The enthralling narrative of Angelina Jolie and Pitt’s relationship unfolds over a decade, beginning on the set of their spy thriller, Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Despite initial denials, the admission of falling in love sparked controversy, given Pitt’s ongoing marriage to Jennifer Aniston.

The ensuing Brangelina rumors reached a crescendo when Pitt and Aniston announced their separation after five years. Confirming the impending arrival of their first child, Pitt’s divorce from Aniston was finalized, paving the way for legal adoptions and a name change for their children to Jolie-Pitt.

Their union culminated in a 2014 marriage at Chateau Miraval, with all six children playing a role. Collaborating on the film By the Sea, the couple’s on-screen chemistry mirrored their real-life struggles.

In a surprising turn of events in 2016, Jolie filed for divorce, mentioning irreconcilable differences. Seeking primary custody, Jolie emphasized the decision’s importance for the family’s well-being.

As of October 2022, the divorce remains unresolved, yet in April 2019, a judge declared both legally single. Jolie, in an interview with Vogue, expressed her belief in the separation’s rightness for her family. She said,
“Some have taken advantage of my silence, and the children see lies about themselves in the media, but I remind them that they know their truth and their minds.”
However, amid media scrutiny, she prioritizes her children’s healing and resilience against false narratives.
