It has been more than half a decade since the last time the world saw the iconic power couple of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, popularly called Brangelina. But some fans still remember the good old days of these two Hollywood stars walking together as husband and wife. And as the night of the 2024 Academy Awards fast approaches, people also remember their iconic selfie at the 2014 Oscars.
In this picture, several high-profile stars can be seen sharing the frame with famous talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, where fans are also able to see both Jolie and Pitt take the edges of the frame to become part of the event.
Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Shared A Selfie For The Last Time At The 2014 Oscars
The popular couple of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie started to pop off ever since their on-screen chemistry in their 2005 action/romance film Mr. and Mrs. Smith was witnessed by the audience. This soon turned into real-life romance and eventually led to them getting married in 2014. That same year, both these stars were part of the memorable Oscar Selfie with Ellen DeGeneres.
This would prove to be the last time that the couple would take a self-picture together before their divorce. This moment was iconic in its own right since the frame included faces of some of the biggest names in the film industry, including legends like Meryl Streep and Kevin Spacey.

Since the clips of this event taking place a decade ago have resurfaced, fans couldn’t help but notice Brangelina in this selfie, which made fans more focused on them than anyone else around them. This moment was made possible because Samsung was sponsoring the award ceremony that year, and naturally, they also wanted to promote their range of Samsung Galaxy smartphones, which was best done through the talk show host taking this image.
What Was The Reason Brangelina Split?
The tensions between Pitt and Jolie started to rise in the later months of 2015 when it was reported that the couple was having heated verbal arguments and fights with each other in front of their children.
In 2016, this came to a boiling point when it was reported that the Tomb Raider star had filed for divorce following their second marriage anniversary. This divorce also came with domestic and child abuse charges against Pitt, who had allegedly committed acts of violence on their private jet. This legal case of custody of their children went on until they eventually and officially split from each other in 2019.
