Brad Pitt is reportedly “in a better place” after his high-profile split from Angelina Jolie in September 2016.

The Hollywood couple are said to be still negotiating the terms of their divorce, with Pitt largely staying out of the limelight.

But reports claim that the Fight Club actor is “excited” and “happier and healthier” following the break-up.

An insider told PEOPLE: “The separation was very dark for him, but lately he looks healthier and happier.
