Brad Pitt downplays divorce with Angelina Jolie, focuses on new film

Hollywood actor Brad Pitt (61) spoke for the first time after finalizing his divorce lawsuit with Angelina Jolie (49). Although it marked the end of a lengthy eight-year legal battle, Pitt was surprisingly calm.

Pitt recently stated in an interview with GQ magazine’s June issue, "It wasn’t that important. It was just a legal conclusion." Since Jolie filed for divorce in 2016, the two have been in severe conflict over custody and asset partitioning. The lawsuit was concluded last December.

However, Pitt noted, "For 30 years, my dating life has always been in the news. Now, it’s just one of those things that pass by."

Currently, he is dating 32-year-old jewelry executive Ines de Ramon. The couple acknowledged their relationship in 2022 and celebrated their third anniversary this spring. When a GQ reporter asked if their appearance together at the British Grand Prix was their official couple debut, Pitt laughed and said, "No, friend. It’s not that calculated. Life just changes."

Meanwhile, Pitt is set to meet audiences with his new racing film "F1," which premieres on June 27. He emphasized that this film "rekindled his passion" and hinted at a new turning point in his acting career.

The film tells the story of a retired legendary racer who challenges a young promising driver, featuring actors like Javier Bardem and Tobias Menzies. The world premieres will be held in New York and London on June 16 and 23, respectively.
