Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt first met on the set of the action comedy film "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" in 2004.
At the time, both actors were already well-established in Hollywood, and the film's plot centered around a married couple who were secretly spies. During the filming process, their on-screen chemistry was palpable, sparking rumors of a real-life romance.
It's important to note that, at the beginning of their collaboration on "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," Brad Pitt was married to actress Jennifer Aniston, and Angelina Jolie had recently gone through a divorce from actor Billy Bob Thornton. The precise timeline of when their romantic relationship began remains a subject of speculation.
After working closely together on the film, Jolie and Pitt developed a deep friendship. Jolie later shared in interviews that their connection evolved gradually, with a realization dawning on them after the filming was complete. Jolie once expressed in a Vogue interview that it took until the end of filming for them to understand that their connection could mean something more than just friendship.
Their friendship transformed into a romantic relationship, and the couple soon became one of Hollywood's most talked-about pairs. Despite the initial controversy surrounding the beginning of their relationship, they went on to become a high-profile couple with a blended family, adopting and having biological children together.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt officially tied the knot on August 23, 2014, in a private ceremony held at their estate, Château Miraval, in the south of France. The couple exchanged vows in the presence of their six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne.
The reasons for their marriage were rooted in their love for each other and their commitment to building a life together. They appeared to share common interests, including their dedication to philanthropy, and they often spoke about their focus on family life.
However, despite the seemingly strong foundation, their marriage faced challenges. In September 2016, Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, citing irreconcilable differences and expressing concerns about the health of their family. The divorce proceedings became a highly publicized and lengthy legal battle, shedding light on the complexities of their relationship.
