Angelina Jolie: How Brad Pitt & I Fell in Love

External Image


For the first time, Angelina Jolie has described what happened between her and Brad Pitt on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith – and she insists she never had any intention of breaking up his marriage to Jennifer Aniston.

When she first met her costar on the set of the thriller in 2003, "I didn't know much about exactly where Brad was in his personal life," Jolie, 31, says in the January issue of Vogue, according to excerpts published in the New York Post. "But it was clear he was with his best friend, someone he loves and respects.

"And so we were both living, I suppose, very full lives. … 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."

But "Brad was a huge surprise to me. I, like most people, had a very distant impression of him from … the media," she says.

"Because of the film, 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.' … 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."

They didn't start thinking about a relationship right away, she says. "It took until, really, the end of the shoot for us, I think, to realize that it might mean something more than we'd earlier allowed ourselves to believe. And both knowing that the reality of that was a big thing, something that was going to take a lot of serious consideration."

The two remained "very, very good friends" from the time the movie wrapped in 2004 until after Pitt and Aniston announced their separation in January 2005, Jolie says.

Jolie says that the time she spent getting to know Pitt before his split was "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.

"And then we just continued to take time. We remained very, very good friends – with this realization – for a long time," she says. "And then life developed in a way where we could be together, where it felt like something we would do, we should do."

In fact, it was her son, Madddox, now 5, who helped seal the deal. (Jolie and Pitt are also parents to Zahara, 23 months, and Shiloh, 6 months.) One day, Maddox "just out of the blue called him Dad," says Jolie. "It was amazing. We were playing with cars on the floor of a hotel room, and we both heard it and didn't say anything and just looked at each other. So that was probably the most defining moment, when he decided that we would all be a family."

Jolie also says she'd be willing to meet with Aniston, but "That would be her decision, and I would welcome it."

Pitt has said he and Jolie would not wed until all couples can legally marry, and Jolie agrees that tying the knot is not a priority. "We both have been married before, so it's not marriage that's necessarily kept some people together," she says. "We are legally bound to our children, not to each other, and I think that's the most important thing."

Chat Icon Too bad he was very married and with his "best friend" when this happened:

'God, I can't wait to get to work.' … 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."



Shame on both of them!! He shouldn't have been becoming "a pair" with anyone other than his wife.

Gosh, all this crap must kill Jennifer Aniston.

And W T F does she want to talk to her for?

Sicko! Chat Icon

I don't understand why they are such a celebrated couple. It's a damn shame and quite a comment about society as a whole.

I also agree that it must be very difficult for Jennifer Aniston to see them glorified in the media.

This wouldnt bother me so much if maybe, MAYBE if it was really meant to be. But this isnt the first time she wrecked a relationship. She also became involved with Billy Bob Thornton when he was engaged and liivng with Laura Dern.

I also agree.....we don't know the whole story behind Brad and Jennifer..we can only assume. And since they are real people lilke anyone else...there are times where you realize in a relationship that you don't have the same goals. It doesn't mean you don't love someone but it does mean that you are not happy anymore and SOMETIMES you find what you are looking for in someone else. Who knows if Brad and Angelina will last but the fact they love their children so much does create a very strong bond. JMO

There are quite a few celebrated couples who fell in love while married to someone else...Tom Hanks/Rita Wilson, Paul Newman/Joanne Woodward, to name a couple.

I agree that you can't help who you fall in love with - some people are better friends than they are lovers. I like Pitt & jolie together - they seem really happy and grounded. I hope they last.

Re: Angelina Jolie: How Brad Pitt & I Fell in Love

i dont think any of us are entitled to be pointing fingers persay.

who knows what jenn and brads relationship was like?

maybe they were "best friends" because they were only that, friends. this is common in long relationships.

was it wrong for angelina and brad to start their relationship while he was still married? absolutely....

but we dont really know anythin about either relationship, so who are we to say who was right or wrong.

I agree too. I think it's easy to say she is a home wrecker but if the foundation of the home was solid, it would be a moot point. I don't think anyone knows what happened in that marriage except the parties involved.

See now... it shouldn't matter if the foundation of the home was solid. Even if it was on shaky ground... a commitment and marriage should mean something. If your marriage wasn't that solid... does that mean it's okay for your husband to find someone else? NO! you work past it and through it.

I'm still not comfortable with it being acceptable for people to begin a relationship while they are still MARRIED to someone else. I don't care who they are.

Re: Angelina Jolie: How Brad Pitt & I Fell in Love

wow...i never understood why everyone blames her for wrecking the marriage - doesn't it take two? I can bet that Jenn & Brad were done way before he even worked with Angelina.

Either way - it's in the past and they look happy now....who cares.
