Brad Pitt is ‘much happier’ now, a year and a half after Angelina Jolie filed for divorce

Here are some photos of Brad Pitt at a Dodgers game this week. He didn’t have a “date” nor did he bring any of his kids, although I think he was there with a couple of dude-friends. It must be nice to be a handsome white guy, right? All of your sins, flaws and transgressions are wiped away so eagerly. It’s been a year and a half since Angelina Jolie gathered up all six kids and fled an LA airport and never looked back. She filed for divorce, and she and Brad still haven’t worked everything out. Brad still doesn’t have custody of the kids – Angelina has taken them to England, where she will be filming Maleficent 2, and I guess there’s nothing he can do about that. And the headline is not “Brad Pitt Still Doesn’t Have Custody of His Kids, 18 Months Later.” No, of course not. The headline is “Why Brad Pitt Is ‘Much, Much Happier’ A Year and A Half After Split from Angelina Jolie.”

Brad Pitt is “more like the old happy and charming Brad” a year and a half after separating from Angelina Jolie, an insider tells PEOPLE in the latest issue. The 54-year-old actor has been in high spirits recently as he’s slowly made his way back into the spotlight — and started dating again, according to multiple sources — after taking time to focus on himself.

“Separating was very sad and shocking to him, but he started taking care of himself again,” adds the insider. “He seems much, much happier.”

Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, and she and Pitt are still negotiating the terms of their divorce and custody of their six children—Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 11, and 9-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. As Pitt moves on, that he’s starting to date again.

“It took him a long time to date, but he is now,” says the insider. “There hasn’t been any talk about a special someone, though.”

Still, he may have already found someone he connects with. The actor has been spending time with renowned architect Neri Oxman, 42, after getting to know each other through an architecture project at MIT, where she works as a professor of media arts and sciences at the school’s Media Lab.

While a Pitt source has maintained they’re “just friends,” they’ve met up a few times since the fall and the insider notes Pitt has been flying frequently to the East Coast. He dropped by one of Oxman’s classes last fall and was spotted at MIT again a few weeks ago.

Thank God Brad Pitt is doing fine, HE was the one everyone was worried about, not the minor child whom he physically confronted when the minor child tried to get Brad to stop drunkenly screaming at Angelina. Even with Brad’s public mea culpa in GQ last year, where he publicly discussed his alcohol issues and his destructive tendencies, people still want him to be the victim here, and we’re supposed to embrace the “thank God Brad is doing well now” story.

Meanwhile, Entertainment Tonight had a story about how Neri Oxman is Brad’s Most Perfect Unicorn.

Brad Pitt and MIT professor Neri Oxman’s relationship may be strictly platonic, but a source tells ET that his friends definitely approve of the accomplished architect. Last week, Pitt made headlines for his friendship with 42-year-old Oxman, though sources tell ET the two are not romantically involved. One source says the two were introduced through a friend who thought Oxman would be the perfect person to help Pitt with some of his architectural questions, after the 54-year-old actor took up sculpting following his 2016 split from Angelina Jolie.

“They hit it off immediately and have been close for months,” the source says of Oxman and Pitt. “They have so much in common intellectually and truly enjoy each other’s company. [Pitt] is thrilled to be around someone who isn’t all about Hollywood. He talks about her attitude toward fame and the A-list scene and he feels her apathetic view is refreshing.”

The source says Oxman is a hit with Pitt’s pals.

“Brad’s friends were secretly hoping he was ready to date and everyone loves Neri,” the source says. “She is beautiful and smart and his friends feel he can’t go wrong.”

According to our original source, Pitt has been really happy lately, focusing on his healthy lifestyle and immersing himself in new creative hobbies.

“Brad is spending time in a music studio learning to play the guitar and sing, and he actually has been creating sculptures and studying architecture,” the source says. “He is truly finding himself.”

[From Entertainment Tonight]

Whatever. I can’t keep up with all of this sh-t. At this point, it’s clear that Neri Oxman is along for this ride, which makes me think that they really are dating and have been for a while.

