Jolie’s new beau not in celebrity spotlight

- — Martha Ross, East Bay Times

With Angelina Jolie finally moving on from her nasty, splashy split from Brad Pitt, you might expect her to shy away from dating someone else superfamou­s.

But perhaps you’d think her romantic interest would have a job that still matched her penchant for prestige artistry or global do-gooding: a documentar­y filmmaker, a human rights lawyer, an Ebola doctor.

But no, Jolie’s choice reportedly is far more homegrown and, well, mundane in an LA way.

Jolie, the Oscar-winning actress, special envoy for the United Nations refugee agency and occasional New York Times op-ed columnist, is dating a real estate agent. That’s according to a new “Entertainm­ent Tonight” report.

Of course, at this stage, things are still pretty new, which means “it’s not serious,” a source told “ET.”

But the real estate agent, who was not identified, reportedly has a few things going for him that could make him appealing to the glamorous 42-year-old actress and mother of six.

He’s handsome, a source close to the actress told “ET.” He’s also “older-looking” and isn’t “a celebrity or high-profile” in any way, the source added.

“ET” reported Jolie was “in a very bad place” after her acrimoniou­s split from Pitt in September 2016. Their breakup included allegation­s that Pitt had drinking and anger-management problems, and led to investigat­ions by child welfare authoritie­s.

A source told The Associated Press that Pitt was cleared of the allegation­s, and the couple quietly worked out visitation and other issues. The estranged couple share children Maddox, 16; Zahara, 13; Pax, 14; Shiloh, 11; and 9-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
