Angelina Jolie is no stranger to juggling countless responsibilities, but the pressures in her life are mounting. As she navigates a whirlwind of professional projects, including her hopes for an Oscar nomination for her film Marie, Jolie is also contending with significant personal challenges—namely her son Pax’s recent accident and her ongoing contentious divorce from Brad Pitt.
According to an insider, Jolie is “really spinning so many plates right now.” The source told In Touch, “She’s in the middle of this campaign behind the scenes to get an Oscar nomination for her work on Marie, plus she’s producing a bunch of new projects and fighting tooth and nail to beat Brad in court.”
The source elaborated on the hectic nature of her life, stating, “She’s in meetings morning, noon, and night. The moment she wakes up until her head hits the pillow she’s all systems go.”
Despite her intense professional commitments, Jolie is also devoting much of her time to caring for her son Pax, who was involved in a frightening accident in July. Pax crashed his electric bike into a car near their Los Feliz home in Los Angeles, suffering hip pain and a head injury. Paramedics rushed him to the hospital, where he was treated and released in August.
The incident has added to Jolie’s overwhelming stress, but she remains deeply involved in her son’s care. The insider shared, “She’s not relying on a big staff of medical people, she’s doing a lot of the hands-on stuff herself because as his mother she wants to be as involved as possible.”
However, the source also pointed out that this scare has not led Jolie to back down from her battle with Brad Pitt over the custody of their children. “You’d think this horrible scare might get her to back down from her fight with Brad, but if anything, it’s made her more determined to win and expose him for the jerk she says he is.”
Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in September 2016, citing irreconcilable differences and seeking full custody of their children. Although the couple was declared legally single in 2019, their divorce and custody battle remain unresolved.
The toll of these challenges is becoming visible. Jolie was recently spotted looking gaunt and pale, prompting concerns for her health. “The stress of it all is clearly getting to her,” the source added. “She’s hardly sleeping or eating and is thinner than ever, it’s frightening and there are fears she could wind up putting her own health at risk in all this.”
Amid her professional ambitions and personal struggles, it’s clear that Angelina Jolie is facing an incredibly tough period in her life—one where the pressures are coming from every direction.
