It's been difficult, I don't enjoy being single: Angelina Jolie

In another interview, she said she had spent much of the last year "just taking care of my children"

Actor Angelina Jolie, who has been in the news for her split with actor Brad Pitt, says she is not enjoying being single.

The actress spoke about being single in an interview with The Telegraph.

"It's been difficult. I don't enjoy being single. It's not something I wanted. There's nothing nice about it. It's just hard," Jolie said.

In another interview with Sydney Morning Herald, she said she had spent much of the last year "just taking care of my children."



"I can't pretend this isn't a tough time in my life. But I'm trying to get through it by just moving forward and knowing it's part of being human. Maybe sometimes it appears I am pulling it all together, but really in fact I am just trying to get through my days. I will eventually balance more and do more work, but because of family issues it's been extremely tough."

Previously, it was reported that the former star couple is “consciously re-coupling” after intense rehab and spiritual counselling, claims biographer Ian Halperin.

Seven weeks ago, the actors were spotted outside a modest three-bedroom house on the flats of Beverly Hills. The pair stood face-to-face for the first time in 10 months.

“Brad took the first step forward. Then they collapsed into each other’s arms,” said Halperin, reports Daily Mail.



The stars went inside a friend’s home for an emotional conversation.

“There were a lot of tears,” Halperin said.

“Nothing was left on the table. They had it out, right there and then in this very modest house. In that moment they decided to make a fresh start. It was a ‘come to Jesus meeting’ that marked the beginning of a new phase in their relationship,” said the biographer.

When the couple split last September amid toxic allegations of drink, drugs and a mid-air altercation between Pitt and their teenage son Maddox resulted in brief investigations by the FBI and social services.

The rift in their relationship seemed as final, as it was sudden.

But the ‘tough love’ meeting arranged by the couple’s divorce negotiator gave them a chance to talk in the presence of a ‘referee’ who helped them cut through the acrimony and recrimination.
Their conclusion was that they still loved each other and wanted to try again.



According to Daily Mail, they are working to ‘consciously re-couple’ and have undergone intensive rehab and spiritual counselling sessions in an effort to start anew.

Jolie filed for divorce last September. The Hollywood megastars had been married for two years and were a couple since 2004. They share six children.
