Once celebrated as Hollywood’s golden couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s love story, which began in the outcome of Brad’s breakup with Jennifer Aniston, has spiraled into a bitter feud. Brangelina, once iconic, has seen their romance collapse into acrimony.
Their 2016 divorce, two years after their wedding in Miraval, France—a place they shared and cultivated a vineyard—marked the beginning of a tumultuous legal battle. Allegations of abuse, contested NDAs, and numerous legal entanglements have plagued their separation, culminating in the ongoing “War of the Rosés.” Recently, court documents accused Pitt of abusive behavior prior to the 2016 plane incident that prompted Jolie to file for divorce—a claim Pitt denies, and no charges followed an FBI investigation.

Adding to the saga, two of their children, Shiloh and Vivienne, have reportedly dropped Pitt from their surnames. Despite these personal conflicts, both stars attended the Venice Film Festival this week, where Pitt introduced his new relationship with Ines de Ramon, while Jolie was the subject of unfounded romantic rumors.
Their story traces back to 2004 when sparks flew on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, where their on-screen chemistry translated into a real-life connection. At the time, Pitt was married to Aniston, forming one half of a beloved celebrity duo. However, the public’s fascination shifted as the media sensationalized a rivalry between Jolie and Aniston, despite both actresses denying any affair.
Over time, Jolie and Pitt built a large, diverse family, eventually marrying in an intimate ceremony in 2014. But their union unraveled quickly, leading to a prolonged and costly legal battle that continues to this day, marked by disputes over assets, custody, and mutual allegations. The once-idyllic partnership is now a cautionary tale of love turned sour.
