Could Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Be Rethinking Their Divorce?

Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may be considering a reconciliation in the future as the estranged couple have pressed pause on their divorce proceedings.

Nearly a year after the  42-year-old A-list actress and U.N. Goodwill Ambassador filed for divorce from her husband of two years and partner of 12, Us Weekly reports that things have come to a stand still.

“The divorce is off. They haven’t done anything to move it forward in several months and no one thinks they are ever going to.”

It was also gathered that the actress is second-guessing the divorce and willing to take back the ‘Allied’ star if he “showed he’s committed to raising a family.”

In an interview, the actor, who confessed to GQ Style he was “boozing” so much that he “could drink a Russian under the table with his own vodka,” gave up alcohol cold turkey.

In the May cover story, Brad noted he’d been sticking to cranberry juice and fizzy water for the prior six months.

“I was a professional. I was good. [But I didn’t] want to live that way anymore,” the actor told GQ in reference to his drinking habits.

As he fought for joint custody of their six children, Brad, 53, also faced his own parental shortcomings.

”I grew up with a father-knows-best/war mentality — the father is all-powerful, super strong — instead of really knowing the man and his own self-doubt and struggles.

And it’s hit me smack in the face with our divorce: I gotta be more. I gotta be more for them. I have to show them. And I haven’t been great at it,”

the two-time Golden Globe winner, raised in a conservative home in Springfield, Missouri, said to the interviewer.

Now that Pitt has quit drinking and started working on himself, these, in turn, warmed Jolie.

“A lot has changed since Angelina filed,” a source notes, adding that Pitt’s sobriety has “really changed” their relationship. A separate insider adds, “Brad has been working on self-improvement.

Things can change quickly,” the source adds, “but they aren’t pursuing the divorce at this time.”

You will recall that in Jolie’s original divorce filing from last September, she cited “irreconcilable differences” and requested sole physical custody of their kids, allowing Pitt visitation rights.

In Pitt’s response to the filing, he asked a judge to grant joint physical custody of Maddox Jolie-Pitt, 16, Pax Jolie-Pitt, 13, Zahara Jolie-Pitt, 12, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, 11, and twins Knox Jolie-Pitt and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 9.

In December, a temporary custody agreement was reached that granted Jolie custody of the kids and Brad “therapeutic visitation” rights.Brad also agreed to partake in weekly individual therapy sessions and participate in random drug and alcohol testing.
