When Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie started dating, the media went crazy. You just couldn’t escape seeing pictures of the two of the most attractive people in Hollywood together in every newspaper, whether you liked, hated, or even cared that they were together.

Hollywood’s most famous couple remained together for 12 years while raising their three biological children and three adoptive children, despite allegations of adultery and covert relationships.

When “Tomb Raider” actress Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt first met on the set of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” in 2004, she already had two adopted boys, Maddox and Pax. Back then, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were still wed.

“We were pulled together to do all these weird things because of the movie, and I guess that’s how we discovered this bizarre connection and collaboration that just sort of formed overnight. A few months in, I believe I came to the realization, “God, I can’t wait to get to work.” Whatever task we had to complete jointly brought us great delight and required a lot of genuine collaboration. We simply sort of clicked,” Angelina Jolie said to People in 2006.

Several speculations of a potential romance between Pitt and Jolie circulated at the time, but the two individuals at the center of the stories remained silent

We spoke and thought about our goals for the future for a long time before realizing that they were quite similar, according to Angelina.

Then, in 2005, Angelina consented to adopt Zahara Marley, an Ethiopian child, and in 2006, Brad Pitt also adopted her.

When Angelina revealed she was carrying Brad’s kid in 2006, they officially became a couple. She and Pitt went to Namibia for the delivery in order to avoid the ensuing media circus