    He is starting to resemble Tom Cruise. They must share the surgeon

  2. Millenial says:

    Remember when he pulled this crap on Jennifer Aniston, too? And went on and on in interviews about how unfulfilled and miserable he was with her? Seems like the common denominator here is Brad Pitt.

    I’m really disappointed that it doesn’t seem he’s focusing on his kids at all. They should be his top concern.

    • Capepopsie says:

      Exactly What I’m thinking too!
      Sad.

    • ChrissyMS says:

      Does he see his kids on the regular? Away from Cameras? I always wonder. Why has he never been photographed with any of rhem since the separation?

    • Darla says:

      Well, what I remember most is how that became the one truth to Bragelina stans. I never bought it. But a lot of people not only bought it, they put a ring on it.

    • NotSoSocialButterfly says:

      I find him repulsive.

      • Lela says:

        Me too, he’s going Tom Cruise here, abandoned his children and started a new life with a new woman. This PR play has just solidified my boycott on all things Pitt. I just hate how the media still drags Jennifer and Angelina into this and it’s always poor poor Brad, he’s the loser here not them!

    • fiona says:

      Really? He made ONE comment in 12 years about his marriage to Aniston. One….comment. He did NOT go ‘on and on’. It was Aniston that went on…and on….and on….and on……and on. She even said her 30s (when she was married to Brad) I quote “blowed”. What about the crap Aniston pulled on him, stalking, making passive-aggressive comments, dissing her time with Pitt, on and on and on and on and on and on and ON! For almost twelve years! Pitt made ONE…..COMMENT. Get the facts and reality lined up.

    • Veronica T says:

      Yes! And that really bugged me and he did it to make Jolie look so much better and exciting than boring Jen A.
      I never followed Jen A’s career, never saw Friends, but I thought he was crappy doing that to her. Comes out later that all he did was sit on the couch smoking weed whrn married to her. With Jolie, he drank. Of course, he will eventually blame her and those kids for that.
      Coupled with his creepy relationship with a 15 or 16 year old when he was in his mid-20s? He is a jerk.

    • Milla says:

      I admire his pr machine. He made every woman he dated look like she lost sth when they broke up. Also, they are damaged, he is a catch… meh.

      • .. says:

        So true. It would be funny if it weren’t so scary. And abusive. And textbook narcissistic

    • citney says:

      How anyone can still have respect for this man/child, I’ll never understand. He’s disgusting.

  3. Booie says:

    He’s happier without her and not having custody of his children? Then what’s the hold up on the divorce?

    • SK says:

      The thing that gets to me that is if a MOTHER lost total custody of her children for two years and was off having “me” time and focusing on herself then NO ONE would EVER report that she is “happier than ever before” and “back to her old self” etc etc etc. They would be harping on about what a terrible mother she is, how selfish she is, her “abandonment” of her children and so on and so forth. Why is it that a man can go be completely selfish and we’re all supposed to be thrilled for him that he’s back to his old self and happier than ever? Most parents don’t have a whole lot of time to focus purely on themselves and what makes them happy. If they did they’d all be happier in some ways – I mean, time to spend sculpting and figuring out what you want to do?? That’s a luxury the majority of parents don’t have. However, GOOD parents would be pretty miserable without their kids in their lives on a very regular basis. So my take is he is selfish, he has always been selfish, and he continues to be selfish and I refuse to give him a pat on the back for being this way.

      • JENNIFER says:

        @SK exactly. The headlines if the roles were reversed in this situation…Angelina’s reputation would NEVER recover!

      • SK says:

        Oh my god @JENNIFER can you imagine? If she was off riding motorbikes and sculpting vases and watching sports and “working herself out” while poor martyr Brad was looking after the kiddies all the time? She would be painted as the most evil woman ever.

      • On most other sites I read – she actually IS vilified on the regular and the last week with the new woman roll out has been really awful. I can’t count the number of times I have read the term “Heroina” in the last few days…this truly is the only forum (gossip wise) where she gets a break.

        Let’s not kid ourselves, his PR is working as well as it always has.

      • citney says:

        You said it, SK, he is one selfish man.

        Thank goodness those 6 children have Angelina as their Mother.

