Earlier this week, friends of the former couple claimed Brad and Angelina’s divorce proceedings have stalled.

A new report by Us Weekly sees multiple sources claiming the former power couple, who had a very public and very bitter split in September 2016, have not moved forward with proceedings to end their marriage.

One insider told the publication: ‘The divorce is off. They haven’t done anything to move it forward in several months and no one thinks they are ever going to.’ 

The reason given for the alleged stall is Brad coming clean about his boozing in an interview with GQ this past May.

A friend of Jolie, 42, told Us Weekly that the commitment to self-improvement has struck a chord with the actress, who reportedly previously claimed she would consider taking Brad back ‘if he showed he was committed to raising a family’.

The source went on to add that Brad had ‘got sober to try and win her back’ and that the move to quit drinking was ‘all she ever wanted’.

Meanwhile, the insider claims: ‘Everyone thinks they are going to get back together.

‘It wouldn’t be surprising if they announced that they’re calling [the split] off and trying to work things out.’

In September 2016, there was an alleged ‘altercation’ that involved Brad and Maddox aboard a private jet that was heading from Nice, France to Los Angeles, California; after they landed, Angelina ‘kicked him out,’ according to Vanity Fair.

Brad was cleared of any wrongdoing.

Angelina and Brad, who became known as ‘Brangelina,’ met on the set of their film Mr. And Mrs. Smith in 2004 when Brad was still married to Jennifer Aniston.

They married in an intimate ceremony on August 23, 2014 in Correns, France.

She told the magazine that her and her estranged husband ‘care for each other and care for our family, and we are both working towards the same goal.’
