Pitt’s life turned upside down after Angelina filed for a divorce in September 2016. The two have been back and forth over custody negotiations over their six children. There was also an investigation launched against Brad for reportedly mistreating the children. This was after claims that he had an altercation with his eldest son Maddox on a private jet. He got off the hook a few weeks later after the investigation was successfully concluded.

Brad and Angelina were together for more than 10 years before their marriage ultimately ended up in a highly publicized divorce. Meanwhile, Aniston recently celebrated her 48th birthday by taking a vacation to Mexico with her husband Justin Theroux. The actress started dating her current boo in 2011 and they finally tied the knot in 2015 in a very private ceremony. Things have been quite steady between them since then.
Despite the pressure, and the downsides of the divorce, Brad has maintained a strong presence in the film industry. Not long after his divorce, he showed up for the premiere of his film, Allied which late last year. It was his first public debut after the divorce, which a great thing for his fans because it was the first time that he made a public appearance since the divorce. The divorce proceedings also happened while Jolie was in the middle of some projects, thus forcing her to pause them so that she could handle the divorce proceedings. However, the divorce proved to be quite a tough time for both Angelina and Pitt especially because there were children involved as well as the fact that it also became a media affair.
It is not clear what Aniston’s husband thinks of the rumor that she has been communicating with her ex. However, he most likely understands that it is purely friendship and nothing else is going on between them. So far there has been no report that Pitt has been dating anyone else after the divorce. He has been trying to maintain a low profile especially considering that he is under the constant eye of the press.
