Angelina Jolie Reportedly Ready to Date Again, Has Strict Criteria

Angelina Jolie appears to be embracing a new chapter in her life, with friends suggesting she is finally ready to re-enter the dating scene after a decade since her high-profile divorce from Brad Pitt.

Jolie, who has recently been seen in New York City, is reportedly looking for a new partner. An insider told the Daily Mail that New York will serve as a base for her as she travels and explores the world. The actress is said to have a "very strict list of requirements" for any potential suitor. "In her heart, Angelina is more a New Yorker than a Los Angeles person; she feels more like herself in New York City where she is not really recognized as much," a source told the publication.

She has not had a public relationship since a rumored fling with singer The Weeknd in 2021. Her last public relationship was with Brad Pitt, from whom she filed for divorce in 2016. The couple finalized their divorce in 2019, and have since been engaged in a protracted legal battle, particularly concerning their shared business ventures.

Jolie shares six children with Pitt: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox.

Beyond her personal life, Jolie also plans on expanding her fashion venture and living a more nomadic lifestyle. She was recently seen enjoying a photoshoot in New York City, where she appeared to be in good spirits.

Jolie was previously married to actor Jonny Lee Miller from 1996 to 1999. Miller also resides in New York, and the two have reportedly remained close friends.
