Few couples in Hollywood have been mesmerising audiences like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Their love story chronicles glamour, passion, and finally heartbreak, making it one of the unparalleled romances in modern celebrity history. As the world watched, the duo single-handedly took the term “power couple” to a whole new level. It was as if they were running a never-ending race while maintaining blockbuster careers, humanitarian work, and a growing family.
A Love Born on Set
In 2004, the paths of the actors crossed on the set of Mr. And Mrs. Smith, which was released in 2005. Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston at the time, but the intense chemistry and connection he shared with Jolie made jaws drop. Everyone was left wondering, believing the duo was having some sort of on-set affair. In 2005, the duo openly admitted to the affair, and shortly thereafter, Pitt announced his separation from Aniston. They were then seen together but did not openly speak about their romance.
The Brangelina Era
Their relationship was the golden ticket to fame for Jolie who already had a son named Maddox from her previous marriage. The couple then welcomed three biological children Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne, followed by the adoption of Zacahra and Pax. Their family of eight soon became the face of modern multicultural Hollywood and the definition of a dynasty.
Outside of their private spheres, the couple engaged in philanthropic activities, notably with the Jolie-Pitt Foundation that donated millions to humanitarian efforts around the globe. Their public image had rooted in philanthropy as much as it had in the film industry, demonstrating once again how having a common purpose deepened their relationship as a couple.
The Unfolding of Romance
As idyllic as things may have seemed, trouble began to emerge. They got married in 2014 at a private wedding in Château Miraval in south France after being together for close to a decade. But just two years later, Jolie filed for divorce due to irreconcilable differences. Their divorce was messy, featuring custody disputes and legal battles that were broadcasted to the public.
The Timeless Legacy
Despite the end of their love story, the brand of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie continues to shape Hollywood. Their films, humanitarian work, and common experiences continue to fascinate audiences around the globe even after the two have moved on. For both Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, their union represents one of the most ostentatious, passionate, and influential periods of time that came defining celebrity culture in the last decade.
Even apart, they remain Hollywood royalty—two figures whose influence will forever be intertwined in the fabric of cinematic and cultural history.
