Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reportedly back on speaking terms amid the nasty Brangelina divorce. And now, it seems like the actor has found a new hobby to keep him busy while going through another difficult stage in his life.

An unnamed source possibly close to the matter revealed to People that both Pitt and Jolie are now speaking with each other directly. "He's much happier," the insider added. "He's very relieved that things are not playing out in public anymore."

The soon-to-be ex-couple are still in negotiation for custody of their children: Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and 8-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. The report continued to add that both Pitt and Jolie have enlisted a judge back in January to deal with the Brangelina divorce.

Pitt, meanwhile, has recently started taking up sculpting as a hobby, possibly to take his mind off of the Brangelina divorce. Los Angeles Times reported that the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" actor is passionate about his new found hobby.

Fortunately, it seems like not only a new hobby but Pitt is also trying to reconnect with his past. Enstars previously reported that the actor has recently contacted his ex-wife and "Friends" alum, Jennifer Aniston. It has also been reported that the 53-year-old actor is trying to rebuild his friendship with former "Ocean's Eleven" co-star, George Clooney.

The two close friends, according to reports, are barely speaking to each other for over six months now. And the reason why they have stopped speaking is because of the 41-year-old actress' jealousy to Clooney's wife, Amal. Sources who came forward claimed that Jolie was "filled with envy," considering that Amal is an educated, well-respected person in the political world.

Sadly, both Pitt and Jolie have yet to release any official updates regarding the Brangelina divorce. More news about the matter should emerge in the coming months.
