Angelina Jolie And Brad

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, a.k.a. “Brangelina,” are the hot Hollywood commodity that nobody can get enough of. Paparazzi hang from trees to capture a few well-timed shots and tweeters love them or hate them, depending on their feelings about Jennifer Aniston. What is it that makes Angelina Jolie and Brad such an interesting couple?

They are known for short-term marriages. Both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have previously been married. While formerly romantically linked to Gwyneth Paltrow from 1995 to 1997, Pitt ended up marrying Jennifer Aniston in 2000. They divorced in 2005. Jolie was first married to Johnny Miller from 1996 to 1999 and then said ‘I do’ to Billy Bob Thornton; this marriage lasted from 2000 to 2003.

The treatment of Jennifer Aniston marred their public image. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt met in 2005 while filming “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston when the rumors about his and Jolie’s off-screen shenanigans became public. Aniston eventually filed for divorce and Jolie confirmed her pregnancy in January, 2006. Aniston’s fans never quite forgave Brangelina for what they believe was an adulterous affair.

The couple currently raises six children. Three of the children are adopted and three are the biological children of Angelina Jolie and Pitt.

No news about a wedding. With Jolie and Pitt being such a hot commodity, speculation about up and coming nuptials are virtually ever-present. See one of them frowning, and the paparazzi allege splitsville; find her buying a family ring, and the suggestion of a wedding band is not far behind. Truth be told, the closest the couple ever came to publicly discuss marriage was when Pitt mentioned that they would not marry until everyone in America has the legal right to do so.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will continue to have the headlines buzzing. Even so, it is anyone’s guess if Brangelina will ever truly exclude mentions of Aniston.
