Hollywood star Brad Pitt has admitted to suffering from depression after his painful divorce with fellow big-screen actress Angelina Jolie.

Both Hollywood giants have had quite the journey from costars, to lovers, to parents, to spouses and eventually to exes. Pitt and Jolie, who were one of the most famous celebrity couples when they were together, have often made headlines for numerous reasons after their split.

They got married in August 2014 before splitting in September 2016 due to irreconcilable differences.

Soon after his separation from the actress, Pitt’s mental health was reportedly affected. The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star’s fans thought he was feeling suicidal.

But, in an interview, Pitt assured fans he’s coping with the divorce from Angelina, joking: ‘I’m not suicidal.’

‘I’ve got no secrets. I’ve got nothing to hide.’

In another interview, Pitt reassured fans he is not suicidal and has come to accept the fact divorce is part and parcel of life.

The 53-year-old actor told Associated Press, “We’re human and I find the human condition very interesting. If we’re not talking about it, then we’re not getting better.”

At present, Pitt and his ex-wife are embroiled in a legal battle for custody of their six children, Maddox, 15; Pax, 13; Zahara, 12; Shiloh, 10 and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

The former couple had a scandalous start to their romance when they appeared together on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2004, while Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston.

Both Pitt and Jolie were together for nearly a decade after falling in love.
