Is Angelina Jolie terrified of men because of her past trauma?

Frozen by the emotional baggage of her past, Angelina Jolie keeps men far away from herself and her children. Ten years after splitting from Brad Pitt, the scars from their messy divorce still haunt her, preventing her from pursuing new relationships.

Mr and Mrs Smith’s love story may have been iconic, but what were the emotional fallout following their bitter split in 2019? Not so much. A source told In Touch Weekly, “There’s a reason why Angelina is still single, and it’s not because of a lack of men lining up to date her. The fact is, she keeps them all at bay because she’s so afraid of getting hurt again, like she did with Brad. Ouch. It seems like that toxic relationship left a bigger mark than anyone expected.

It’s been almost ten years since they stopped, but those memories? Still fresh. The insider said: “He has moved on, but she is frozen.” Brad goes to do his thing, but Angie is still stuck in the past. “Unless she finds a way to heal, the scars of their toxic relationship could keep her from ever moving on.” Before Brad, she was fearless and dove into love like it was no big deal. Nowadays? She doesn’t even let her guard down. To trust? Yes, that’s completely broken.

Reports of her meeting with British rapper Akala are doing the rounds. They were spotted hanging out in her hotel suite in London, but some sources say they are not dating. Whatever the status, one thing is certain: Angelina’s relationship approach has changed since her time with Brad.

Let’s rewind for a moment. Angie and Brad met on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005, and their off-screen chemistry made headlines worldwide. After years together, they split in 2016, and in 2019 their divorce was finalized in one of Hollywood’s most dramatic splits. However, it wasn’t just about the divorce. Radar reported that after everything went wrong, Angelina chose to stop dating altogether and focus on her children instead.

But now? Now that the kids are growing up, the possibility of romance is back on the table. But she doesn’t rush anything. “Before she met Brad, she was fearless and quick to embrace love, but now it’s the opposite,” the source added. “It’s clear that her trust in men has been damaged by what happened with Brad.”

Right now, Angelina is living her best life on screen: starring in Maria, a biopic about opera legend Maria Callas, which just debuted at the Venice Film Festival. And while love may be on pause, it’s clear that Angie is still moving forward, just on her terms. Whatever happens, it will be on her terms; no rush.
