Angelina Jolie’s New York single life isn’t what she expected. She thought love would come easy in the Big Apple, but her negative outlook and high standards are getting in the way. “Angelina has spent most of the year in New York, with plans to make it her permanent home. She’s done with L.A.,” an insider reveals. “But she can’t make the move until she settles custody and visitation issues with her ex, Brad Pitt. It’s a long process.”
The exes have been battling for custody of their minor children – twins Vivienne and Knox, 15, and Shiloh, soon to be 18. Their other children – Zahara, 19, Pax, 20, and Maddox, 22 – are adults and not part of the dispute. Jolie, 48, thought a change of location and a new love interest would help her move on from her legal issues with Pitt, who she claims is trying to financially ruin her.
As the producer of the Broadway adaptation of The Outsiders, Jolie hoped to find potential partners in the theater crowd. But according to the source, “nothing has worked out.” The source adds, “She’s extremely selective and carries a lot of baggage from her relationship with Brad. She’s also very guarded and intense. It’s difficult for her to open up to anyone. It feels more like a job interview than a date. And if she does find someone she likes, she has a long list of rules and NDAs for them to sign, which isn’t the norm.” Consequently, she’s faced a significant lack of interest. The insider claims that no single men have been able to meet her strict criteria.
