Angelina Jolie Is Ready To Dive Back Into The Dating Scene, According To Insiders

The tipster went on: "Whoever she dates next will have to adhere to her rules, though. The kids come first. She also wants to be wooed. Angie has been through a lot since she filed for divorce from Brad. She doesn’t want to jump into anything; she wants to be courted and won over."

Once a high-profile power couple, Brangelina found themselves embroiled in a bitter legal dispute over their joint assets.

Additionally, Jolie filed a separate lawsuit accusing Pitt, 60, of physical and verbal abuse after their marriage ended in 2016. The Eternals star and Bullet Train actor share six children: Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.

Jolie recently decided to withdraw her lawsuit alleging abuse. The Maleficent alum, as per Ok!, "seems really relaxed and happy." An insider also told the publication that Jolie seemed to "turn over a new leaf."

Though Jolie has been striving to move past her marriage and subsequent divorce from Pitt, she recently disclosed that she found it easy to relate to and embody the late opera singer Maria Callas.

Regarding her role in the upcoming biopic about the legendary singer, Maria, Jolie told People: "I don't want to speak too much about it because it's too personal." The Atelier Jolie founder continued: "But there's definitely a loneliness and a work ethic."

Jolie added: "I’m an imperfect person, but I work very hard, and she does too. I may be many things, but I’m a very hard worker, right? It took many months of singing classes and Italian lessons. You try to be precise. I’m making her pain personal to me, and that is certainly very private."

The buzzing forthcoming Pablo Larraín-directed movie will be released in select theaters in the US on November 27th.  Starting December 11th, Maria will be ready to stream via Netflix.
