Brad Pitt says he has gotten to the age where he knows what’s important in life. 

“No matter the mistake, you know, you just learn from and you move on, and it’ll lead to the next success,” the actor, 61, told Entertainment Tonight on Monday at the premiere of his new racing movie “F1.” 

He continued, “Really, I think, you get to my age, and you really see how important it is to surround yourself with, you know, the people you love, the people who will love you back and friends and family and that’s it. And from there we get to go make things. So, I think it’s a pretty simple, I think, equation.” 

Pitt’s comments come less than a year after he finalized his divorce from Angelina Jolie after their split in 2016. The former couple share six children.

However, he admitted last month that he did not feel finalizing the divorce was a milestone. 

“I don’t think it was that major of a thing. Just something coming to fruition. Legally,” he told GQ.

“Mostly I feel pretty…. My life is fairly contained,” Pitt added while discussing a life filled with constant tabloid attention. “It feels pretty warm and secure with my friends, with my loves, with my fam, with my knowledge of who I am, that, you know, it’s like this fly buzzing around a little bit.”

Pitt said that his personal life is “always in the news. It’s been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let’s put it that way.”

“It’s been an annoyance I’ve had to always deal with in different degrees, large and small, as I do the things I really want to do,” he said. “So, it’s always been this kind of nagging time suck or waste of time, if you let it be that, I don’t know.”

Along with surrounding himself with people who support him, the “Fight Club” actor said he found refuge while driving in his racing car for “F1.”

“There’s a peacefulness in the car,” he admitted. “There’s some days where you’re off mentally, and you’re just a fraction of a second behind on your turning point. Or if you’re having an uneasy day, and you’re not committed to the car, trusting the car, you get it all wrong. And then there are these days where it is so sublime, you just cannot believe what these cars can do.” 

He continued, “And sometimes you just get it all right, it all falls into place and there’s a, oh man, I got to find a better word, but everything’s right with the world. There’s no s— from yesterday, and there’s nothing you got to deal with tomorrow. It’s just this moment and until you get on the straights, which you’re actually going the fastest, but this is the place where you actually get to rest, and you can catch your breath, and you just let everything down, just a couple of degrees and there your mind might wander, wander like, ‘Oh, what a beautiful cloud.’ ‘Oh, that’s funny: They painted that grandstand blue there. It’s kind of an odd color, isn’t it?’ You just have time to drift a little bit until you start approaching that next breaking point.”

HGTV star Tarek El Moussa is celebrating a family milestone after he was cited for battery following an altercation in Las Vegas. 

The “Flip or Flop” alum, 43, took to social media to share a heartfelt message dedicated to his daughter, Taylor, as she heads into high school. 

“Taylor we are so proud of you and so excited for you to head into the next stage of your life. Our beautiful, smart, incredible, bright light we all love and adore you,” Tarek wrote in a joint Instagram post with ex-wife Christina Haack and current wife Heather Rae El Moussa.

The social media post was accompanied by two family photos, the first with Tarek hugging his two children with Christina and Heather in the frame. The second photo was a larger family photo.

“We hope all the mistakes you’ve watched us make throughout your life help to guide you to a brighter future…. love you baby. High school here we come!!!” the post concluded.

It was unclear what “mistakes” the caption was referring to.

Reps for Tarek, Heather and Christina did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

The sweet family photo comes after the “Flipping 101” star was involved in a physical fight in Las Vegas that led to a citation for battery.

Fox News Digital can confirm that the reality star was not arrested and only cited by authorities after the incident. He allegedly got into the heated encounter to defend his elderly father.

“On June 5, 2025, officers responded to a battery incident in the 3300 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard,” the Las Vegas Metro Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital, Tuesday.

Although no one from the family has publicly addressed the incident, Heather took to social media to share their weekend trip to Las Vegas.

“Not our average Vegas trip… Watched Tarek do his thing on stage (so proud!) and made it extra special by bringing our parents along for the ride,” she wrote on Instagram with a video recap.

For him, the most frightening part wasn’t just the cancer itself; it was the fear of not being there for his family, particularly his then-baby girl, Taylor – who he praised in his recent social media post.

“The scariest part for me was not knowing if I was going to live or die, because at the time I was young, I had a family, I have my daughter, Taylor, and the scariest thing was not knowing if I would be around to raise my baby.”