    • ChrissyMS says:

      Did he actually lose custody or do we just not see him papped with the kids? I have never been clear on that.

      • Booie says:

        These kids get followed by photographers even when they are without their parents. We’ve seen images on Shiloh with her younger siblings on their own with just their bodyguards. How is it that they are never seen going to their dad’s house where they supposedly see him privately? Also, do you really think when they visit dad they stay cooped up inside the house all day?! That dodgers game the other night: his kids love the dodgers. You’d think he would take them if he had joint custody of them. Nope. But still the first point is enough to disprove the latter argument to me.

      • Lela says:

        He did loose custody, there were several reports on people that he was only allowed visitation while being monitored by a child psychologist. Also interesting that the media hasn’t focused on how Brad met up with Neri on thanksgiving weekend, which was Pax’s birthday. This man did not bother to see his own son on his birthday but rather met up with his new fling.

      • Sage says:

        I think he has visitation only.

        The real story, is Brad is not working while Angelina is working and still has all six kids living with her in London. The kids should be with him while their mom is filming for the next 3 months. The new girlfriend rollout is deflecting from that headline.

      • BrandyAlexander says:

        I don’t think it’s actually settled yet. The divorce isn’t, so why would custody? I think they agreed for visitation in the meantime for him. And I think he probably does see his kids, but doesn’t take them out to get papped. If he really lost custody, “sources” from both sides would be out in full force crowing and whining about it. Remember all the sources saying she was keeping the kids away from him at the start of it all? There are none of those anymore, which tells me he sees them regularly.

      • Booie says:

        @brandy,

        The last “brad is happy and healthy” article from people from his “sources” prior to all of this mess with the professor, that talked about the kids said that he still has supervised visits. Supervised. This was just a couple weeks ago.

        She’s off to London soon with the kids. They’re not staying with him while she works because he can’t be alone with them without supervision. There is nothing “regular” about this situation. The reason we don’t hear about him not having custody is because it doesn’t look great on his side at this point.

      • BrandyAlexander says:

        @booie I have never seen anything about supervised visits recently. Granted, I only read about it on this site, but every article I see says “sources” say he gets visitation. But I don’t even care about that. All I was saying is that I don’t think final custody has been decided since the divorce hasn’t been. It seems like everyone agrees that he does get visitation. In fact, if they are supervised, it makes more sense that he’s not papped with them, as I would imagine supervised visits are held in a controlled environment (but I don’t even think they are supervised).

      • citney says:

        Pitt never had a problem taking Chris Cornell’s kids out to be papped right after their father committed suicide. I can’t see him having a problem taking his own children out in public if just to prove he does see them and improve his tarnished image.

        My guess is, he cannot take the children anywhere without therapists being with them at all times, and he’s not about to publicize that fact.

  4. minx says:

    Oh, brother.

  5. Tulip Garden says:

    Why does this surprise people? Divorce is often messy. A almost two year custody battle even more messy. I hope both are moving on with or without partners.
    I’m kind of sick of hearing about it. Let me know when something surprising happens. Not a guy or girl dating after this long.
    Speculate away on child custody cause that’s so healthy for all.

    • LadyT says:

      I agree. It’s bringing out the very worst from a lot of posters. I believe I’ll just steer clear for a while.

      • AnneC says:

        Also agree. Always amazed at how much some of these posters think they know about celebrities personal life and willing to say terrible things based on conjecture.

      • Joy says:

        You mean like how @LadyT spent months accusing Angelina of alienation etc with no evidence? She’s no different from the rest of us and has said some pretty nasty things about Angelina, so please spare us the sanctimony

      • LadyT says:

        I have criticized her. I have not accused her of alienation or stooped to nasty comments— ever. Apparently some fanatics can’t tolerate any criticism of Jolie and stoop to trying to discredit those of us who do with lies and defamatory accusations.

    • ORIGINAL T.C. says:

      It just seems forced to me. Like “look people, I’m really happy, don’t I look happy?” Who is he trying to convince? And it’s weird to be the father of 6 children while promoting your new happiness without them. But I’m happy he is happy, LOL. I guess we will go another social well-being check in 6 months?

