Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Careers: Is One Jealous Of The Other’s Success?

Former power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been appearing in the gossip mills regularly since their high-profile divorce. Rumors have linked the “Maleficent” star to other actors such as Chris Hemsworth and Bradley Cooper, whereas reports about the “Ad Astra” actor rekindling his romance to Jennifer Aniston also circulated for a while.

While all those rumors have since been debunked, the gossip mill hasn’t run out of stories about Jolie and Pitt. The latest one shifted focus from their respective love lives to their acting careers and even suggested that one might be jealous of the other’s recent success.

A recent report from the National Enquirer hinted that Jolie might be a bit resentful of Pitt’s comeback as an actor. “She can’t handle this incredible comeback he’s made, despite her best efforts to tear him down,” the publication quoted an unnamed insider.

The tipster even claimed that Jolie would react negatively when she sees Pitt’s face on a billboard around town. “She’s not even hiding the fact that she’s bitter,” the seemingly suspicious source continued. “You only have to drive past a billboard in Hollywood with his face plastered all over it and her lip visibly curls.”

Gossip Cop didn’t buy into National Enquirer’s report at all. The fact-checking site contacted a source close to the actress, who confirmed that the report was baseless and that Jolie isn’t jealous of Pitt’s success.

This is for an obvious reason — her career is on an upswing as well. For instance, her movie “Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil,” which is set for release later this month, is expected to be a big hit, just like the first one. She also has three films in postproduction, and she’s still filming the Marvel film “Eternals.”

Meanwhile, Pitt made a comeback this year with the huge success of “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood,” where he stars alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. His other film to be released this year, “Ad Astra,” was also well received by critics, which could mean that his name might be a contender for awards later on.

Exes Willing To Compromise

No, it’s not about Pitt and Jolie rekindling their romance, if that’s what fans were hoping. But the good news is that they’re no longer at each other’s throats and that a compromise might soon be reached.

“They've both decided to try and put their differences aside and to do whatever they can to raise the kids in the healthiest environment possible,” E! News quoted a source. In addition, the tipster even added that while Pitt and Jolie might not necessarily agree on everything, “they have had to find ways to compromise” for the sake of their children.
