From the moment they fell in love, through having children together and becoming husband and wife, the journey of the Jolie-Pitt couple shattered all preconceptions about "flings" in Hollywood.
 |
| On the evening of September 20th (Vietnam time), numerous major news outlets reported that Angelina Jolie had officially filed for divorce from Brad Pitt after two years of marriage and 12 years together. People and TMZ confirmed this news from the famous actress's management. This news shocked the international press because Brangelina was a symbol of success and happiness in Hollywood. |

 |
| She once captivated the world when she revealed to the New York Times about her love for Brad. “I called him when he was in France and then he appeared before me in the blink of an eye. The most beautiful things in life are moments like that.” In 2013, when Angelina Jolie had to undergo a mastectomy due to a potential risk of breast cancer, Pitt called her a “heroine.” |
