The Truth About Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie's Marriage
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were once the most glamorous couple in Hollywood. But the latest twist in their bitter split has people wondering whether they ever really knew the stars in the first place. The power couple officially divorced in 2019, of course, but the allegations that have since been fired from both sides have been surprising and shocking to read. How did it all go so wrong?
Trouble from the start
Mind you, Jolie and Pitt first got together in arguably the most tabloid-baiting way possible. The two initially got to know each other behind the scenes of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. And rumors soon surfaced that the stars were having an affair during filming. The trouble was that Pitt was still married to Friends star Jennifer Aniston at the time — so Jolie was apparently keen to put all the gossip to bed.
Facing the gossip
In a 2005 interview with Today, she said, “To be intimate with a married man — when my own father cheated on my mother — is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn’t be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.” But, as we know, the pair did get actually get together in the end.
Happy times
Pitt and Aniston divorced in October 2005 — just three months before Jolie revealed that she was expecting the Fight Club actor’s child. She and Pitt would eventually have six kids together, including three adopted children. And after nearly a decade together, they finally walked down the aisle at a ceremony in Correns, France, in 2014.
The best of times
“One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom,” Pitt told Parade in 2011. “She’s such a great mom. Oh, man, I’m so happy to have her. With a partner like Angie, I know that when I’m working, the kids are happy, safe, and prospering. And when Angie’s working, she knows she has the same.” But it wouldn't be long until things seemingly started to turn sour.
