Brad Pitt Confirms It: He And Angelina Jolie Fell In Love While He Was Still Married
I guess the pressure of continually lying to the press and his fans got to be too much for Brad Pitt…on the heels of partner Angelina Jolie telling the world that yes, indeed, they did fall in love on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith (after spending entirely too much energy denying the obvious), he has now said that yep, it happened pretty much when we all thought it did:
Rumours swirled around Pitt and Jolie while they were filming Mr & Mrs Smith in May 2004 - seven months before he split from the former Friends star.
In the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine, Pitt reiterates Jolie’s recent confession that they fell in love while making the movie.
After being asked why the action film is his favourite film, he explained: ‘Because you know… six kids. Because I fell in love.’
Well, some might say you fell in heat, Brad, but whatever floats your little boat.
His admission comes a couple of months after Angelina Jolie totally decided to stick the knife farther into Jennifer Aniston told the NYT that she looked forward to the day she could show her kids just when she and pseudo-daddy fell in luv:
Nonetheless, she said, she looks forward to the day when she can put “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” in the DVD player for the children; “not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love.”
So now we have confirmation from both parties involved. Let’s recap the timeline:
- Mr. and Mrs. Smith started filming in January 2004 and continued off and on until October 2004.
- Jennifer Aniston and Brad formally separated on January 7, 2005, and she filed for divorce in March 2005.
- As of January 2004, the beginning of filming for Brad and Angelina, Jennifer and Brad were still together, although the marriage was rocky during 2004.
- Brad and Jen were still married during the filming of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and were not even separated (although I would also like to point out that separated is still married).
Now, just what is it that both Angie and Brad have said in the past about adultery and such? Angie has said that she has never been able to watch Coming Home because her father supposedly had an affair during it:
Angelina also spoke about her Father, Jon Voight, with whom she has been estranged for quite some time. Jolie had this to say about her dad, “We don’t really have a relationship, but we’re in contact. And wish each other well. I think we’ve realized there’s been too much discussion. Him discussing me publicly. I’ve had to comment on him. I think it’s best that, if we try to have any relationship in the future, we do it quietly.”
Angelina also said she had never been able to view her father’s oscar-winning performance in Coming Home.
“Because that was when my father left my mom, and the woman who he cheated on her with is in the film,” Jolie says.
Guess that one won’t be going in the DVD player for her kids any time soon. However, Angie again has her timeline a bit wonky, because Angelina was born in 1975, her parents separated in 1976, the movie was filmed sometime between 1976 and 1977, when this supposed affair took place, and was released in 1978…you do the math.
Oh wait, what else has she said?
Curry: You have said, “To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning, if I did that.”
Jolie: Yeah, that’s right.
Curry: That says a lot.
Jolie: Yeah, well, I wouldn’t be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.
And Brad has flat denied any rumors that the relationship began during the movie:
There was no mistaking the onscreen chemistry, but for the first time Brad Pitt has publicly refuted long-standing rumours he cheated on his former wife Jennifer Aniston with Angelina Jolie while filming Mr and Mrs Smith.
In a new interview with US talk show host Larry King, the actor hit back at suggestions he began the high profile relationship before his marriage was over.
He insisted to the presenter: “Well, that [romance] came after Larry. That came after.”
Brad first met his now partner on the set of action film in 2004, and within months, his marriage to America’s Sweetheart Jennifer was over.
Whew. Now…what does Jennifer have to say about all this? Not much…which is a refreshing change from Angelina’s babbling on and on about how magical she and Brad’s relationship is. Jennifer has pretty much taken the high road, but recently she’s made a comment or two about how things stand:
In a barbed remark, the actress joked that she goes on holiday with Jolie and Brad Pitt on weekends.
‘The funny thing is that people don’t realise we all go away to the Hamptons on the weekends,’ she told the magazine [GQ].
‘No. But can you imagine? That’d be hysterical,’ and making a reference to the couple’s children, she added: ‘I’ve got Zahara on my hip, and Knox….’
She also spoke about how she is still in touch with Pitt.
‘We don’t not talk,’ she said. ‘When there’s something to congratulate or celebrate, there’s always an exchange. But there’s no charge on it.’
And asked if she talks to Jolie, she retorted: ‘No, Nuh-uh.’
I’m sure that people are going to make me out to be a Jennifer fan, and trust me…I’m not. I find her cloying and puerile, I think she has horrible taste in men, and I don’t think she’s all that great an actress. But she has been remarkably mature in this whole fiasco…more mature than child-hoarding Angelina, 
with her quicksand-like mommy parts, and Bradley, who seems to suffer from a form of environmental dependence syndrome…in this case we might call it relationship dependence syndrome. He mirrors the strongest personality in his life, most of the time whichever woman is in his bed, 
which in this case is Angelina. He likes what she likes because she’s the dominant personality. Anybody remember Gwyneth Paltrow?
This might be a controversial statement to make, but I’d be much less likely to rag on Brad and Angie if they’d just come out with the truth to start with. I’m an adult, and while I don’t agree with it I realize things happen. But they could have waited until there was an official divorce before starting to move ahead with a relationship, instead of pursuing it while Brad and Jen were still married (and yes…separated is still married). They probably wouldn’t have stayed married even if Angelina hadn’t come a-calling, but at this point we’ll never know for sure. Serial homewrecker Angelina could have held back until the papers were signed, instead of actively pursuing Brad during the movie. Brad could have realized he was being led around by the, uh, emotions, and taken a few steps back. But no…typical of those who don’t realize, or care, what they do to others, they wanted what they wanted when they wanted it and how they wanted it and if you don’t like it then two fingers up to you. That, I believe, is the basis of the animosity towards Brad and Angelina.

