Angelina Jolie met Jonny Lee Miller while filming “Hackers,” and they wed after the film came out. “It was weird to immediately be married, and then you kind of lose your identity,” Jolie admitted to The New York Times. “You’re suddenly somebody’s wife. And you’re like, ‘Oh, I’m half of a couple now. I’ve lost me.'” After filming “Gia,” Jolie split from Miller and became distraught, but when she won a Golden Globe for “Wallace,” Jolie awoke from her malaise. Despite their marriage only lasting three years, Jolie has had nothing negative to say about her first husband. “We were just too young,” Jolie explained to Parade.
In 2000, Jolie married Billy Bob Thornton in Las Vegas after meeting while playing a married couple in “Pushing Tin.” Their antics fascinated the press and public alike, but the marriage ended two years later after Jolie adopted Maddox from Cambodia. “I think I grew up. I grew in a different direction, and I don’t know if there is one person who has the answer to everything — a soul mate,” Jolie told Cosmopolitan after her divorce from Thornton.
Jolie’s divorce from Brad Pitt was another matter. It was unexpected, explosive, messy, and dragged on forever. Jolie filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences” in 2016. “Angelina will always do what’s in the best interest of taking care of her family,” Geyer Kosinski, Jolie’s manager, told E! News. “She appreciates everyone’s understanding of their need for privacy at this time.”
