F1 – It cost more than $ 200 million and took three years to do it, it marks a return to the form for Pitt, who built his career in ticket office as a World War Z and Try. It has a large number of new projects in the works, including the 2019 sequel Once upon a time … in Hollywood (by which he won an Oscarscar) and a movie and docuseries about motorcycle racing with Channing Tatum. He also goes on horseback personally: at the end of 2024, after a bitter eight-year battle, he and ex-wife Angelina Jolie completed their divorceand he and his girlfriend over two years old, jewelry designer Rayon of Ramon35, they go strong. “Brad is in a good place,” says Pitt source.
It took some work to get to -there. Pitt revealed in 2017 that he had achieved sober and began therapy. “He has done a lot of therapy over the years,” says a second source of Pitt. The work has been a stabilizing force. (His production company, Pla B, keeps it occupied by the stage and also launches a new line of clothing this month through his true luxury mark of Cashmere, which co -founded with Holistic Healer Stat of stat)). Their Gq Interview, revealed some wisdom gained to refine noise and focus on What matters. “My life is quite contained,” he said. “I feel quite warm and safe with my friends, with my loves, with my hunger, with my knowledge of who I am.”

And yet the shadow of a dark cloud climbs to the distance. Five of Six children Share with Jolie (Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19 and 16 -year -old twins, Vivienne and Knox), have publicly distanced him from him (Shiloh Legally left its name on the 18th anniversary; Zahara and Vivienne It also seems to be “jolie”. In 2020, Pax shared an Instagram publication from which he called Pitt a “world class hole” and Maddox dodged questions about repairing his relationship with Pitt in 2019).

The strangers occurred in the midst of Pitt’s brutal legal trailer with Jolie, 50, due to custody problems and his French winery, Miraval castle (The $ 164 million property struggle continues in independent demand; a trial is expected to begin next year.) In court documents submitted in 2022, Jolie alleged that a drunkenness Pitt assaulted and verbally abused her and two of her children during a journey aboard a private plane in 2016.

Despite some detractors, by 2024, Older He directed an article called “Why we cannot stop Brad Pitt”, in which his lasting appeal was questioned, considering the accusations of Jolie’s abuse and the fact that he dropped First wife Jennifer Aniston For Jolie in 2005, it has not been canceled.

((Us He previously reported that De Ramon moved to the House of Los Feliz de Pitt in early 2024; He told her Gq Its public debut at the 2024 British Grand Prix was not “calculated”, adding, “life only evolves. Relationships evolve. “) The second source says Pitt is” cautious “to marry again after his disorderly divorce from Jolie. However, he has” proven it their commitment In Enes, “the source stands out.” It is very comprehensive and (they) are on the same page.
