Pitt makes first appearance since Jolie filed for divorce

Hollywood star Brad Pitt made his maiden public appearance since Angelina Jolie filed for divorce in September citing "irreconcilable differences".

The 52-year-old actor was spotted on Monday night at a private screening of "Moonlight" with friend Julia Roberts.

The actor, who is one of the producers, appeared to be in high spirits as he posed for a shot with Roberts, "Moonlight" star Trevante Rhodes, and writer/director Barry Jenkins.

Pitt also took to the podium with Roberts to speak about the highly-acclaimed film.

This was the first time Pitt came out post split, earlier he had cancelled his appearance at the "Voyage of Time" premiere in late September, announcing that he was "currently focused on my family situation."
 

Pitt's outing comes one day after a representative for Jolie released a new statement saying that the former couple have reached a legal agreement about the custody of their six children: Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and 8-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
