Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's divorce was finalised five years ago, and the couple separated three years before that. Yet, Angelina has remained single all this while. If a new report is to be trusted, it is because of the 'scars of their toxic relationship', which have 'frozen' her. (Also read: Angelina Jolie says, ‘I’m imperfect’ and feels ‘loneliness’)
Why Angelina keeps 'men at a distance'
In Touch Weekly quotes a source close to the Tomb Raider actor, saying, “There’s a reason Angelina is still single, and it’s not for a lack of men lining up to date her. Fact is, she keeps them all at a distance because she’s so terrified of getting hurt again the way she did with Brad.”
Angelina is 'frozen' in the relationship
The source notes that 'It’s been nearly a decade since' they separated, but the unpleasant memories of the relationship still haunt Angelina. “He’s moved on, but she’s frozen. Unless she finds a way to heal, the scars of their toxic relationship may prevent her from ever moving on," says the source, adding, “Before she met Brad, she was so fearless and very quick to let love in, but these days she’s the complete opposite. She just refuses to allow herself to be vulnerable, and it’s obvious that her trust in men has been destroyed by what she went through with Brad.”
