Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie first met while filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2003
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were one of Hollywood's most iconic "it" couples.
The former pair first met in 2003 while portraying the role of husband and wife in the film Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Jolie was enjoying being a single mother, and Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston (the two later split in 2005). Looking back, Jolie recalled to Vogue that it wasn't really love at first sight; she and Pitt just made a good team.
"Because of the film, we ended up being brought together to do all these crazy things, and I think we found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened," Jolie told the publication in 2007.
She continued, "I think a few months in I realized, 'God, I can't wait to get to work.' … Anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork."
The former couple shares six children together: sons Maddox and Pax Thien, daughters Zahara Marley and Shiloh Nouvel and twins Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline.

The actors first crossed paths while filming the spy thriller Mr. & Mrs. Smith, in which they play married assassins. At the time, Pitt was still married to Aniston while Jolie had recently separated from ex-husband Billy Bob Thorton.
"I didn't know much about exactly where Brad was in his personal life," Jolie recalled in a January 2007 Vogue interview. "But it was clear he was with his best friend, someone he loves and respects." Jolie and Pitt remained friends throughout filming.
January 7, 2005: Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston separate
On Jan. 7, 2005, Pitt and Aniston announced their separation. "We would like to announce that after seven years together we have decided to formally separate. For those who follow these sorts of things, we would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any of the speculation reported by the tabloid media. This decision is the result of much thoughtful consideration," Pitt and Aniston said in a joint statement to PEOPLE.
Aniston officially filed for divorce in March of that year, which was finalized on October 2.
2005: Angelina Jolie travels to Ethiopia to adopt daughter Zahara Marley
While Angelina Jolie adopted her first son, Maddox, in 2002 from Cambodia, in the summer of 2005, Jolie became a mother of two after adopting newborn Zahara in Ethiopia. The Eternals actress wasn't sharing too many details at the time, but she did tell PEOPLE that she and Maddox were "happy to have a new addition to our family." Pitt accompanied Jolie to Ethiopia.
"Angie's over the moon," a source close to Jolie told PEOPLE. "It's a dream come true. She's always wanted to extend her family."

In January 2006, the couple hit a milestone in Pitt's journey to legally adopting Jolie's two children, Maddox and Zahara. A Los Angeles judge approved the couple's name-change petition, which requested that Maddox and Zahara's last names be legally changed to Jolie-Pitt.
"It's the idea that you love one another and you want to create a family together," a friend of the couple told PEOPLE at the time. "What's beautiful is you can do it by birth (or) by adoption."
May 27, 2006: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie welcome daughter Shiloh Nouvel
Jolie and Pitt welcomed their first child together on May 27, 2006, a daughter named Shiloh. She was born in Cottage Hospital in Swakopmund, in the African country of Namibia. The name Shiloh is biblical and translates to "the peaceful one."
Representatives of both actors had confirmed to PEOPLE on Jan. 11, 2006 that Jolie was expecting. Jolie first revealed the baby news at a charity center in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
September 2006: Brad Pitt says he and Angelina Jolie will marry when everyone can
In a 2006 Esquire interview, Pitt told the outlet that wedding bells will be in his and Jolie's future once every couple is legal to do the same. "Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able," Pitt said.
He also touched on their growing family, including newborn Shiloh, and the process of legally adopting Maddox and Zahara. "They're as much of my blood as any natural born, and I'm theirs. That's all I can say about it. I can't live without them. So: Anyone considering (adoption), that's my vote," Pitt said.

January 2007: Angelina Jolie publicly addresses their relationship for the first time
Jolie got extremely candid about her relationship with Pitt and how it started in Vogue's January 2007 issue.
"It took until, really, the end of the [shooting Mr. and Mrs. Smith] for us, I think, to realize that it might mean something more than we'd earlier allowed ourselves to believe. And both knowing that the reality of that was a big thing, something that was going to take a lot of serious consideration," she said.
The pair was all about taking things slow, but it was Maddox who helped nudge them along. "[Maddox] just out of the blue called him Dad," Jolie recalled. "It was amazing. We were playing with cars on the floor of a hotel room, and we both heard it and didn't say anything and just looked at each other. So that was probably the most defining moment, when he decided that we would all be a family."
March 2007: Angelina Jolie travels to Vietnam to adopt son Pax Thien
Jolie adopted 3-year-old Pax — whose name means peaceful sky — from Tam Binh orphanage in Vietnam in March 2007. Big brother Maddox accompanied his mom; Pitt was not in attendance due to a scheduling contract with a film he was working on.
Jolie's name was the only one to appear on the adoption application as she and Pitt weren't married at the time, and it's harder for an unmarried couple to adopt under Vietnamese law. But in February 2008, an L.A. County Children's Court judge approved Pax's adoption, and consequently, legally changed Pax's last name to Jolie-Pitt.
"You can imagine what courage it takes to be in all new surroundings, with new people and a new language. He is very strong," Jolie told PEOPLE following the adoption.

