Brad: Dating Again!

As Brad Pitt finalizes his messy split from Angelina Jolie, he’s celebrating single life by spending time with the ladies.

Though he’s been single(-ish) for almost three years, Brad Pitt has spent the bulk of the time separated from soon-to-be ex-wife Angelina Jolie staying under the radar. Not anymore, says a source close to the star: Boosted by the buzz surrounding his new movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, “Brad’s finally back to his old self again — but not the married, henpecked Brad.” Star’s insider reports that the 55-year-old actor is reliving the 1990s, where he was widely considered to be one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors — but with one notable difference: “Back then, he didn’t take advantage of it.”

A year after the demise of his highly publicized engagement to Seven costar Gwyneth Paltrow in 1997, Brad jumped into a relationship with Jennifer Aniston, eventually tying the knot in 2000, then left that five-year marriage for his Mr. & Mrs. Smith costar. But now, with his divorce from Angelina almost final, Brad’s letting go of the tied-down life and finally embracing the benefits of being single.
