While the couple was once considered Hollywood's "It" couple and openly declared their love for each other, their relationship has since deteriorated into a bitter legal battle. Jolie has even admitted that she fell out of love with Pitt after watching him portray a gym trainer in his $168 million movie, a black comedy spy film. Despite their shared history and six children, the couple no longer speaks publicly about each other.
Angelina Jolie expressed a strong dislike for Brad Pitt while he was wearing gym gear, a sentiment that was reinforced by Pitt himself in an interview. Jolie had previously revealed that Pitt's role in Burning After Reading had caused her to fall out of love with him. Pitt recounted how Jolie had seen him in the gym attire and had said, "This is the first time I can honestly say I’m not attracted to you whatsoever." Jolie continued to bring up the movie, expressing a particular curiosity about Pitt's character, Chad Feldheimer. This incident occurred prior to Jolie's legal victory over Pitt regarding ownership of The Château Miraval winery.
The Coen brothers' 2008 dark comedy feature starred Brad Pitt as the eccentric gym trainer, Chad Feldheimer, who manages to obtain sensitive information from the CIA and exploits the agency for profit. Despite the movie's success in grossing over $163 million worldwide against its $37 million budget and receiving nominations at the Golden Globes and British Academy Film Awards, Angelina Jolie was turned off by Pitt's character and his attire. However, Pitt himself considers Chad to be "one of the most memorable roles" of his career.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's relationship began at a vulnerable time in both of their lives. While Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston, Jolie had recently separated from Billy Bob Thornton. The couple met on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2003, became friends, fell in love, got married, and the rest is history.
In the past, Jolie spoke about how Brad Pitt came as a "surprise" in her life and how neither of them were prepared for the relationship at the time. As the former Special Envoy for the UNHCR, Jolie also commented on Jennifer Aniston, stating that she didn't know much about Pitt's personal life but knew he was with someone he loved and respected, his best friend. As their relationship grew stronger, Pitt announced his separation from Aniston in 2005 after seven years together. The iconic couple shared many memorable moments, from adopting children to welcoming twins. However, in 2016, Jolie filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences," leading to a series of bitter legal battles, including property disputes and Jolie's allegations of abuse.
