In a rare conversation about her personal life, Angelina Jolie says she “hasn’t dated since” divorcing Brad Pitt a decade ago—while reflecting on how her role in Couture shifted her thinking about love and balance.
Angelina Jolie is making room for romance again, at least in her own mind.
In a recent interview with Yahoo Entertainment. the 51-year-old—who stars in the new film Couture—spoke candidly about her dating life after her divorce from Brad Pitt. The timing is striking: it’s been a decade since the Girl. Interrupted star filed for divorce. yet Jolie says her approach to dating has stayed deliberately quiet.
“To be candid, I haven’t dated since I divorced a decade ago.”
Jolie didn’t frame that as a moral decision or a grand reinvention. Her focus. instead. turned to family—and to the way her priorities have shaped what she’s allowed herself to want. She explained: “I kind of get in my head that that aspect of me [dating] is not centered in my life if I’m focusing on my children. my family.”.
Couture became the pivot point. Jolie plays a filmmaker and a mother dealing with a breast cancer diagnosis during Paris Fashion Week. Within the story, her character is romantically involved with a cinematographer played by Louis Garrel. She said stepping into that dynamic changed how she saw her own life.
“It took me a second to say, well, she can also love her daughter and be dedicated to her daughter and also need this as a woman and receive this as a woman.”
For Jolie. the takeaway wasn’t about abandoning motherhood—it was about widening the picture so love could fit alongside it. That shift lands with extra weight because of how closely her private life has been watched over the years. Over recent years. she’s been linked to several names. including Broadway star Justin Levine. British rapper Akala. and even The Weeknd.
Jolie’s new comments don’t confirm anything about those rumored connections. What they do confirm is that, in her own telling, dating hasn’t been part of her reality since she and Brad Pitt went their separate ways.
A decade after filing for divorce. her words place the spotlight on the same tension many parents recognize: how to keep devotion to family while also remembering there’s a self beyond it. And in Jolie’s case. that reminder came not from headlines—but from a role that asked her to imagine love without letting go of motherhood.

So she hasn’t dated… ok but what about all those “sources” that swore she was with The Weeknd lol
Idk why people care that much. She’s literally a movie star, she can date or not date whenever. Also “Couture” sounds like some fashion show plot, not really love advice.
Wait I thought she dated Justin Levine like last year? Or was that Akala? I’m confused because the internet was saying something else. Maybe she means she didn’t “date” like publicly? Either way she’s doing fine I guess.
This feels like PR tbh. She says she hasn’t dated since the divorce, but rumors have been nonstop since forever, so which is it. Couture changing her mindset for love? Sure, like a movie therapy session. Also she said focusing on the kids, which is whatever, but people act like you can’t have a relationship and be a parent at the same time…
