Angelina Jolie is getting candid about her dating life.

The Oscar-winning actress, 51, revealed in a recent interview with Yahoo Entertainment that she has not been in a romantic relationship since splitting from ex-husband Brad Pitt in 2016.

"To be candid, I haven't dated since I divorced a decade ago," she shared. "So I kind of get in my head that that aspect of me is not centered in my life if I'm focusing on my children, my family."

Jolie and Pitt married in 2014, and they share six children: twins Vivienne and Knox, 17, daughters Shiloh, 20, and Zahara, 21, and sons Pax, 22, and Maddox, 24.

The "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" actors separated in 2016, leading to years of divorce proceedings playing out in court. Jolie has accused Pitt of physical abuse, including during a highly publicized incident on a plane in 2016 where he was allegedly violent toward her and their children. Pitt has denied the allegations.

For years, Jolie and Pitt have also been engaged in a legal battle over Château Miraval, the French winery they once owned. Pitt filed a lawsuit in 2022 alleging Jolie's sale of the property to an investment firm was unlawful. The actress' attorney, Paul Murphy, recently told USA TODAY that she is "looking forward to defeating the case at trial next year so that their family can finally focus their energies on healing and moving on."

"I think my fighting spirit is finally back," she told the outlet. "I lost it for a bit. I got kind of taken down a little bit and it's coming back in large part thanks to my children, who are now older, and encouraging it."

She continued, "My kids are almost all 18, so now they want to see me traveling the world, they want me to get out and do things. They know me more than anybody, and they still like me, which says a lot. I think they’re very encouraging of me kind of getting back to aspects of myself that maybe I hadn't felt as free to do."
