Angelina Jolie and Akala dating rumors continue to circulate online amid claims that the “Maleficent” actress has also been sighted flirting with Chris Rock. However, a new report suggests that the PTSD from her chaotic marriage to Brad Pitt has destroyed her ability to love again.

Sources told The National Enquirer that Angelina remained single for a reason, and it is not because of the lack of men lining up to date her. The truth is, the “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” actress is keeping her distance because she is terrified of getting hurt again the way she did with Brad.

“It’s nearly a decade since they split up, but she’s still frozen. Unless she can heal, the scars of their toxic relationship may prevent her from ever moving on,” an unnamed insider told the entertainment news outlet.

Insiders claimed that Angelina sparked romance rumors when she was spotted chatting with Chris at Atelier Jolie in New York City recently. The Sun reported that Brad’s former wife was also seen with Akala, whose real name is Kingslee James McLean Daley, on a trip to Jamaica for the Calabash Literary Festival and at the London Premiere of her new film, "Maria."

Angelina was allegedly fearless and quick to let love in before she met Brad. However, now, she is the complete opposite. It is reportedly palpable that the “Eternals” actress’ trust in men was destroyed after what she went through with the “Troy” star.

For years, Angelina used her children as an excuse not to get serious with anyone. Now that they are grown up, the “Come Away” actress insists she doesn’t care and is happy being single.

Despite this, no one believes this. The informant added that Angelina is so damaged that she may never trust anyone again.

Aside from divorce, a lawsuit alleging abuse and litigation focusing on a disagreement regarding a winery that the former couple used to co-own are also among the things that Angelina and Brad are fighting over in court right now.

However, It was recently reported that the actress who won an Academy Award has withdrawn one of the lawsuits she had filed against her former partner. As a result, she is said to be attempting to start a "new chapter" in her life, which may involve incorporating additional romantic relationships.

In the year 2021, the veteran of “Tomb Raider” filed a lawsuit against Brad, accusing him of being violent toward his wife. One of the most critical aspects of the complaint was an alleged event in 2016.

According to The New York Times, Brad allegedly verbally and physically harassed the actress and their children when they were traveling. Early in October, it was reported that the actor from “Wanted” had decided to withdraw the lawsuit against Brad, who had previously disputed the allegations.
