Hollywood’s ex-soulmates Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ended their relationship in a bitter divorce. Even in Hollywood, relationships experience ups and downs, but many people find the history of their relationship to be particularly intriguing.
The former couple met on set while co-starring in the spy thriller, Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2005. Little did they know that they would end up being a real-life couple after playing married assassins. Fans of the former Hollywood couple, whose relationship was widely publicized, were shocked to learn of their divorce in 2016.
They had been married for five years, during which time they had been through health scares, scandals, and the raising of six kids. What might have been the tense moment? Naturally, many fresh revelations about their marriage have occurred in the years since their split.
Although they do not get along well now, the Original Sin actress once stated she did not want to marry the Bullet Train actor because she had made some promises to herself.
When Angelina Jolie Had No Intention To Marry Brad Pitt
As one of the most famous (ex) couples in Hollywood, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s union received extensive media coverage. They first ran into each other while filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith and fell in love right away. When the couple finally got married in 2014, fans were overjoyed, but they were unaware that the 48-year-old actress had doubts about the union.
In a 2007 October Marie Claire issue, Jolie was candid about her struggles prior to marrying Pitt. She admitted:
“Brad and I have never discussed it [marriage] in detail, but I would assume – because we both went down that road before – that its not a contract or the ceremony that makes you feel solid.”
The actress, thus, was of the opinion that hard work and starting a family together, rather than getting married, solidified her relationship with Pitt.
‘It’s hard work and the exhaustion and the children that really make you solid.”
Before their biological daughter, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt was born and shortly after the couple made the decision to have a large family, the Eternals actress revealed:
“All my friends said, ‘It’s going to take an average of six months [to get pregnant].’ But it happened on our first try.”
Jolie has always been open about the difficulties she encountered during her marriages, including her relationship with her ex-husband, Billy Bob Thornton.
She Never Wanted a Relationship After Her Divorce with Billy Bob Thornton
Before trying the knot with Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie was married to Billy Bob Thornton.
She first crossed paths with the Bad Santa actor while filming Pushing Tin. The couple often engaged in discussions about involvement in open displays of affection for each other, and their marriage in 2000 was one of the most widely covered news stories. They divorced in May 2003 after filing for divorce in 2002, so the union did not last very long.
Jolie once admitted that the “overnight” change in the course of events caught her off guard as well. As a result, she had no expectations when she first met Pitt during Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
The Gia actress reportedly felt that she and the Fight Club actor were quite busy with their personal lives and were not looking for a serious relationship. However, as they worked together on the 2005 film, they started getting closer.
“Because of the film, we ended up being brought together to do all these crazy things.”
Thus, it is safe to say that love is not always easy but is always worth fighting for. Despite experiencing their fair share of ups and downs, Jolie and Pitt never wavered in their commitment to each other and their children.
She took a chance on love and chose to marry the man she knew was destined to be her lifelong partner, despite her fear of being hurt again. Their love story may not have had a happy ending, but it serves as a reminder that true love can endure hardship.
