          Angelina Jolie's love life has remained a bit of a mystery since she split from Brad Pitt in 2016. While she has been linked to several men over the years, she has rarely ever spoken about her dating life - until now. Jolie lifted the lid during an interview with Yahoo Entertainment - admitting she has not dated in 10 years.  'To be candid, I haven't dated since I divorced a decade ago,' she told the outlet while promoting her new film Couture. 'So I kind of get in my head that that aspect of me is not centered in my life if I'm focusing on my children, my family.' Now 51, Jolie is open to reassessing her approach to life after being put through the wringer in a way that has 'broken' her 'a little bit.'  'So yes, things are changing, but in a way I didn't expect. It doesn't feel like I'm 51 and starting to think of being older. I'm thinking I have to live again. Be free again,' she also told the magazine. 'In a way that maybe life has broken me a little bit.' While Jolie has been single since her split, her ex Pitt has been dating actress Ines de Ramon since 2022.Jolie and Pitt's split devolved into a bitter, eight-year long divorce battle that finally ended last year.  The former power couple separated in 2016 after two years of marriage (but a total of 11 years together) and their divorce was finalized in 2024. After the divorce, a source said Jolie wasn't in a rush for anything 'serious' at the moment. 'It's hard for her to trust men after what she went through with Brad,' a source told Us Weekly. 'She hasn't sworn off men, but she's not looking for anything serious right now.' The insider added that the Malificent star 'doesn't think she'll ever get over the trauma' of her relationship with Pitt, reinforcing that 'she's not looking for love right now.'Jolie and Pitt, 62, share six children: three biological—Shiloh, 20, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 17—and three adopted—Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, and Zahara, 21.A source close to Jolie previously described the divorce process as a nightmare for her and her family.'These last eight years have been such a horrendous time for her and her family,' a different source told People. A source close to Pitt, however, pushed back on Jolie's claims, telling People, 'Jolie has engaged in one-sided attacks for the past eight years, including a never-ending distortion of facts and projecting their own behavior onto others, causing tremendous collateral damage to those in and around the family.' The former couple, famously known as 'Brangelina,' signed off on their divorce paperwork in December 2024. Jolie's attorney, James Simon, told DailyMail.com that the actress is relieved to have closed this chapter. 'Frankly, Angelina is exhausted,' Simon said at the time.  'More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time, she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family,' he added.
