Brad Pitt has been promoting F1 for weeks, and his team has been using Angelina Jolie’s name to get some press. Team Pitt recently threw a tantrum about Angelina visiting NYC the same week Brad was in town, and they tried to make it sound like Angelina was stalking him (the opposite is true – Brad keeps tabs on Angelina to a crazy degree). In any case, Angelina isn’t currently promoting anything, but as long as Brad keeps using her name, her people decided to chat with Us Weekly about her summer:

Angelina Jolie is having the L.A. summer of her dreams. Jolie, 50, “is savoring the summer in her hillside home nestled in Los Angeles, a pleasure made all the more special by the presence of her children,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly, noting that the Oscar-winning actress is “embracing” the warmer weather and is “happy” to have most of her kids by her side.

“She may be a huge movie star, filmmaker and humanitarian, but her ultimate and most rewarding role remains being a mom,” the insider explains. “She loves having them all under one roof again.”

Jolie shares six children with ex-husband Brad Pitt: Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16. The source tells Us that her youngest children “are all there” on the west coast with their mom for the summer while Maddox, who spends most of his time in NYC, has “visited.”

As for her personal life, Jolie “isn’t dating” right now, the insider says, and there’s “no mystery man in her life” as she continues to focus on work and motherhood. “She’s single and she seems very content,” the source tells Us, noting that “the kids are growing up so fast, she knows these times won’t last forever.”

The insider adds that while Jolie may be the “epitome of a superstar, at home she’s a regular mom, juggling her career and a house full of kids and dogs who run wild and have free rein of the house.” With a “super chill” parenting style, Jolie isn’t “a helicopter mom at all,” but someone who embraces the “chaos” and “enjoys an unstructured environment” with her brood.

“There are bikes, skateboards, scooters” all around the residence and Shiloh, who recently made her debut as a choreographer at Isabel Marant’s capsule collection with Net-A-Porter last month, even “has her own space to dance and choreograph,” the insider reveals, while “Zahara has a boyfriend.”

“Planning family dinners isn’t even a thing since the kids end up ordering what they want,” the insider adds. “It’s a very relaxed summer with the kids coming and going, basically doing their own thing, which is fine with Angie.” According to the source, the whole family has “things going on.” That includes Jolie, who — when not bonding with her kids — fills her days with “a little bit of work, making calls and prioritizing future projects.”

Sounds lovely and peaceful. Jolie’s kids are now at the age where they can drive themselves around too, and they can socialize on their own, which must be a relief. The kids all seem so close to their mom too, Zahara especially. I also like the subtle rebuffs to Pitt’s PR – no, Angelina isn’t “haunting” Brad, she’s in LA, minding her business with her children who all love her.

Meanwhile, Us Weekly also pointed out that Angelina and Brad’s long-running civil dispute over Chateau Miraval will go to trial next year, and both sides believe that the trial will take about 14-15 days. The trial date still hasn’t been scheduled but I’m pretty sure they’re aiming towards the first half of 2026.
