Famous for her off-screen romances, Jolie has been married three times. She married Hackers co-star Jonny Lee Miller in 1995. The couple divorced in 1999. The following year, Jolie married Oscar-winning actor Billy Bob Thornton. This union lasted until 2003.

Jolie met Pitt while premiering Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004. At the time, Pitt was married to Friends star Jennifer Aniston, and his affair with Jolie caused their divorce, leading to a Hollywood scandal that sparked dominated the tabloids for years. Nicknamed “Brangelina,” Jolie and Pitt have become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after couples.

In 2002, Jolie adopted a son from Cambodia and named him Maddox. Three years later, she adopted a daughter, Zahara. In 2005, Pitt filed papers to adopt Jolie’s two children. The couple’s first biological daughter, Shiloh, was born in Namibia in 2006. Jolie, Pitt and their children traveled there to avoid the media frenzy that seemed to follow them everywhere they went.

In March 2007, Angelina Jolie added a new member to her family. She adopted a 3-year-old boy from a Vietnamese orphanage and named him Pax Thien. Jolie then gave birth to twins, Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline, on July 12, 2008, at a seaside hospital in the south of France. The rights to the first images of the twins have been sold to People and Hello! magazines for $14 million – making them the most expensive celebrity photos ever taken.

Pitt and Jolie got engaged in 2012. Slipping under the radar of the paparazzi, they quietly tied the knot in a private ceremony surrounded by family and friends on August 23, 2014, in France.

Divorce from Brad Pitt

In September 2016, Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt and requested sole physical custody of their six children, sparking another tabloid frenzy. Their contentious custody battle played out publicly with allegations that Pitt, after drinking on their private plane, became “verbally abusive” and “physical” with Maddox. The Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services and the FBI opened an investigation but found no signs of abuse; the couple followed with a joint statement that they were working together to resolve their divorce.

Jolie opened up about their split in a September 2017 cover story in Vanity Fair. In the interview, she said in the summer of 2016, “things got tough” in their marriage, but she defended their life together. “[Our lifestyle] was in no way negative,” she told the magazine. “That was not the problem. This is and will remain one of the wonderful opportunities we can provide our children. … They are six very strong-minded and thoughtful worldly individuals. I am very proud of them.

In March 2018, Entertainment Tonight reported that the actress and humanitarian was quietly dating an “older handsome man who is a real estate agent”, although the relationship is not considered serious at this point.

A few months later, it was revealed that Jolie was at risk of losing primary custody of her six children after preventing them from seeing Pitt during their ongoing divorce. According to court documents, the judge in their case declared the children’s lack of a healthy relationship with their father “harmful” and threatened to award primary custody to Pitt if things did not change. The judge suggested some steps the estranged couple could take, including providing Pitt with each child’s mobile phone number, and outlined a schedule of summer visits to follow with Jolie in London to film Maleficent 2.

In August, Jolie’s legal team filed court documents claiming her ex-husband had “paid no meaningful child support since the separation,” a charge Pitt’s team disputed.

Angelina Jolie’s humanitarian actions

A dedicated humanitarian, Angelina Jolie was named a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Refugee Agency in 2001. She made headlines for her work in securing aid for refugees in Cambodia, Darfur and in Jordan, to name a few.

In 2005, Jolie received the Global Humanitarian Action Award from the United Nations Association of the United States for her activism in support of refugee rights. She continued to draw attention to global issues.

Health issues and cancer prevention

Jolie suffered a great personal loss in early 2007 when her mother died of ovarian cancer at the age of 56 after battling the disease for many years. Her grandmother also died of cancer.

In May 2013, Jolie, 37, announced in a New York Times opinion piece titled “My Medical Choice” that she had undergone a double mastectomy in an effort to prevent breast cancer in the future. The actress said she decided to have the surgery after learning she carried a gene known as BRCA1, which increases the risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

“My doctors estimated that I had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer, although the risk is different for every woman,” Jolie said. . “Once I knew this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and minimize the risk as much as I could. By the end of April 2013, Jolie added, she had undergone several months of medical procedures, including a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery.

On March 24, 2015, Jolie wrote in another New York Times article that she had had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed the previous week to further reduce her cancer risk. “I didn’t do this just because I have the BRCA1 gene mutation, and I want other women to hear it,” Jolie wrote. “A positive BRCA test does not mean a jump to surgery. I have spoken to many doctors, surgeons and naturopaths. There are other options. Some women take oral contraceptives or rely on alternative medicines combined with frequent check-ups. There are several ways to treat a health problem. The most important thing is to know the options and choose what suits you personally. »

The actress said she went public with her decision to help “other at-risk women learn about options.” In her interview with Vanity Fair in September 2017, Jolie revealed that she had developed Bell’s palsy, facial nerve damage that caused one side of her face to droop. She said acupuncture helped her fully recover from facial paralysis.
