Brad Pitt, in his first interview since his split from Angelina Jolie, has revealed that he has quit drinking and started therapy to help him get through the divorce.

Jolie announced in September 2016 that she was filing for divorce from the actor, whom she had been with since 2004, due to “irreconcilable differences”. The pair became embroiled in a custody dispute, with Pitt under investigation for possible child abuse after reportedly losing his temper in front of some of his children. The Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) later cleared Pitt and Jolie’s representative told Vanity Fair: “The DCFS is now satisfied the safeguards are put in place that will allow the children to heal.”

Speaking to GQ Style in an in-depth interview published this week, Pitt explained that while he and Jolie are working together to provide the best possible life for their children, the experience has also inspired him to work on himself.

“I just started therapy,” he said. “I love it. I love it. I went through two therapists to find the right one.”
