In a rare and candid reflection, Hollywood icon Brad Pitt has opened up about the emotional aftermath of his highly publicized divorce from Angelina Jolie, revealing a profound transformation in his outlook on life.

According to a recent report by Page Six, sources close to the actor say that the split has shaped much of his recent years. “The divorce has controlled Brad’s life for years,” an insider shared. “He loved Angelina and knows he made mistakes.”

🔥 From Hollywood's Golden Couple to Years of Legal Battle

Nicknamed "Brangelina," Brad and Angelina first met in 2004 and became one of the most admired couples in Hollywood. They tied the knot in 2014 but separated just two years later. Over the course of their relationship, the couple became parents to six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox, through both adoption and birth.

However, their fairytale came to a crashing halt in 2016 when Jolie filed for divorce, citing emotional and physical abuse allegedly carried out by Pitt aboard a private jet. What followed was a grueling eight-year legal battle over custody and personal matters, which finally concluded on December 31, 2024.

💬 “There Were No Winners”

Despite the resolution, the emotional toll remains deep. One source said, “It was an addictive cycle of division. No one came out as the winner.” The actor reportedly harbors deep regret about his strained relationships with his children. “The kids have turned their backs on him, but Brad doesn’t blame Angelina for it,” the source added. “He wants to reconnect with them, but it may be too late.”

🕊️ Sobriety and a New Outlook on Life

The divorce appears to have been a turning point for Pitt’s personal growth. Since then, he has embraced sobriety. “Everything has changed since the split,” the insider confirmed. Brad Pitt’s journey toward healing has involved deep reflection and a commitment to change.

This rare glimpse into the emotional world of one of Hollywood’s most iconic figures paints a sobering picture: fame does not shield one from pain, and even the most glamorous love stories can carry profound sorrow and lessons.
