Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt‘s divorce is by far one of the most shocking celebrity breakups.
The high-profile couple decided to split in 2016, setting off a firestorm of public drama, allegations and lawsuits that attracted constant media attention.
Jolie and Pitt connected in 2004 while starring in Mr and Mrs Smith. Simultaneously, Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston, but their union ended after five years of marriage. Shortly after her public split, Pitt and Jolie were spotted together for the first time, fueling controversial rumors about their relationship. And the rest was history. The duo were undoubtedly inseparable, becoming a power couple in their own right for over a decade.
The two share three biological children: Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne. Jolie adopted her first son, Maddox, in 2002. She adopted daughter Zahara in 2005 and son Pax in 2007. Jolie and Pitt married in 2014 after 10 years together. Unfortunately, their marriage fell apart after two years when Jolie filed for divorce.
In 2020, Jolie addressed her divorce in a Vogue India interview. She shared that their split was the “right decision” for her and their children. “I separated for the well-being of my family,” she admitted. “Some have taken advantage of my silence and children see lies about themselves in the media, but I remind them that they know their own truth and their own mind. In fact, they are six very courageous and very strong young people.
In recent years, the two men have found themselves embroiled in a dispute over their French wine estate, Château Miraval. Legal proceedings have been ongoing since Jolie sold her interest in the property without Pitt’s consent.
The divorce between the two artists is far from peaceful. Here’s a chronological timeline of Jolie and Pitt’s dramatic divorce, from a whirlwind of allegations to their subsequent legal actions.
