Jonny Lee Miller

Thanks to co-starring in the movie Hackers (1995), Angelina Jolie found a peaceful but short-lived home with actor Jonny Lee Miller. The couple held a simple wedding in March 1996. Being a personality and a bit eccentric, the 7X beauty's wedding outfit at that time was black rubber pants and a white shirt with the groom's name written on it in her blood. Unfortunately, the two decided to break up in September 1997 and completed the divorce proceedings 2 years later. Although they no longer live together, they still maintain a good relationship and consider each other friends. PHOTO: UNITED ARTISTS/SHUTTERSTOCK

According to PageSix, in a 2004 interview, Angelina Jolie admitted that divorcing Jonny Lee Miller "was probably the stupidest thing I ever did." The actress also revealed to the Calgary Sun that they never once fought or hurt each other. The beauty once praised her ex-husband as a man and a trustworthy friend. PHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK

The relationship between Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee Miller has been the focus of the press in recent days when the 46-year-old star was discovered visiting her ex-husband's house in New York during a trip with her children in this city.

Billy Bob Thornton

After her first marriage broke down, Angelina Jolie had new relationships and met her second husband, actor Billy Bob Thornton, on the set of Pushing Tin (1999). However, at that time, the actor born in 1955 was engaged to Laura Dern and the 7X beauty was said to be dating co-star Timothy Hutton.

The relationship between Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton was a crazy love affair in the eyes of the media and the public at that time.

They even kept fresh blood in a pendant and wore it around their necks. The beauty of the movie Grave Robbers also tattooed her husband's name on her arm to show her intense love. PHOTO: REUTERS

In 2002, shortly after adopting son Maddox from Cambodia, their marriage fell apart. The couple finalized their divorce about a year later, but they remained friends and kept in touch. Angelina Jolie shared about the sudden divorce: "It surprised me because overnight, we completely changed. I think there was a day when we suddenly had nothing in common anymore... it's scary but it can happen when you get married without really understanding what you want." PHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK

In an interview with Us Weekly in 2018, Billy Bob explained the reason for the breakup: "Angelina Jolie has always been a perfectionist and ambitious, while I was a free-spirited and somewhat spontaneous person at the time." He admitted that he and his ex-wife had a wonderful time together and never hated each other. PHOTO: GETTY

Brad Pitt

The beautiful Hollywood rose met Brad Pitt on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) and quickly caused a stir in public opinion with suspicions of "fake love, real love".

Angelina has been criticized for being the third person who interfered in her co-star's happiness. In response to the accusation of being a "third person", the beauty born in 1975 spoke out: "Being intimate with a married man - while my father had an affair - is something I cannot accept. I would not dare to look at myself every morning if I dared to do that. I am not attracted to a man who is willing to cheat on his wife". PHOTO: MOVIESTORE/SHUTTERSTOCK

After a noisy period, Brangelina quickly became the most sought-after couple in Hollywood thanks to the wonderful effect of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and their perfect match in appearance, fame and talent. Their blossoming love affair made the public endlessly curious and gossipy, while the media constantly updated "every move" of the two main characters. PHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK

Until now, their divorce is still considered the most regrettable breakup in Hollywood. PHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK
