Are the skies darkening over Brangelina? According to a recent (and rather eyebrow-raising) report, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s relationship may be hitting a rough patch. But before fans start clutching their Team Brangelina T-shirts in despair, let’s take a breath — the source of this dramatic update isn’t a close friend, a family insider, or even a rep.
It’s Brad’s psychic. Yep, you read that right.
Ron Bard, a 54-year-old spiritual advisor who claims he was introduced to Brad years ago by none other than Jennifer Aniston, recently spoke to MailOnline — and let’s just say, he didn’t hold back. According to Bard, Brad feels “boxed in” by Angelina, still has lingering feelings for Jen, and is staying in the relationship largely for the sake of his image... and their six kids.
“At the end of the day, whether [Brad is] in love or he's not in love is not the question,” Bard told the outlet. “The question is he's a man who made a commitment to six children and he's keeping his commitment...”
He went on to suggest that Angelina has Brad “boxed in,” though Bard was quick to say that Brad doesn't seem to mind — because, in his view, Brad’s love for his children outweighs everything else. And as for the idea that Brad is still carrying a torch for Jen? Ron’s crystal ball seems to think so.
“If you're a big star and you leave someone like Jennifer Aniston the world trashes you for years, now you leave six kids? What's your image... you’re stuck,” Bard speculated, pushing the drama dial up several notches.
He even dipped back into his past predictions, claiming he foresaw the Brad-Jen split, but denies ever advising Pitt to end the marriage. “I didn’t say ‘divorce Jennifer so you can go with this hot chick,’” he clarified. (Well, thanks for clearing that up, Ron.)
And just in case you thought he was done, Bard offered a few more psychic predictions: if Brad and Angelina aren’t already married, they will be “pretty soon,” and the couple is destined to have nine children in total.
Nine!
While fans might raise a collective eyebrow at all of this — and Brad Pitt likely won’t be booking another appointment anytime soon — one thing is for sure: when it comes to celebrity gossip, psychics keep things... interesting.
As for the state of Brangelina? We’ll wait for a little more than tarot cards and tea leaves before sounding the alarm.
