Despite ongoing legal disputes with his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, it seems Brad Pitt is “living his best life” in Los Angeles.
When he’s not producing and starring in movies like Bullet Train or running his winery in France, a source tells People that Pitt is getting back into the dating game. “He has a large group of artsy friends in L.A. that he hangs out with,” the source said. “He’s dating, but is not in a serious relationship.”
The actor also makes a point to spend time with the children. While a judge declared Pitt and Jolie legally single back in 2019, they share six children: 20-year-old Maddox, 18-year-old Pax, 17-year-old Zahara, 16-year-old Shiloh, and 14-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox. “Brad has dinner with his younger kids when they are all in L.A.,” the source said. “Since the kids are older now, they have their own life and friends. Brad still has a pretty good relationship with them.”
The source continued, “Brad has his movies, he has [Château Miraval] and he has these other [passions]. He loves architecture, he loves creativity. He’s living his best life under the circumstances.”
Some of these “circumstances” include Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s legal battle over Château Miraval, the French winery and estate they purchased together in 2008 (the property was also the location of their wedding in 2014). Pitt is currently fighting against Jolie’s decision to sell her shares of the company to a “stranger.”
In June, Pitt filed a claim alleging that Jolie “sought to inflict harm” after the couple agreed to never sell their shares in the vineyard without telling the other first. “Jolie pursued and then consummated the purported sale in secret, purposely keeping Pitt in the dark, and knowingly violating Pitt’s contractual rights,” Pitt’s team wrote in the filing obtained by People.
However, Jolie’s lawyers suggest this is a “false narrative.”
“After the events that led to Ms. Jolie filing for divorce and her years devoted to caring for their children, Ms. Jolie and the children have not been able to return to the property, and she made the difficult decision to sell her stake in the business,” an anonymous source told People. “After making multiple offers to her ex-husband, and knowing the business will be inherited by their children, she found a business partner with experience in the alcohol industry…. It’s unfortunate that after she properly and legally exited the business, Mr. Pitt is entangling her in multiple lawsuits.”
Lawsuits aside, a winery in the south of France would make for the perfect date spot, especially if it’s not co-owned by his ex-wife.