      • citney says:

        It does seem as if his PR agent is taking cues from Aniston’s PR guru.

        Is there going to be a headline every year informing the public how “happy, happy, happy, Pitt is? Please spare us, JA’s pity party was revolting enough to last a lifetime, no one needs this from a 54-year “man”. (I use the term “man” loosely)

  6. Mj says:

    Always the victim, always the one that does whatever he wants with zero consequences, while Angelina and Jen are/were dragged through the media. Angelina is this horrible woman who lured him into marriage and having children and you know he had no choice. Jen was the horrible woman who wouldn’t give him kids, so of course Brad had every right to dump her. No mention of his children anywhere, but I’m so glad Brad found his perfect match, so much better than horrible Angelina, and is now so much happier. Gosh I’m so sick of him.

  7. Allison says:

    He does look much better lately.

  8. Louise says:

    Neri is a grown woman. She doesn’t need us worrying for her. Whatever to the both of them. Their lives, their choices. Perhaps she really does want to date “Brad Pitt” for a while.

  9. ChrissyMS says:

    He looks good. Fresh!

  10. Peg says:

    I laugh when people say he was cleared in the investigation, so why did the children need such intense therapy and Brad don’t have 50/50 custody almost two year later.
    He is rich and can afford the best attorneys, guess you can’t buy children services, plus all the children can relate to therapists how they feel about their parents.
    It’s all about Brad, he really is a PR, ho.
    Some folks were waiting with bated breath, for the stories to come out about Angelina being a drug user, alcoholic and a bad Mother, but it looks like the golden boy fits all the things that were said about Anenlina.
    For a man that talk so much about wanting children, it sure look like he was all talk, thank goodness the children appear to be doing alright and growing like weeds,

    • JENNIFER says:

      MTE. I think he does see them privately, but custody is not going his way or else the kids would not be in England with their mother, if he was such a competent good father they could stay with him while she is working. But instead he is “truly finding himself” by spending his time doing whatever he wants.

    • .. says:

      I don’t think they see him. You can’t buy kids that’s for sure. If they don’t want him around ….he won’t be around. Can’t fake a real relationship with your kids.

  11. Milavanilla says:

    I just can’t with this white male privilege bs. The woman who had the guts to take her children away from an abusive situation is still the one people vilify and yet, Mr. Mean Drunk gets so much sympathy and gets to bs another woman into his unwillingness to work through stuff like a responsible adult. Didn’t he say he was also smoking tons of pot at the end of his relationship with his first wife? He turns to harmful escapist behavior when things get tough. Beautiful man child.

  12. All lies says:

    Nothing to say about his improved relationship with all of his kids? Like he’s doing better with them overall? It’s like it’s not a priority for him. They are not to be talked about cause he’s so private but details about his new love are coming out on a daily basis. It’s pathetic to see him in this way. AJ is indeed better off without him. Their poor kids to have a father like him. Guess you can’t choose where you are coming from but hopefully they will be like their mom who is a kind person and her purpose in life is to be useful.

    • Norah says:

      angelina is better off without him for sure. let him find a new woman etc and leave angelina and the kids alone. what a faker he turned out to be.

  13. Flipper says:

    He’s smearing the mother of his children. What a classy guy (sarcasm).

  14. JENNIFER says:

    I feel like some of these pro Brad comments have got to be part of some Make Brad Great again campaign…

    Team Angelina. I am probably probjecting A LOT on their situation. I have also had children with a toxic addict that liked to spin the details about our relationship. In his circle, I’m probably seen as a villain, having kept the kids away from a good father who only wants to love his children and I should just get over my vendetta. However, HE was the driving force of the dysfunction, abusive and straight up evil and cruel, almost destroyed my career and outside relationships. He was extremely dangerous and violent at times, so yes for a long time I refused to let him have visits unless he was supervised by his own mother out of concern for my children’s safety, nothing more. And then when we went to court for his 30k child support debt! LOL I’ve never seen such acting. Literally crying to the judge about his struggles, when he literally laughed in my face about not paying the support for years. His current girlfriend has been convinced he only withheld support because of my insistence that he have visits at his mother’s (btw he was couch surfing with criminals for most of those years), and that I am the real wrong doer. Publicly, I never tell anyone about his bad behavior. My kids had to be in therapy for a while too, and they still believe their father isn’t as bad because I refuse to bad mouth him (he sometimes uses his time to rewrite our history to make me look evil to the kids, that’s fun). I do carefully correct certain things if it’s important, but usually I just have to tell them I will explain when they are grown.

