On Saturday, Brad, 60, was spotted walking alone on a beach in Santa Barbara, California, while talking on his cell phone.
The Bullet Train actor was accompanied by his two dogs as he walked through the sand along the coast in a warm, inflatable vest.
He showed off his muscular arms in a tight-fitting white long-sleeved t-shirt that he wore under his vest.
Brad paired the vest and t-shirt combo with baggy, plaid pants.
He wore sunglasses as he enjoyed the cool beach air and soaked up the afternoon sun.
Although the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star seemed lonely, that won’t be the case for long, as her eldest daughter, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt – who turns 18 on May 27, is expected to move out of the $100 home. 25 million from his mother in Los Angeles. mansion and her father’s $8.3 million home in nearby Los Feliz.

“Plus, she adores Brad and has always been a daddy’s girl,” they added.
The teenager won’t be homesick, as Brad and Angelina live just a few blocks away from each other.
Although Brad was “ecstatic” about the news, Angelina apparently didn’t share those feelings.

“Naturally, Angelina wasn’t happy, but she knows Shiloh is now a woman and can make her own decisions,” the source continued.
O Hollywood stars have been fighting for custody of their youngest children for almost eight years.
DRIVING A WEDGE
Last week, a former bodyguard for the couple told Los Angeles Superior Court in a statement about allegations that Angelina tried to drive a wedge between her ex-husband and their six children.
This occurred as part of legal proceedings relating to Angelina’s disputed 2021 sale of her stake in the Chateau Miraval winery in France that the former power couple owned together.
Former British SAS special forces soldier Tony Webb explained in his statement that he worked for the family for more than 20 years, starting in 2000.
He said the Girl, Interrupted actress fired him after two of her bodyguards sided with Brad following the couple’s acrimonious split and agreed to testify against her at custody hearings.
The Falklands War veteran explained that he created SRS Global Security after retiring from military service and provided protection to the couple and their children through the company.
Webb said he typically took orders from Jolie’s personal assistant, Michael Vieira.
Discussing the end of Brad and Angelina’s marriage, he said he learned they were divorcing in 2016.
He said: “After the divorce, SRS Global and I continued to provide security for Ms. Jolie, Mr. Pitt and their children.
“Shortly before two SRS Global contractors were to testify in a court case that I understood to be related to Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt’s divorce and custody of their children, Mr. Vieira called me on my cell phone.
“Mr. Vieira told me that he had heard that two contractors who provided personal security to Ms. Jolie through SRS Global might testify in the family court proceedings.
“Sir. Vieira then asked me to prevent the two individuals from testifying.
“I understood that Mr. Vieira was making this request on behalf of Ms.
Webb says he explained to Vieira that he had “no power” to stop the pair from testifying because they were independent contractors and not employees of his company.
He continued: “Mr. Vieira then told me that his call should serve as a reminder that those individuals had entered into non-disclosure agreements with Ms. Jolie and that I should remind them of that, and that if they testified in the family law case, Ms. process them.
“I communicated this message to both individuals over the phone and they both told me they planned to testify.
“One of these two individuals, Ross Foster, specified that he intended to testify independently of the NDA if he received a court subpoena.
ORDERS TO AVOID
“When Mr. Foster told me this, he also told me that, if questioned, he would testify about the statements he heard from Ms. Jolie to the children encouraging them to avoid spending time with Mr. Jolie.
Webb said Vieira later repeated the threat to sue the bodyguards during a follow-up call.
The former soldier’s allegations could prove legally problematic for Angelina because NDAs typically should not be used to prevent witnesses from coming forward in court proceedings.
Despite the alleged threats, Webb said he understands that both of his colleagues testified under subpoena, leading to the termination of Jolie’s SRS in June 2021.
Webb wrote to Jolie on June 16, 2021, thanking her for hiring him.
The bodyguard said: “I also wrote that I was sad that we had grown apart over the last few years and that I knew she blamed me for what my independent contractors had done, but because they were self-employed, I couldn’t control what they did. or said because they were not directly employed by SRS Global.”
In their latest exchange, Jolie responded: “‘Take care of yourself. As always. Angie’.”
CHATEAU MIRAVAL
The bodyguard’s explosive claims are the latest chapter in the so-called Rosé War over ownership of the Chateau Miraval winery.
Brad asked Los Angeles Superior Court to reverse Angelina’s October 2021 sale of her vineyard stake in Provence, France, to Russian beverage magnate Yuri Shefler.
He claims this violated an agreement that the pair had to offer the other first refusal on a sale if either of them wanted to leave.
Angelina claims she backed out of selling to Brad because he asked her to sign an “unconscionable” NDA as part of the deal to sell her shares to him.
Take care. Like always. Angie.”
Former bodyguard Tony Webb says Angelina Jolie wrote to him for the last time.
But Brad’s lawyers say his allegations are just an attempt to “rationalize” his betrayal of Oscar winner and that just six months later Jolie proposed that Pitt sign an NDA as part of divorce negotiations.
They now want her to confess to the NDAs she asked others to sign so the court can test her credibility.
Brad’s legal team argues that Webb’s evidence suggests that Jolie found NDAs to be much less “unfair” when she demanded them from others.
Webb said in his statement that he received instructions, which “included Mr. Vieira telling me to present people with confidentiality agreements on Ms. Vieira’s behalf.”
“For example, Mr. Vieira often asked to provide hotel employees with confidentiality agreements and obtain signatures from them,” Webb said.
Brad’s motion regarding disclosure of the NDA is expected to be decided at a hearing on May 16.
In a separate court filing, Brad’s attorney John Berlinski accused Angelina of using NDAs in an “improper manner.”
He added: “Jolie’s use of NDAs to silence her security guards and try to prevent them from testifying to the truth in court about what really happened behind closed doors bears a striking similarity to Jolie’s allegations in this case that Pitt improperly used a NDA to ‘silence’. her.”
Berlinski accused Jolie of trying to gain a “tactical advantage” by “turning this business dispute into a sideshow about family court matters.”
A decision on who will remain in control of Chateau Miraval is not expected this year.
