Angelina Jolie officially ended her marriage with Brad Pitt around 17 months back in September 2016. Dealing with the financial settlements and custody arrangements can be tiring for the talented actress, especially since they have requested an extension for the process. Recently, the 42-year-old actress seemed somber as she walked down the stairs of a building in Los Angeles.
In a more solemn demeanor, Angelina Jolie was spotted in Los Angeles gracefully making her way down a set of stairs, donning an all-black ensemble. The famous actress split from Brad back in September 2016, following an incident on a private plane while traveling abroad.
The divorce, initially expected to be settled quickly due to their relatively short-lived marriage, has unfortunately been drawn out. Reports suggest that both Angelina and Brad have sought therapy together, including sessions with their six children – Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne.
The 42-year-old actress seems to be in no rush to finalize her divorce from Brad Pitt, as they have been in ongoing private negotiations. Just last week, they were granted court approval to continue these discussions.
Always stylish: The activist appeared fashionable in her attire while attending meetings. According to a recent article by The Blast, Jolie and Pitt were granted court approval to extend their private divorce negotiations. The actress and the star of Troy, aged 54, requested to prolong the involvement of a ‘temporary judge’ in their divorce proceedings. They have been engaged in private discussions to address custody and asset distribution. Jolie was seen sporting high-waisted slacks and striking a chic pose as she attended meetings last Tuesday.
Continuing to find a middle ground: Jolie and Pitt were recently granted approval to prolong their private divorce discussions. This was observed back in November 2015
She paired stiletto heels with a spaghetti strap top, a knee-length coat, and oversized designer sunglasses. Completing her look was a designer purse hanging from her shoulder.
In a recent interview with Elle magazine, she shared the advice she imparts to her daughters Shiloh, Zahara, and Vivienne.
“I advise my daughters, ‘What distinguishes you is your willingness to help others. Anyone can wear a dress and makeup. It’s your intellect that truly defines you,'” she stated.
The Tomb Raider actress was spotted enjoying a day out with her children – Shiloh, Maddox, Vivienne, Pax, Zahara, and Knox – at the Louvre in Paris in late January. When asked about her parenting approach, the By The Sea director emphasized the importance of her children discovering their own beliefs and values and standing up for others to ensure everyone has the same freedoms. Angelina’s perspective on life changed when she visited Cambodia in 2001 for her role in Tomb Raider, leading her to work with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and co-found the Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative in 2012. Recently, she discussed her ongoing advocacy against the use of rape and sexual violence in armed conflicts with former Secretary of State John Kerry for Elle magazine. In a more laid-back setting, Angelina Jolie was seen having a blast with her kids at the National Board of Review event.
In a recent interview, the director of By The Sea shared that she encourages her children to explore their own identities and beliefs. She crossed paths with Kerry in April 2013, while he was serving as Secretary of State, advocating for action to combat sexual violence in conflict zones. She remains optimistic about the collaboration between men and women in making a difference for women’s rights on a global scale. Reflecting on the struggles women have faced to reach the current state of progress, the director of First They Killed My Father emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, education on rights, and solidarity with women worldwide. She is determined to continue her advocacy against sexual violence in conflict, believing that there is still much work to be done.
In a recent photo, the 42-year-old actress Angelina Jolie was captured with two of her six children. She was also seen signing autographs outside the Annie Awards.
Angelina expressed her thoughts on violence against women, stating that it is still treated as a minor offense. She highlighted how some countries discuss sexual violence more openly and have leaders actively working to address it. Over 150 countries have pledged to end impunity for rape in war zones, with new teams supporting prosecutions and gathering evidence.
During her visit to Kenya last summer, Angelina witnessed UN peacekeeping troops undergoing new training to address the issue since peacekeepers have been part of the problem. Efforts are being made to train, protect, and increase the number of women in the military with the help of NATO. However, there is still a long way to go.
Angelina recently graced the cover of Elle magazine in honor of International Women’s Day on March 8. This issue, the first to be published under ELLE’s new editor in chief Nina Garcia, will be available on newsstands from February 20.
Advocating for her causes: Jolie holds a press conference following her visit to Midyat Refugee Camp in Turkey, where she met with Kurdish, Arab, Turkmen, and Ezidi refugees in 2015. Angelina Jolie also addresses NATO on the issue of crimes against women.