Sounds like you’re a victim of cheating and projecting your own sour grapes onto Pitt-Jolie. If there is a marriage and one party refuses to have children after the fact (Aniston) the Catholic church would annul it and declare it invalid which means it never really existed. Women who refuses to give life are dead from the inside out, and their marriages are usually selfish and sterile in more ways the one. Pray the Pitt-Jolie raise their children well and praise them for the good and charitable things they are doing and hope they continue to give testimony to love and the God of Life and that they marry in the church soon.

Maria how the hell would you be privy to whether the issue of having children led to the break-up of this marraige? Are you buds with Pitt? I think not.
Your condemnation of women who don’t have children is disgusting. Ever hear of the Westboro Baptist Church? Why don’t you google it, I think you’d fit right in. You seem pretty high up on the ‘religious whack-job” scale.

#2: Oh yeah. Sure. You’ve got me pegged. How in the world did you know?
Because, of course, the only way my common sense circuit kicked in was because I was cheated on. Absolutely. It has nothing to do with the fact that I can look at a situation and see what’s going on with my own eyeballs. Oh no. Why, that’s too easy!

hold up…..this BIG confession comes in the comment of “six kids, I fell in love” so by saying that everyone assumes they fell in love DURING the filming of MAMS? SO by that same mentality they had six kids DURING the filming of MAMS…right????

#2: Does this mean that the only value that I have as a human is bearing children? What if I do not want to have children? What if I spend the rest of my life in public service and decide not to have children? Does that means that I am unworthy? Does that mean that I do not have values and that I should, lets say die? Is this true for any woman? Are we just uteri for men to reproduce and ensure the servival of the species?
K, I love you and the writing is brilliant. No matter how much I try to like Angelina Jolie, I just cannot. I give my time and money to charities, I am spending years and years in college and I am in hundred of thousands in debts from college loan and no one praises women like me, who are going to work in non-profits and public service. I give more than Angelina, much more, based on my income. And I never, never even considered looking at other women’s boyfriends as a potential mate, let alone destroying a family. And so are millions of other people just like me, yet Angelina is suddenly Santa Angelina and Brad is the king of Gods. They lie and lie and all they receive is praise and yet there is sth so evil and manipulative about Angelina that even if she adopts all the millions of children that are orphans, that will still not change my mind.

#6: Thank you, I appreciate the kind words.
You know, I realize that one of the commands given by God to us was to go forth and populate the earth. The Bible also teaches us that children are a blessing. I don’t think you need to read, or even believe, the Bible to realize that.
But if #2 wants to take that tack and argue Scripture, Paul also talks in the New Testament that if one is unmarried (and, in that time frame, that would mean childless), that it is better that they stay that way, so as to more effectively minister and evangelize. After all, if one has children and/or a spouse, one’s first attention should be towards that spouse and those children. But if one is unmarried, they have more attention to give towards spreading the Gospel. Even taking it out of the context of Scripture, it would seem that those who do NOT have children are not as selfish as it might seem…sometimes, having children is a VERY selfish act, if those children are conceived for the wrong reasons. And let’s face it, when you don’t have kids to worry about you DO have more time and energy to devote to charitable acts. It’s harder with kids, especially young kids, and most of us don’t have a team of nannies at our disposal so we can jet off to Africa or Vietnam or wherever.
So no…I don’t believe I am a walking uterus, and I don’t believe that my decision to stop at two kids is selfish, because I know I could not take care of more than two. And if I had chose to not have kids and devote my time elsewhere, that would also not have been selfish, had my husband and I both agreed. A marriage where two people are in agreement concerning important decisions like having or not having kids is NOT sterile, and can in fact be fruitful. However, Brad and Jen should have hammered out the whole kid thing before getting married…but then again, Brad tends to mirror the stronger personality in his life, so when he got around Angelina all of a sudden he wanted kids. Go figgure.
Oh, one more thing…bad people can do good things. Angelina Jolie does do some good works, although I do question her motives. However, that does not make her a good person.

But, K look at the bright side. Brad and Angelina are not as bad as I think; with his type of personality and hers…at least they are using and therefore recycling the same hair color :). As Brad has previously said on living green: “We must be bold” And that starts with that small box of haircolor.
Love your writings.

I second D’s “briliiant” hear, hear! for this post. They’re acting just like Jennifer. “Please, please. Leave us alone and respect our privacy. Now, here are all the details about how we fell in love, the way we like to spend our free time, what pizza toppings we prefer, our shoe sizes and pictures of our kids.”
How those two managed to pull off adultery and come out the other side looking like the Saviors of Mankind will always be a mystery for me.

For all y’all doing the “moral equivalency” bullshit, that’s just what it is.
Brad Pitt was a MARRIED MAN when he met Miss Jolie on the set of M&MS and he should have kept his cojones holstered out of respect for his WIFE and out of adherence to the VOWS he took with Ms. Aniston - until and unless they were fully divorced. Period.
As to their current status as some kind of half-assed saintly couple - I don’t buy it, I have never bought it and there isn’t enough shucking and jiving on earth to convince me otherwise. These two are a pair of self-indulgent losers and I pity those 6 kids.
