Angelina Jolie, the renowned actress known for her powerful roles in films like Maleficent and Tomb Raider, is reportedly facing emotional challenges as she nears her 50th birthday. According to insiders close to the star, Jolie is putting on a brave front but is deeply affected by her ongoing personal struggles.
A source revealed to RadarOnline.com that while Angelina tells friends she’s interested in casual fun with men, she is still emotionally wounded by her divorce and the continuing legal disputes with her former husband Brad Pitt, especially regarding their shared winery business.
The insider described Jolie’s desire to leave the United States and avoid the public eye during this difficult time. The actress’s life has been marked by what friends call a tough eight-year period since her highly publicized split from Brad Pitt in 2016.
“She has been through the wringer and is just exhausted,” the source said, describing a phase filled with loneliness and sadness. Another close confidante shared that Angelina even made a list of “50 reasons to hate her 50th birthday,” highlighting her struggle with the milestone.
The source explained that Jolie feels trapped by the ongoing conflict with Brad Pitt, suspecting he might be using the winery dispute as a form of revenge for their split. “She can’t stop obsessing about feeling tied down by this fight,” the insider added.
This prolonged battle is reportedly draining her emotionally, yet Angelina remains determined not to let Brad have the upper hand. The tension, combined with past trauma from their troubled marriage, has made it difficult for Jolie to trust others and move forward romantically.
“She’s very lonely and finds it hard to trust anyone,” the insider noted. The actress is said to be suffering from PTSD linked to her past relationship, which has affected her ability to find new love.
As she approaches her 50th birthday, Angelina Jolie is said to be stressed, exhausted, and not in the mood to celebrate, struggling to cope with the personal challenges weighing on her.
