Angelina Jolie’s Dating Dealbreakers Should Be Obvious to Anyone Watching Her Split From Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie has been focusing on being a single mom over the last few years, and it’s just now that she is putting herself on the front burner — and that means considering her dating life again. Guys shouldn’t line up too quickly, though, because this Oscar winner has a list of dealbreakers that she’s making a priority this time around.

Understandably, she’s a bit shy to test the dating waters amid a contentious divorce from Brad Pitt and she admitted in a recent E! News interview that she has “a very long list [of ‘nos’]” after dealing with her ex-husband’s issues with alcohol and the domestic violence allegations that fractured the family for good. In her next relationship, Jolie will need someone who understands that her six kids, sons Maddox, 19, Pax, 17, and Knox, 12, and daughters Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14, and Vivienne, 12, are part of her “team.” Their close bond has been even more evident over the last few years — they’ve stuck together and by their mom’s side.

I’ve got to make sure they’re mentally OK,’ but honestly, I think a few years ago it switched and they’re thinking, ‘I’ve got to make sure mom’s OK.’”
