LOS ANGELES — Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie remains focused on her six children and her evolving film career following the December 2024 finalization of her divorce from Brad Pitt. Despite intense public scrutiny, sources close to the actress confirm that Jolie has not entered a new relationship, choosing instead to prioritize her role as a single mother and her latest professional projects, including the critically acclaimed drama Couture.
A “Single Mom” Focus
Since the legal dissolution of her marriage to Pitt, Jolie, 50, has maintained a private domestic life. A source close to the actress tells PEOPLE that dating has remained at the bottom of her priority list.
“Angie has been extremely busy and focused for the past few years,” the source stated. “Dating hasn’t been important to her. She hasn’t had a boyfriend. She’s pretty much been a single mom since the divorce, so that’s where most of her focus has been.”
Jolie’s primary commitment remains her six children: Maddox (24), Pax (22), Zahara (21), Shiloh (19), and 17-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. The source emphasized that Jolie’s current well-being is tied directly to her children’s success, noting, “She loves being a mom and always wants to make sure that everyone thrives.”

‘Couture’ and Personal Resonance
On the professional front, Jolie is coming off the high-profile world premiere of her latest film, Couture, which debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September 2025.
In the film, Jolie portrays a filmmaker navigating the dual crises of a divorce and a breast cancer diagnosis. The role carries significant personal weight for the actress; Jolie famously underwent a preventative double mastectomy in 2013 and lost her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, to the disease in 2007.
Speaking with Time France in December, Jolie described the project as “a very personal story,” highlighting the intersection of her art and her lived experiences. The film also features a notable collaboration with her eldest son, Maddox, who reportedly dropped “Pitt” from his last name in the film’s credits, signaling a continued distance from his father.
Future Relocation and Real Estate
Recent reports also suggest that Jolie is preparing for a significant lifestyle change. Following the completion of renovations on her Los Angeles estate, the property is currently being shown to pre-qualified buyers.
Sources indicate that Jolie’s residency in Southern California was largely a requirement of her custody agreement with Pitt. With her youngest children, Knox and Vivienne, set to turn 18 on July 12, 2026, the actress is expected to relocate.
“She never wanted to live in L.A. full time,” a source previously noted, adding that plans to move are already in motion for the summer of 2026.

What’s Next for Jolie
While a domestic U.S. release date for Couture has yet to be finalized, Jolie’s slate remains full. Her next confirmed project is an adaptation of the bestselling novel Anxious People.
As she nears the milestone of her youngest children reaching adulthood, the industry is watching closely to see if Jolie’s “career-first” hiatus will transition into a more global philanthropic or directorial phase away from the Hollywood spotlight.