    All of this to say, I believe the more Brad spins, the more I see him as my psycho ex. Lol. But seriously. Good luck to the next woman. These men. They can be total sh!t and still people will be like “he just wants to be a good father NOW!” “He looks so good!” “Good for him for moving onto the next victim!”

    • osito says:

      I just wanted to say that I believe you and support you. I know that doesn’t mean much coming from an anonymous internet stranger, but I still mean it. I am currently supporting a friend through a similar situation, and she was *so afraid* that no one would believe her that she hid her partner’s destructive behavior for a long time. You seem like such a strong, selfless mother, for giving your children the opportunity to build a relationship with their father that is separate from your marriage; so many can’t do the same when there are far less serious grievances at hand. You children will admire and respect you for this when they’re ready to understand the truth of what happened between you and your ex-husband.

      And, projection or not, I agree with your assessment of Pitt: sure, it’s been his job for a long time to manipulate the public’s perception of him, but I think his subtle digs at his ex-wives indicate a much more toxic personality lurking beneath his cultivated persona.

  15. Fa says:

    “It took him a long time to date, but he is now,” says the insider. “There hasn’t been any talk about a special someone, though.”

    Really? she is not special, then why they are overselling her.

    • citney says:

      @Fa

      LOL, so very true, the overselling of Ms. Oxman when he supposedly isn’t involved with her seems absurd.

  16. JRenee says:

    I wouldn’t get bent out of shape over this and more articles like this to follow. These rags don’t have enough to write new articles about the architect, so these will keep popping up because they sell..

    • citney says:

      Shouldn’t this woman be putting a stop to this preposterousness, especially since his “sources” says he is not involved with anyone?

      Does she like the attention she’s getting? From everything I’ve read about her and seen how many photo shoots she does lounging in unnatural positions on strange looking furniture, she does indeed seem to solicit attention where she can find it.

  17. kate says:

    The Page Six article that claimed he had custody of HW while Angie had the kids was really spot-on.
    It’s going to be a a new Tom-Suri Cruise situation when the mom suddenly divorce, the dad is never seen with the children and the public is just supposed to go along with the ride, like everything he’s fine and it’s totally normal than a man, who debuted his first bio kid on the cover of People with his partner, now apparently one sees his children in private.

    • citney says:

      @kate

      I hope “HW” will stay lovingly by Brad Pitt’s side in the future as he lies on his deathbed.

  18. Karen says:

    Maybe everyone is doing better. The kids seem to have a more stable home life. They are not traveling constantly and not with fighting parents. Not important who “won” Angie or Brad.

  19. Sansa says:

    Anglelina is a Astro Gemini and her nature tendencies will be divided, and I think she loved Brad and this split hurt her. She has said it’s difficult and not what she wanted for herself. This I suspect is what is at the heart of the situation is Where while Angelina has the kids most of the time she still had control her family. Brad seems like the beacon of passive aggressive CO partner hence anything Angelina wants is ok with him vs fighting publicly for the children. He is in between a rock and a hard place of his own making, probably getting tons of therapy and hence he is moving on. Angelina hopefully will move on be happy with how things turned out herself.

  20. TW says:

    I don’t necessarily disagree with the comments here about Brad. But I don’t buy the Saint Angelina narrative either. Her humanitarian work is to be commended but it doesn’t mean she can’t be messy in her personal life. Both PR teams are working overtime.

    • Fa says:

      She is not a saint, but she merit respect.

    • Joy says:

      But Angelina doesn’t have a PR team. Anyone that says no one is messy in life in some capacity is silly. Again so many if you miss the point, Angelina has never portrayed herself as some saint.Most of the things we know about her , drug use, mental health issues etc all came from her. Are people not allowed to grow , evolve and become better versions of themselves without people on the internet claiming they think they are Saints or being fake?

