Angelina Jolie Opens up About Her Divorce From Brad Pitt: “It’s Been a Difficult Few Months”

Angelina Jolie is speaking out for the first time since announcing her divorce from Brad Pitt.

During a press tour for her new film First They Killed My Father, the 41-year-old finally addressed her ongoing divorce drama with her estranged husband. Although she chose not to reveal many details about their split, she opened up about how her family is coping.

“It’s been a difficult few months,” Angelina told the BBC. “Right now I’m going through a moment where there’s just, everybody’s in my room. Two hamsters and two dogs and two children at the moment. It’s wonderful. So usually I just wake up trying to figure out who’s going to get the dog out, who’s gonna start the pancakes and did anybody brush their teeth.”
