Brad Pitt Is Ready To Move On After Angelina Jolie’s Divorce Filing? Taylor Schilling And Lady Gaga Are Reportedly On His Radar

Brad Pitt may not be dating anyone quite yet (at least not publicly), but according to a new report, he is allegedly making amends with women he was previously banned from.

As Brad Pitt and his estranged wife, Angelina Jolie, remained locked in what is believed to be a tense custody battle over their six children, a source claims the 52-year-old actor is ready to move on from his marriage and begin interacting with celebrities he was reportedly kept from during his relationship.

“Taylor Schilling, Lady Gaga and even openly gay Sarah Paulson were all on Angie’s blacklist for [Brad Pitt],” an insider told Radar Online of Jolie’s alleged persona-non-grata list.

According to the report, Jolie made it clear that she was no fan of Paulson, in particular, and during production on 12 Years a Slave, she was said to have been “incredibly rude” to the openly gay actress.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s divorce was confirmed in September after just two years of marriage. As fans of the couple will recall, Pitt and Jolie’s relationship began on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, in which the actors played married spies. During production, Brad Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston, but after Aniston filed for divorce, he went public with Jolie. One year later, their first biological child, daughter Shiloh, 10, was born.

Brad Pitt and his estranged wife also have a set of twins, 8-year-old Knox and Vivienne, and three adopted children, Maddox, 15, from Cambodia, Pax, 13, from Vietnam, and Zahara, 11, from Ethiopia.

“He’s ramping up his new social circle and actively pursuing all of the above and more for work and social opportunities,” the source continued to Radar Online.”He’s ready to finally have some fun!”

While Brad Pitt may be ready to start socializing with people he had reportedly ousted in the past, his dating life may be a different story. Although the actor has been linked to the likes of Kate Hudson and Margot Robbie in recent weeks, a source told Hollywood Life last month that he was allegedly not yet ready to embark on a new romance.

“[Brad Pitt] has no desire to date or get involved in any new relationships. He is still stunned and heartbroken over his failed marriage, and feels like it’ll be a long time before he’s ready to love again.”

“His main focus right now is finishing up his work obligations and figuring out how and when he can see his children,” the source added.

Weeks later, a second Hollywood Life source claimed Brad Pitt was reportedly convinced that his next relationship would be with someone entirely different from Jolie.

“[Brad Pitt] is still getting his legs underneath him after Angelina hit him with a wrecking ball, but eventually he will date again,” an insider explained. “One thing is for sure, the next woman he dates will be nothing like Angelina. He was seduced by her darkness and intensity but after years of all the drama he wants to be around positive people. Brad is looking for someone to bring light into his life after all the drama. He just wants it to be easy and loving. At this point in his life he realizes all the other stuff is a waste of time.”

Brad Pitt has been keeping a low profile since splitting from Jolie nearly three months ago, but he did take the time to travel for weeks in an effort to promote his newest film, Allied, which also stars his rumored mistress, Marion Cotillard. Towards the end of his marriage to Jolie, Pitt was linked to Cotillard, but ultimately, the actress denied allegations of a rumored affair on her Instagram page.
