Relationships
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Pitt was involved in successive relationships with several of his co-stars, including Robin Givens (Head of the Class),[171] Jill Schoelen (Cutting Class),[171] andJuliette Lewis (Too Young to Die? and Kalifornia), who, at the age of 16, was ten years his junior when they started dating.[27] In addition, Pitt had a much-publicized romance and engagement to hisSeven co-star Gwyneth Paltrow, whom he dated from 1994 to 1997.[171]
Pitt met Friends actress Jennifer Aniston in 1998 and married her in a private wedding ceremony in Malibu on July 29, 2000.[1][172] For years their marriage was considered a rare Hollywood success;[1][173] however, in January 2005, Pitt and Aniston announced that they had decided formally to separate after seven years together.[172] Two months later Aniston filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.[174] Pitt and Aniston's divorce was finalized by the Los Angeles Superior Court on October 2, 2005, legally ending their marriage.[174] Despite media reports that Pitt and Aniston have an acrimonious relationship, Pitt said in a February 2009 interview that he and Aniston "check in with each other", adding that they were both big parts of each others' lives.[175]
During Pitt's divorce from Aniston, his involvement with his Mr. & Mrs. Smith co-star Angelina Jolie attracted vigorous media attention.[176] While Pitt denied claims of adultery, he admitted that he "fell in love" with Jolie on the set.[177] In April 2005, one month after Aniston filed for divorce, a set of paparazziphotographs emerged showing Pitt, Jolie and her son Maddox at a beach in Kenya; the pictures were construed in the press as evidence of a relationship between Pitt and Jolie.[178] During the summer of 2005, the two were seen together with increasing frequency, and the entertainment media dubbed the couple "Brangelina".[179] On January 11, 2006, Jolie confirmed to People that she was pregnant with Pitt's child, thereby publicly acknowledging their relationship for the first time.[180]
In an October 2006 interview with Esquire, Pitt said that he and Jolie would marry when everyone in America is legally able to marry.[181] He reaffirmed his stance to Parade in August 2009,[182] and again to People in July 2011.[183] In February 2010, Pitt and Jolie successfully sued British tabloid News of the World for falsely reporting that they were separating, a story that had been widely picked up by credible media outlets.[184]
