Angelina Jolie's reported new boyfriend: He's not what you'd expect from Angelina Jolie
When Angelina Jolie finally moved on from her nasty, splashy split from Brad Pitt, you would expect her to shy away from dating someone else super-famous.
But you would think her next romantic interest would still be someone whose profession matched her penchant for prestige artistry or international do-gooding: a documentary filmmaker, a human rights lawyer, an Ebola doctor.
But no, Jolie’s choice reportedly is far more home-grown and, well, mundane in an LA way.
Jolie, the Oscar winning actress, UNHCR special envoy and occasional New York Times op-ed columnist, is dating a real estate agent. That’s according to a new report in Entertainment Tonight.
Of course, at this stage, things are still pretty new, which means “it’s not serious,” a source told ET.
But the real estate agent has a few things going for him that would make him appealing to the glamorous 42-year-old actress and mother of six.
He’s handsome, according to a source close to the actress. He’s also “older-looking” and isn’t “a celebrity or high-profile” in anyway. These are qualities that would probably make him relatively down-to-earth — by Jolie standards — and confer on him a maturity and stability that could be comforting to her.
After all, she was “in a very bad place” after her acrimonious split from Pitt in September 2016, ET reported. Their breakup included allegations of drinking and anger management problems — on his part — and led to investigations by child welfare authorities until the couple quietly worked out visitation and other issues. The estranged couple share children Maddox, 16, Zahara, 13, Pax, 14, Shiloh, 11, and nine-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
“Just having another adult to spend time with has been helpful,” the source added.
Things are still difficult between her and Pitt, added The Daily Mail.“Things between Brad and Angie really ended poorly, and while they’ve attempted therapy with the children, they can barely be in the same room together,” a source said.
Because the breakup has forced Jolie to curtail her globe-trotting ways and base herself in Los Angeles — close to Pitt for the sake of the children — there is speculation that her new beau likewise is based in Los Angeles, the Daily Mail said.
The Daily Mail added that his lack of celebrity means he’s not the type of fame-seeking real estate agent who would look to star on the reality TV show “Million Dollar Listing.”
But he could be the type of LA-based real estate agent with a celebrity clientele. In fact, maybe he was involved in settling Jolie into her new house — the $25 million estate in Los Feliz she bought last year that once belonged to legendary director Cecil B. DeMille. Incidentally, Jolie’s mansion is “just down the street” from Pitt’s estate in Los Feliz.
Whoever the real estate agent is, friends are relieved to see her happy for a change, ET reported.
She also seems to have settled into enjoying her day-to-day life. She is often spotted out and about in Los Angeles, usually with one of her six kids in tow, doing ordinary-people things like shopping at a neighborhood Whole Foods or going to the movies — including, reportedly, the new Tomb Raider reboot, starring Alicia Vikander in the iconic role that Jolie made famous in 2001’s “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” and the 2003 sequel.
But fans should get over the idea that Jolie and Pitt will reunite. “It will never happen,” a source told ET. The 54-year-old actor is quietly and casually going out on dates, but mostly getting out to spend time with friends, ET added.