      That’s why so many of us, her old school fans became fans in the first place because she was honest, real and messy & we identifued with that. Having said that , Angelina doesn’t owe us her truths, she owes no one but her kids the truth about her personal life with regards to what happened in her marriage etc. We the public are not entitled to it, IF she wants to share we will listen. She doesn’t have to be less of a person to make people on the internet feel better about themselves

      • BrandyAlexander says:

        Just stop with the “no PR team”. She hired a crisis team that included the real life Olivia Pope when she filed for divorce. What exactly do you think that team’s job is other then to spin PR her way? She’s a person just like the rest of us. She’s done a lot good in her life, but let’s not act like she doesn’t occasionally get help too.

    • Joy says:

      @Brandy, I didn’t dispute that she hired Judy Smith, but Judy hasn’t worked for Angelina since I think early 2017 if even. She said it herself in the THR interview she did in November with Scott Feinberg, when he asked if it was true that she doesn’t have a publicist or a team in place and she answered yes, “I’ve had them for emergencies and such in the past but it just never works out and I don’t why.” So there. I think we all know the divorce qualified as an emergency & a crises team standard in such situations , as I guess she had more important things to worry about like her children’s wellbeing at the time to handle it herself or she just wanted professionals on it. But her actual current team is made up of her entertainment lawyer Robert Offer and her UTA agent his name escapes me right now. She left her long time manager Geyer, so that’s literally her team right now.

      Oh Angelina handles her PR herself and she’s very good at it. Yeah I’m not one of those fans that think she’s a lamb, I live for Angelina’s PR, there’s nothing wrong with a woman in charge and in control of her life and career and doing what needs to be done. I was merely rightly pointing out that she doesn’t have a publicist or a PR team not that she doesn’t spin and she’s allowed.

      • BrandyAlexander says:

        At least you do admit she works with people. The divorce is ongoing, so it would stand to reason she is still working with PR people. I just think she chooses her words carefully to make it seem like she doesn’t. But there is no way her manager and attorney don’t handle PR for her too. Look how her lawyer went after Vanity Fair asking them to retract her own words. She definitely doesn’t handle it all herself. And that’s not even a dig on her – these people are professionals, she should employ them as far as I am concerned.

      • Joy says:

        I’m not sure how else I can say she handles it herself, if you can’t handle the thought that Angelina is smart enough to handle her own PR very succesfully then I don’t know what to say to you & has been for many years. Like I said she used the words I do not have a team when asked. She likely chooses her words very carefully so she doesn’t feed the sharks and give stuff away , when people are so quick to put words in your mouth or misinterpret your words to suit whatever narrative/ agenda they’ve decided on.

        Her lawyer went after VF because that’s his job and Robert has been with her a very long time & like Holly did when she worked for her likely multitasks when required. Again she does not have a manager anymore and I’ve never gotten the impression her agent is overly involved in her affairs like Geyer was. Angelina has never misrepresented herself, I’m not sure why she’d start now and suddenly pretend she doesn’t have a team when she has one especially as well this divorce isn’t at crises point anymore. There are many many publicists in L.A. if she wanted one she’d get one.

  21. Ophelia says:

    I’m glad he looks happier after the separation. Jolie looks happier after separating from him too. They stuck together longer than they should, maybe trying to weather her surgeries and what not, but at least they realized that they’re just not meant to be together.

    I really believe that Jolie is happier being mother without the added issue of being wife.

  22. Meg says:

    It will be long until we see photos of him with Maddox…

    • Norah says:

      i think that maddox will never be seen in public with brad again. dont forget that maddox is angelina’s first child and they are very close so i think he has seen angelina being hurt by brad –

  23. Jadey says:

    Its pathetic that all these write ups about him is saying that he deserves to be happy dating someone now after the devastation he got when Angie dumped him. And we need just to forget that what happened to him was all his fault.

