybody's in my room. Two hamsters and two dogs and two children at the moment. It's wonderful. So usually I just wake up trying to figure out who's going to get the dog out, who's gonna start the pancakes and did anybody brush their teeth." Though it’s been a rough road, the Mr. & Mrs. Smith star is mainly concerned with her children’s happiness.“Many people find themselves in this situation. My whole family — we’ve all been through difficult times. And my focus is my children, our children — and my focus is finding this way through," she revealed. "As I said, we are and forever will be a family, so that is how I’m coping. I’m finding a way through to make sure that this somehow makes us stronger and closer.” Well, we hope the bunch likes her new man! he couple met on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2003 while Brad was still married to Jennifer Aniston. Although they tried to keep their attraction under wraps, their love blossomed."I think a few months in I realized, 'God, I can't wait to get to work,' " she told Vogue in 2006. "Anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. We just became kind of a pair."

The Real Reason Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Called It Quits Finally Revealed

Angelina Jolie shocked the world when she filed for divorce in September, and fans have been wondering why she called it quits with Brad Pitt ever since. After months of speculation, the real reason behind the couple’s divorce has finally been revealed.According to The Hollywood Gossip, early reports blamed Pitt’s altercation with his oldest son Maddox on a private plane as the reason for the split. The fight was reportedly so bad that the Tomb Raider star immediately removed Pitt from her life. That narrative has been at the forefront of breakup theories, until now.Ian Halperin’s new documentary on the couple’s split claims that Jolie’s strange relationship with her brother was the real cause of the divorce. Jolie and her brother, James Haven, have shared some awkward and strange public moments together, but it was his constant presence around the family that drove Pitt and Jolie apart.“James was so close to them that he was actually living with them,” Halperin revealed during the promotion of his new movie, Broken: The Incredible Story of Brangelina. “It put Brad over the edge. Brad gave Ang the ultimatum; it’s him or me!”Halperin also discussed the fight between Brad Pitt and Maddox, but claims that the couple’s marriage was already in shambles at that point. Not only was their relationship doomed for failure, but Haven was the first person Jolie called after the plane incident.“The rumor is that she reached out to James while she was on the plane to call child services, but I haven’t seen the smoking gun on that point,” Halperin explained.Jolie and Haven’s controversial past includes a time when they kissed each other on the red carpet. When it comes to the infamous kissing incident, Radar Online reports that Halperin admitted that he explores incest rumors in the film. He concludes, however, that Jolie and Haven did it as a publicity stunt and nothing romantic was happening between the siblings.Even still, Halperin credits Haven’s influence in the family’s life as the main reason they split up. “Then the conclusion is amongst experts ‘No wonder they split.’ Here we are more than a decade later and James is living with them full time. Ultimately it was too close for comfort for Brad,” he concluded.Halperin added that Pitt was uncomfortable with how Haven wanted to spend so much time with the kids. Pitt wanted to take a hands-on approach with the children but often found Haven in the way. Indeed, Haven’s influence remained constant even after Jolie filed the divorce papers last fall.“Fast forward to present day, Angelina and James are as close as ever, and to this day they work together in the best interest of the kids,” Halperin explained. “Now Ang is saying they are working together to raise them, but the damage between them is already done.”That said, Pitt and Jolie are getting along better. According to E! News, the two have been actively co-parenting while the media was distracted by their heated custody battle. In fact, not only did Jolie recently call Pitt a great father but he also flew to Cambodia to spend time with the kids during the promotion of Jolie’s film, First They Killed My Father.An inside source revealed that Pitt took the children for a quarter of the time while they were in Cambodia. The rest of the time the kids stayed with their mother, who was busy promoting her new film. Reports also indicate that Jolie and Pitt are starting to communicate again as their divorce continues in a private court.Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have not commented on Halperin’s revelations.

A woman from Hales Corners, Wisconsin looks so much like Angelina Jolie that people are literally unable to tell them apart. 34-year-old Melissa Baizen, who describes herself as an "ordinary" mother-of-two, claims that she is often "overwhelmed" and "embarrassed" by how much attention she receives because of her uncanny resemblance to the Maleficent star. Baizen even says she has been given a small taste of what it must feel like to be a Hollywood A-lister due to the number of strangers that regularly approach her for photos and autographs.The optical manager admitted that she is normally critical of her appearance. However, she is always flattered by the comparison to Angelina Jolie."I do get recognized. I get stared at quite a lot," she said according to Daily Mail. "I find it funny. It's quite surreal. She has always been an idol of mine. It's crazy to be compared to her."Melissa has great admiration for the 41-year-old Oscar winner. Baizen even dressed up as Jolie's Maleficent while attending the Bristol Renaissance Faire last year and she seriously looked like Angelina Jolie's identical twin."I have dressed up as Maleficent before for the Bristol Renaissance Faire and a lot of people were coming up to me," she said. "It's quite overwhelming. I get a taste of what it's like to be her. It's nice and I'm sure you would get used to it but I don't think it's on the cards for me. I'm just a normal girl." Baizen says that her favorite Jolie films are The Changeling and Beyond Borders."I have looked up to her quite a lot. I like her movies but I admire her most for her humanitarian work."While many others can't help but notice Melissa's strikingly similar looks to that of Jolie, she often doesn't feel quite as stunning as the famous actress."I've always been hard on myself. Some days I see it but others don't think I look like her. I wish I had her smile, I hate my teeth."One trait that Melissa feels is a stark contrast to Jolie is her "personality.""My personality is completely different but a lot of people say I really look like her. I think I'm probably a bit more animated than her and not so serious."Just as Melissa doesn't always love the attention, she added that her partner definitely isn't comfortable with it."I don't think my partner likes all of the attention," she said. "He's okay with it but I think he does get a little bit jealous he would never say it but I think deep down he does."

Chelsea Handler: Jennifer Aniston Doesn’t Care About What’s Going on With Angelina Jolie

Jennifer Aniston has better things to worry about, well, at least according to her bestie Chelsea Handler. The comedian, 42, opened up in a new interview about her friendship with Aniston, 48, and said that the Friends alum doesn’t really care about what’s going on in the lives of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.Speaking with the U.K.’s You magazine, Handler defended Aniston against “crazy” rumors that she spends her time harping on Jolie’s split from Pitt, 53, whom the Maleficent actress, 41, filed for divorce from in September.“I don't think Jen cares about what's going on, and it's crazy that people think she does,” the former Chelsea Lately host told the publication about Aniston. “As if she's sitting around caring about [Angelina Jolie]. I know I don't.” This isn’t the first time Handler has shaded Jolie since her two-year marriage and more-than-decade-long relationship with Pitt fell apart. On a September 2016 episode of her Netflix series, Chelsea, the New Jersey native took aim at the Academy Award–winning actress. “There are reports that part of the problem was Brad was allegedly drinking and smoking too much weed,” she said of Pitt, who shares Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 8, with Jolie. “I wonder why he needed to self-medicate. Maybe because he could have been spending the last 12 years at Lake Como hanging out with George Clooney and Matt Damon, instead of being stuck in a house with 85 kids speaking 15 different languages?” Aniston was married to Pitt from July 2000 until October 2005. After her high-profile romance with the Fight Club hunk ended, the Cake actress was linked to several famous men, including Vince Vaughn and John Mayer, before she fell in love with husband Justin Theroux, whom she wed in August 2015.
