“This thing, called love, I just can’t handle it” the song goes, and it might be right when it comes to some of these Hollywood stars, who don’t seem to catch a break when it comes to love. They say you need to make sacrifices to have a successful career, and while some A-listers manage to maintain a busy schedule and a functioning family, it seems as if others have perhaps put their careers first. However, don’t get us wrong – dating isn’t for everyone, and these Hollywood stars who are enjoying the single life are living proof you don’t need a man to be happy.
Angelina Jolie
Academy Award-winning actress Angelina Jolie was named the world’s most beautiful woman more than once, and somehow, she’s still single; but that wasn’t always the case. Jolie’s dating history stared back when the actress was fourteen years old – that’s when she had her first serious relationship, which lasted two years. The painful breakup is ultimately what encouraged her to dedicate herself to acting. Her next relationship was with British actor Jonny Lee Miller, whom she married a year after the two met. As you can see, when it comes to relationships, much like her career, Jolie doesn’t do things half way, but rather goes all in.
Her most memorable relationship, however, was with fellow actor and co-star Brad Pitt, whom she met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Their affair, which was made public in 2006, stirred a Hollywood scandal, since rumors said Jolie was responsible for the divorce of Brad Pitt and America’s sweetheart Jennifer Aniston. When the nasty rumors subsided, Brangelina became Hollywood’s most glamorous couple. In 2016, however, the two stars separated. It took three challenging years to finalize their divorce and the custody agreements – the two have six children – and so since the divorce saga ended in 2019, it seems as if the actress is not yet ready to jump back on the horse, and she’s currently enjoying the single life.