    I believe, Angie still loves him even when their marriage became difficult, but she loves her kids more. Yeah, we saw him lose weight a lot and became gaunt after the split but Angie also suffered and even had bells palsy. But she coped because she had to care of the 6 kids, while Brad had only to take care of himself, and yet he allows these kind of write ups from his camp dissing the mother of his kids but promoting her new woman, so the public can accept them.
    I believe he is always protecting his career, his last few movies didnt do well in the box office, even the Netflix one wasnt that good, he needs to make sure that Ad astra will do better, so he cant afford to have a bad publicity because he has a new GF now.

  24. Sage says:

    Good for him!

    But, why are all the kids with Angelina in London while she’s working ? They should be with him, no?

    I think he gave up on joint custody.

    • Carmen says:

      @Sage: I don’t think Brad ever wanted joint custody. That was just to make him look like a concerned dad. I think he’s quite content to dump all the day to day parenting responsibility on Angie while he goes around living his life free of any restraints and doing whatever he wants to.

      I think he’s cut his birth family loose also. In all this time, not a word from the senior Pitts, ever since he and Angie split up.

      The one works the other looks after the kids was BEFORE they split. With Pitt’s problems, no court would put the kids in his care for months at a time.

    He’s getting annoying, really. He should know better then stop feeding the press with these meaningless articles, considering his kids are all old enough to read them. Not cool Brad :/ .

    Also, he just seems resentful, no matter what article it is, there’s always shade towards Angelina.. and honestly, SHE doesn’t deserves it.

  26. Dizzy says:

    Actually I’m always miserable when I’m in a relationship. I finally figured this out at the age of 52. I guess I have something in common with Brad. Of course my therapist says it because I don’t know how to be in a relationship. Some people never figure it out, sadly

  27. Anastasia says:

    Why are all these stories coming out? Is it two stories a day??? Ridiculous. All I know is someone is trying REALLY hard to convince people of Brad’s happiness. So it’s probably lies.

    Angie’s much happier too Brad…

      Angie looks MUCH less stressed and while she is still thin, she looked like she was really ill for a while – gaunt to a scary degree. She looks much healthier now- her weight, her skin, her hair.
      Living with an alcoholic who obviously had some violent tendencies (and I don’t for one second believe the airplane incident was the first time he was violent. Reports said AJ wasn’t the one who reported him, another adult did. It is easy to normalize abnormal behaviors in those we love) especially if you still love him, trying to hold it together for 6 kids, publicity, travel, two careers – I can’t even imagine the stress she was under. She is well rid of him since he wouldn’t get help for his disease of addiction.

    because their truth, his truth doesn’t sell movie tickets.
    sad.
    true.

    More than the Oxman woman who IMO seems to love the attention and the spotlight a bit too much, and after watch her Ted I really don’t think she’s as brilliant and charming as his PR team is desperately trying to sell, I’d worry more about Brad’s company in that Dodgers game. That red haired guy next to him is powerful and super connected scientologist Mike McGuiness, his father is a big wig Judge, he’s also the owner of the celebrity dating app Raya, which is basically a high escort service for celebs and given his ties with scientology and the Mastersons I would say not really clean and innocent at all. He’s a shady character.

  31. Penelope says:

    Wow, Brad’s looking great!

  32. Jenn says:

    Can you imagine if all Six kids were living with The Dad (Pitt) and on a goddamn other continent at that-
    and they did this article about how the Mom (Jolie) was so much happier (sans kids) and you know just learning guitar and singing and dating and stuff, so great!

    It would never happen, a mom like that would be seen as the worst parent ever.

    The sex hypocrisy sickens.

  33. All lies says:

    A parent’s greatest responsibility is meeting his child’s needs. He failed.

  34. Carmen says:

    @ladida: Angie looks like a weight rolled off her since she left him.

  35. Fa says:

    He is using the same narrative and techniques Clooney used when his teams were overselling Amal. They have the same agent who told Clooney Amal was the one.

  36. Britt says:

    I guess quitting drugs and alcohol had nothing to do with him being happy now. Lol

    • Norah says:

      he sd have done that before if he loved his family liked he said he did – he is going the george clooney route with a wanna be pr woman
