Brad Pitt Dating Again? Reports Angelina And Brad Called It Quits Two Years Before Public Split

Brad Pitt was reportedly blindsided by his partner of 12 years and her decision to publicly announce her intention to divorce him. Angelina Jolie announced on September 19 that she was filing for divorce for the sake of their six children and from that moment, all eyes have been on the former A-list couple.

It has been challenging times for both Brad and Angelina since the divorce proceedings and custody battle began, and although both stars noted that they only have their children’s best interest in mind, they have been unable to avoid drama. Immediately, an FBI investigation was launched against Brad after an incident involving their 15-year-old son Maddox occurred. The abuse investigation was finalized recently and Brad was cleared. Angelina Jolie, however, insisted that Pitt must be tested for drugs and alcohol four times monthly if he wishes to see their six children.

Brad has complied throughout the tumultuous time yet recently, he requested that their court documents be sealed in order to keep their matters private and to protect their children from any more harm. Angelina countered this motion as did the judge overseeing the case.

At this point, reports state that Pitt may not even have the opportunity to see his six children, Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and 8-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, over the holidays.

Angelina is seeking full physical custody of the brood and is making matters quite difficult for her estranged husband to have time with the kids. The Daily Mail shares about the custody battle that may keep Brad from his children over the holiday season.

“Brad Pitt is still waiting to hear if he will be allowed to spend time with his six children at Christmas. The actor, 52, doesn’t yet know if his children’s therapist is willing to sign off on the holiday visitation. A psychologist who specializes in child custody issues is currently determining the visitation schedule.’Brad hopes to see the kids for Christmas at some point but when hasn’t been determined,’ a Pitt source told the magazine. “

Throughout the final year of the couple’s marriage, there had been rumors that Pitt had engaged in affairs, yet these were all stamped out as false. However, the actor is said to be moving on in his romantic life, so does this mean he has found a new romance to move on from Angelina to? The Inquisitr recently shared that Pitt has begun pursuing women that Jolie had nixed from their inner circle. Seems to be an action of spite on the part of Brad as opposed to true love.

New reports actually suggest that Pitt may have been free to pursue women in the past year or so, seeing as rumors are now swirling that the former A-list duo actually called it quits two years prior to Angelina announcing she was filing for divorce. Radar Online drops this most recent bombshell which would suggest why there were so many allegations over this past year that Angelina and Brad were living separate lives, as OK states.

“According to an exclusive report by RadarOnline.com, Angelina and Brad called it quits after the 2014 Academy Awards, due to Angie’s jealous behavior over Brad’s success with the film 12 Years A Slave, which took home Best Picture. ‘She behaved so badly that night. She wouldn’t let him enjoy the win for even a second.'”

The newly suggested information that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were already living their own lives, certainly does make sense seeing as the pair have not been photographed as a couple for a lengthy time. It was following their efforts in Jolie’s film By the Sea, within which the former couple portrayed a couple struggling in their marriage, that rumors of struggles in their own marriage surfaced.
