Angelina Jolieis opening up about her divorce fromBrad Pitt.
The 44-year-old actress called her split from the actor “a complicated moment,” telling French magazineMadame Figaro, “I didn’t recognize myself anymore.”
Pitt, 55, and Jolie married in 2014 and filed for divorce in 2016 after first meeting in 2004. The couple shares six children: daughters Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and Vivienne, 11, and sons Maddox, 18, Pax, 15, and Knox, 11.
The actress, who stars in the upcoming filmMaleficent: Mistress of Evil, told the outlet that while she doesn’t know what her destiny holds, she is in a “period of transition, like a homecoming, a return to [herself].”

“I had lost myself a bit,” she explained of the moment when her “relationship with Brad was coming to an end.”
During the couple’s separation, Jolie said she felt “smaller, almost insignificant, even if it wasn’t necessarily obvious,” adding, “I felt a deep and genuine sadness, I was hurt.”
However, the star expressed that having the chance to “reconnect with this humility and this insignificance” has helped to point to the good things she has in her life.
“All these things settle in you and remind you of how lucky you are of being alive,” Jolie explained.
