Angelina Jolie debuts a new bird tattoo on her chest with a special meaning at the 2024 Tony Awards – amid ongoing messy divorce battle with ex Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie showed off a new, small bird tattoo located in the middle of her chest as she made a glamorous appearance at the 77th Annual Tony Awards on Sunday. 

The Maleficent actress, 49 – who recently showed off another addition to her tattoo collection – flaunted the tiny ink as she graced the red carpet alongside her teenage daughter Vivienne, 15. 

The pair's Broadway production, The Outsiders, garnered four major wins during the special ceremony, including Best Musical. 

Her latest tattoo seemingly depicted a sparrow-like bird with its wings slightly out to appear as if it was flying. 

Sparrows can carry a special meaning and are known to symbolize freedom, love and also loyalty. 

Jolie – who has been embroiled in a tumultuous divorce battle with ex-husband Brad Pitt – opted to not add any colorful details to the tattoo and instead chose a simple, black ink.

A few months earlier in April during opening night of The Outsiders in the Big Apple, the actress revealed new ink located on her left forearm. 

The words 'Stay Gold' could be in cursive in reference to the Broadway musical. The phrase is said by the character, Johnny, while talking to Ponyboy as a reminder to stay true to oneself. 

And last year in August, she initially debuted mystery ink on each of her middle fingers – which had been done by tattoo artist, MR.K. 

At the time, he uploaded an image of her hands but concealed the designs by blurring the tattoos. 'Still can't believe that I actually grabbed her hand and tattooed her. Guess what she got on her palm?' 

Social media users attempted to figure out what the ink could possibly be, with one penning, 'F***. Brad' in reference to her messy divorce battle with Pitt. 

However, the tattoo artist soon addressed fans by revealing in the comment section that, 'It has NOTHING related with Brad Pitt.' He also later apologized to the star for any stress caused by fan speculation. 

'First of all, I feel sorry with all the bad speculations and sincerely apologize to @angelinajolie for the stress that might caused her,' Mr. K penned while finally unveiling the tattoos. 

He continued, 'This tattoo represents two daggers in geometric & abstract way / nothing related to religion or cross #angelinajolie #mrktattoo.'

Some of Jolie's various other tattoos include a Bengal Tiger, a cross, Khmer Script and also Geographical Coordinates of her children.

During a past interview with Marie Claire UK back in 2020, Angelina opened up about her array of tattoos. 

'I love them. They're body art,' she gushed to the outlet at the time. 'I don't think it's abnormal that someone who spends their life in other skins wants to claim their own by marking things on it that matter to them.' 

On Sunday, the actress showed off the new, sparrow-like tattoo as she joined her daughter, Vivienne, on the star-studded red carpet at the Tony Awards in NYC. 

The teen color-coordinated with her mother in teal-colored trousers as well as a matching vest that was left unbuttoned the front. 

Jolie was also glammed up in a lighter, teal velvet Versace gown that had a fitted, corset-styled bodice and a full skirt that flowed down to brush the ground.

She added a matching shawl on top that slightly draped down her shoulders that offered a dramatic flare to the overall look. 

At one point, Angelina slightly turned away from the camera to flash a glimpse of some of her tattoos on her left arm and upper back. 

Jolie notably took on the role of a producer for the Broadway musical, The Outsiders, which officially premiered earlier this year in April. Vivienne also had the chance to be a producer's assistant on the critically-acclaimed project.

Last month in May, it was also revealed that Vivienne dropped the last name Pitt from her moniker in The Outsiders Playbill; seen in May in L.A.

Last month in May, it was also revealed that Vivienne dropped the last name Pitt from her moniker in The Outsiders Playbill. 

She was listed as Vivienne Jolie in the credits rather than Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, per People. 

Vivienne's older sister, Zahara, also publicly opted to not use Pitt while stating her full name while being inducted into the AKA sorority at Spelman College. 

Also last month, Brad and Angelina's daughter, Shiloh, 18, officially requested to drop 'Pitt' from her surname in court documents obtained by TMZ.

The dancer filed the paperwork on her 18th birthday which took place on Monday, May 27 and has asked that her new legal name be Shiloh Jolie. The action came after it was revealed that Pitt wants to repair his 'broken' bond with Shiloh.

A source later told People that Brad is 'aware and upset' that daughter Shiloh filed to drop 'Pitt' from her last name, and is another indication that he has 'lost his children.'

Brad and Angelina share biological children Shiloh as well as twins Knox and Vivienne, 15, and three adopted children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20 and also Zahara, 19.

The pair began dating after Pitt and then-wife, Jennifer Aniston, announced their divorce in 2005.

The two later tied the knot in 2014, with the Maleficent actress filing for divorce in 2016 after only two years of marriage. Three years later in 2019, Brad and Angelina were declared legally single.

However, the two A-listers have been embroiled in an ongoing divorce battle over assets and custody for years since. A central issue seems to be a notorious private jet confrontation in 2016. 

An FBI report on the incident, which was published in 2022, saw Jolie accuse Pitt of physical assault while flying to California in 2016. 

She claimed that he was intoxicated and that he grabbed her by the head and shook her, and later pushed her down, as part of a confrontation allegedly related to their children.

Jolie told the FBI that Pitt told the children that she was 'f***ing up this family,' and she said he punched the ceiling of the airplane four times.

She claimed that at one point he poured beer on her and a blanket she was under with multiple children.

Source close to Pitt later claimed that he never hit any of the children, though they admitted that he had been drinking.
