Even though Angelina Jolie has had a stellar career, her love life has been pretty rough. From issues with her father, Jon Voight, to her messy split with Brad Pitt, she’s had her share of drama. Throughout her life, Jolie has been married to three actors: Jonny Lee Miller, Billy Bob Thornton, and Brad Pitt. Sadly, all three ended in divorce. Why did all these relationships fail? Let’s see if we can figure it out.
1. Angelina Jolie And Jonny Lee Miller
Before she became the most wanted actress in all of Hollywood, Jolie married Jonny Lee Miller in 1996 after meeting on the set of “Hackers.” Their wedding was anything but traditional, with the only two guests being her mother and his best friend. Jolie made headlines by wearing black rubber pants and a T-shirt with Miller’s name written in her blood—a wild and memorable choice. She explained to The New York Times that she was okay with sacrificing a few drops since it was for her husband. Still very weird, if you ask me.
Unfortunately, the marriage didn’t last. Jolie felt she lost her identity, and they divorced a bit over a year later. Jolie noted in an interview that it felt weird to immediately be married, and lose her identity. She took full responsibility for their split, even admitting that her demanding career and emotional distance were significant factors. The actress didn’t think it was fair to leave their relationship on the backburner while she was busy with her career. Jolie said that they never fought or hurt each other, but she wasn’t ready to sacrifice her career.
Despite the divorce, they stayed close friends, and they’ve been seen together multiple times, including with her kids in 2021.
