Dating someone from the industry is, reportedly, out of the picture for the dad of six.
“Brad doesn’t want to date anyone in the industry because of what he’s gone through. He doesn’t want another Angie,” the source said.

I've been a part of a couple since I was 20. So, there was something really nice about taking the time,” she told Bruce Bozzi on the Lunch With Bruce podcast.
