Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been divorced for four years, but they are still being linked to each other through their respective careers, their relationships, and their children.

This week, Celebrity Insider published a story about Jolie possibly being jealous of Pitt’s success and his recent Oscars win. The publication claimed that Pitt has been more successful than his ex-wife in recent months. However, they also said that Jolie is able to star in “The Eternals,” and she is expected to make a major comeback in Hollywood.

The publication isn’t the first that speculated on Jolie’s possible thoughts about Pitt’s success. Earlier this year, Radar Online claimed that Jolie is jealous of Pitt’s movie success so she’s trying to steal his spotlight. Both premises are unlikely to be true.

Jolie and Pitt were successful actors even before they met each other on the set of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” This also means that they have separate careers and were never in competition with each other.

After their divorce, it is more unlikely for Jolie and Pitt to be competing against each other because there’s absolutely no reason for them to do so. In the past, Pitt has also gushed over his ex-wife and revealed how proud he is of her.

“I am very proud of her. I remember the morning she woke up and said, ‘I’m going to write something,’ and six months later, she’s shooting. I know what it means to her and the people of the country and uniting people on both sides. It’s no small feat,” he told Access Hollywood in 2012.

Two years later, Jolie told E! News that she’s very proud of Pitt and have always felt this way towards the “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” star. This statement proves that Jolie was never jealous of Pitt’s success while they were together and most especially after they got divorced.