July 2008: Angelina Jolie says humanitarianism and philanthropy brought her and Brad Pitt closer
Jolie has been an outspoken humanitarian all her life, but in Vanity Fair's July 2008 issue, she explained it was the philanthropic work Pitt did privately that really brought their worlds together.
"Though he wasn't as publicly active, I found him to be very aware of the world, very curious, very compassionate," Jolie told the publication. "In his private way, he had been doing a lot. When we met, we realized our common goals were that we both wanted to be involved in the world and see what we could do."
She continued, "We have similar interests but different approaches. He's more involved in rebuilding New Orleans, environmental issues, green sustainability. I am more refugees. But when it comes to common goals — orphans, orphans' rights, children — we support each other. It brings us together and makes our relationship work."
July 12, 2008: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie welcome twins Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline
Jolie and Pitt's fraternal twins, son Knox and daughter Vivienne, came into the world on July 12, 2008, in Nice, France. Knox arrived just one minute before his sister.
"It is chaos, but we are managing it and having a wonderful time," Jolie told PEOPLE in her July cover story. The couple and their four other children relocated to Château Miraval for the summer ahead of the twins' arrival.
"[Shiloh] and Z pick out [the twins'] clothes and help change and hold them," Jolie continued. "It's sweet – they are little mommies."

"There's never a period when Brad and I are pulled apart. We are not separated for more than three days, ever," she continued. "We're very homebound. We're very much Mommy and Daddy in our pajamas."

She was told there was an 87 percent chance that she could develop breast cancer. Jolie's mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, died from breast cancer in 2007.
Jolie also publicly thanked Pitt for his support. "I am fortunate to have a partner, Brad Pitt, who is so loving and supportive," she wrote. "So to anyone who has a wife or girlfriend going through this, know that you are a very important part of the transition."
"We knew this was the right thing to do for our family and that it would bring us closer. And it has," she penned.

"I wrote something a few years ago for Brad and me," Jolie told PEOPLE in May 2014. "Just for fun. Just an independent little art piece. Because we don't get to do those as much as we'd like. But it's something really small and experimental."

After a blood test revealed possible detections of early cancer, Jolie scheduled a consultation with a surgeon to undergo tumor testing.

To reduce her risk, she decided to undergo surgery to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes.
Jolie said Pitt immediately boarded a plane after she phoned him with the initial blood test results. "The beautiful thing about such moments in life is that there is so much clarity. You know what you live for and what matters. It is polarizing, and it is peaceful," the mother of six wrote.

Ouderkirk, who was serving as the couple's temporary judge, did not disclose his business relationships with Pitt's attorney, and Jolie argued that this could make his rulings biased.
A source close to the actor told PEOPLE, "Brad believes there is overwhelming evidence that the current situation isn't good for the kids. This just sets things back for everyone."

Pitt and Jolie's former business venture has been at the center of the ex-couple's legal battles. In response to Jolie selling her stake in Château Miraval in 2021, Pitt sued his ex-wife in February 2022, claiming she violated a previous agreement.
According to legal documents obtained by PEOPLE, Pitt alleged that Jolie failed to receive his permission before selling her shares to the Stoli Group, despite their agreement that neither would do so without the other person's approval.
In a new court filing on June 6, 2022, Pitt further accused Jolie of damaging the reputation of the wine business by selling her shares to a "stranger." The Lost City actor claimed that Jolie intentionally "sought to inflict harm on" him by selling her half of the business.
"Jolie pursued and then consummated the purported sale in secret, purposely keeping Pitt in the dark, and knowingly violating Pitt's contractual rights," read the filing.
Pitt's legal team also wrote that Miraval is the actor's "passion" project that grew "into a multimillion-dollar global business and one of the world's most highly regarded producers of rosé wine" through his work. Pitt also accused Jolie of contributing "nothing to Miraval's success."
