Angelina Jolie never liked living in chains when it comes to relationships. The Academy Award winner and her ex-husband, Brad Pitt may be considered as one of the most popular pairs in Hollywood, but it is also true that their bitter-sweet story left the world stunned. But again, during the time they were living this fairytale, Jolie was known for her favorable opinions about an open marriage.
Fidelity Isn’t Angie’s Favourite Ingredient For A Strong Relationship
Angelina Jolie has always hit the bull’s eye when it comes to her professional life, but in her love life, she has often met the wrong partners at the wrong time. From meeting Billy Bon Thornton on the set of Pushing Tin in 1999, to encountering Brad Pitt on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2003, Jolie’s pattern of meeting her ex-husbands is rather consistent.
Even though Jolie claims that the idea of sleeping with married men disgusts her, fidelity hasn’t been a favorite trait of Jolie, who believes that the archaic concept isn’t absolutely essential for a relationship. She said in an interview:
“I doubt that fidelity is absolutely essential for a relationship. It’s worse to leave your partner and talk badly about him afterward.
Neither Brad nor I have ever claimed that living together means being chained together. We make sure that we never restrict each other.”
Angelina Jolie’s ex-husband, Billy Bon Thornton was dating Jurrasic Park alum Laura Dern while Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston when Jolie crossed paths with the actors. Dern later claimed that she left for work while being in a relationship, but when she came back after filming her movie, she found her boyfriend was married to Jolie.
Angelina Jolie’s Bitter Memories Shaped Her Single Life
After divorcing Billy Bon Thornton, Jolie indulged in a passionate romance with Brad Pitt, who announced his separation from Aniston in 2005. The Fight Club actor and Jolie dated for more than a decade, but divorced each other in just two years following a nasty legal battle, that included domestic violence allegations to property disputes.
During her relationship with Pitt, Jolie was often hit by allegations of sleeping with Pitt while he was married to the FRIENDS alum. Jolie, on the other hand, shared her childhood experience to come up with a classic defense. She asserted that her father cheated on her mother, and “to be intimate with a married man”, is something that disgusts her.
During her divorce proceedings, the actress narrated the infamous plane incident, and claimed that Pitt yelled at her, “grabbed her by her head”, shook her, “pushed her into the bathroom wall, punched the ceiling of the plane”, and shouted, “You’ve f***** up this family.” Last year, Jolie won the messy Château Miraval winery case against Pitt.
In an interview following her split from Brad Pitt, Jolie acknowledged that her high dating standards often played a part in her single life. She said, “I don’t enjoy being single, it’s not something I wanted.” While Jolie chose work and her kids over relationships, Pitt is very much active in the dating game.
