Brad Pitt married her in a lavish ceremony in Malibu on July 29, 2000.  For years their marriage was considered as a rare Hollywood success and even they are referred as Hollywood’s golden couple. The couple have no children. In March 2005 Aniston filed for divorce petition in the local court. Their divorce was granted by the Los Angeles Superior Court on October 2, 2005, and ended their marriage.

No doubt there are much speculation about the break-up of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston and the role of Angelina Jolie in that. One rumor says that Pitt and Angelina Jolie were having an affair during the filming of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. But both Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie deny such romance. Some people say that it was inappropriate friendship of Brad Pitt and Angelina which led to the break up.

Later in January 2006, Jolie confirmed that she was pregnant with Pitt’s child and thereby confirmed their relationship for the first time in public. In an October 2006 interview Pitt said that he and Jolie decided to marry.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Love story

It was during the making of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”  that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt fell in love. In an interview Angelina Jolie told that she never wanted to ruin Brad Pitt’s marriage to Jennifer Aniston but it just happened that way.

She said “I didn’t know much about exactly where Brad was in his personal life. But it was clear he was with his best friend, someone he loves and respects.”

After the marriage with Brad she says “I’m starting to be able to see being 50 years old with the kids graduating from high school.”

It seems that she is mentally settled now and committed to her life. She just want a peaceful life with her beloved kids and of course Brad.

Brad Pitt about Aniston

“Jen and I still maintain a deep friendship and have a lot of life together that isn’t erased in any way.”

“She was a big part of my life, and me hers.”

“I don’t know how better to have handled [the split]. My view was, this was no one’s business in the end at least in matters of the heart, the thing guiding me then was, you don’t know how many days you have, and you need life to be everything you need it to be.”

“The thing that I don’t understand is looking at this as a failure. It’s talked about like it failed, I guess because it wasn’t flawless. I embrace the messiness of life. I find it so beautiful, actually. The idea that marriage has to be for all time, that I don’t understand.”

“The most important thing about that time was for Jen and me to figure out if how do I put it? if we didn’t want to go on without any outside influence. Is this where we got off? Have we taken this as far as we wanted to go?”

“It’s so complex and multifaceted. We’ve done it our way and I love her for that. We’ve kept the love we have for each other.”

“There’s peace in understanding that I have only one life, here and now, and I’m responsible.”

Angelina Jolie about Brad Pitt

“Brad was a huge surprise to me, I, like most people, had a very distant impression of him from. I think we were the last two people who were looking for a relationship. I certainly wasn’t,I was quite content to be a single mom.”

“Because of the film “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”, we ended up being brought together to do all these crazy things, and I think we found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened. I think a few months in I realized, ‘God, I can’t wait to get to work.”

“Whether it was shooting a scene or arguing about a scene or gun practice or dance class or doing stunts — anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. We just became kind of a pair.”

“Not as exciting as what a lot of people would like to believe. We spent a lot of time contemplating and thinking and talking about what we both wanted in life and realized that we wanted very, very similar things. We remained very, very good friends – for a long time”

“We both have been married before, so it’s not marriage that’s necessarily kept some people together. We are legally bound to our children, not to each other, and I think that’s the most important thing.”

“I’m not a hugger. People make fun of me. It’s something that I have a hard time with. If someone hugs me, I hold my breath. Snuggling, cuddling, hugging, crying … all that stuff makes me very uncomfortable.”

“He’s a great challenge to me. We’re constantly in competition with each other. He’s somebody I admire based on the way he lives his life.”

Jennifer Aniston about Brad Pitt

“Pretty soon after we separated, we got on and we had a long, long conversation with each other and said a lot of things, and ever since we’ve been unbelievably warm and respectful of each other.”

‘Well, it never was that bad. ‘I mean, look, it’s not like divorce is something that you go, “Oooh, I can’t wait to get divorced!” It doesn’t feel like a tickle. But I’ve got to tell you, it’s so vague at this point, it’s so faraway in my mind. I mean, in the end, we really had an amicable split. It wasn’t mean and hateful and all of this stuff that they tried to create about Brad can’t talk  to Jen and Jen can’t talk to Brad because this person won’t allow it. It just didn’t happen. The marriage didn’t work out.”

“Everybody always asks if we’re happy. Give me a break. We’re married two years. In Hollywood years, that’s forever.” [2002]

“It’s my experience. And if you don’t like the way it looks, then stop looking at it! Because I feel good. I don’t feel like I’m supposed to be any further along or somewhere that I’m not. I’m right where I’m supposed to be.”

Joint statement : “For those who follow these sorts of things, we would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any speculation reported by the tabloid media – this decision is the result of much thoughtful consideration.We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another.”
