Brad Pitt has opened up about the reasons behind his infidelity during his marriage to Jennifer Aniston, revealing that he was unhappy in the relationship and has no regrets about starting a new one with Angelina Jolie.
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were once one of Hollywood's most renowned and beloved couples. Their love story appeared idyllic as they tied the knot in 2000, but their marriage ended in divorce five years later amid allegations of Pitt's infidelity with fellow actress Angelina Jolie, whom he met during the filming of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" in 2004. In a recent interview with Parade magazine, Pitt has shared the reasons behind his unfaithfulness.
In the interview, the American actor confessed that he found his marriage to Jennifer Aniston unfulfilling and desired a more interesting life. This dissatisfaction with the state of his marriage played a significant role in his decision to end the relationship. Pitt reflected, "It was very clear to me that I had the intention of trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn't living an interesting life. I think my marriage had something to do with it. Trying to fake marriage was something it wasn't."
Furthermore, Pitt discussed the burdens of fame, acknowledging that the weight of celebrity had taken a toll on his daily life. He described his efforts in the '90s to avoid the chaos of fame, feeling the need to hide and the growing sense of discontent. Pitt stated, "I spent the '90s trying to hide, trying to avoid the cacophony of fame. I started to get tired of myself sitting on a couch, hiding. I started to feel pathetic."
Regarding his relationship with Angelina Jolie, Pitt made a controversial revelation, expressing that he does not regret leaving Jennifer for Angelina. He expressed his contentment with the decision and emphasized the love he found with Jolie, along with the family they have built together. Pitt also paid tribute to his former wife, Jennifer Aniston, describing her as an incredibly affectionate and loving woman and acknowledging the enduring friendship between them, which he values greatly.
