While Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s marriage ended with a brutal eight-year divorce battle, the actress shares a wonderful equation with her former husband, Jonny Lee Miller. She has been open about how they got married when she was young and not serious about relationships or responsibilities. Regardless, the Salt star has often praised her former partner and shared how they still have deep respect, appreciation, and care for one another. Recently, Angelina spoke about her current relationship with Jonny 26 years after their divorce.
During her appearance at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Angelina was honored for her work. The event featured a compilation of her projects, including Hackers, which co-starred Miller. It was in this movie that their romance first sparked in 1995. Angelina spoke about her equation with her former husband at the ceremony and shared some insights. She joked, “I was just saying to somebody, it’s funny because I think you’re starting with Hackers, right? Yeah, it’s Jonny. I just talked to him. I love that. I get to see my ex-husband with 2,000 people,” referring to the compilation being played in front of all the attendees.
Angelina continued, “Amazing. It’s so nice to see it. Actually, it’s funny. I don’t really watch my own films, and so I don’t think I’ve seen it since the premiere.” She further revealed, “I do have a wonderful relationship with Jonny, and he and I have sons the same age, and I’m so happy.” For the uninitiated, after dating, they tied the knot in 1996 but divorced in 1999. According to reports, Angelina’s busy schedule was one reason for their split. She also noted that she didn’t feel present enough in their relationship or serious about commitment and the pressures of marriage.
The two never blamed one another for their separation and have remained cordial. “Jonny and I never fought, and we never hurt each other. I wanted to be his wife. I wanted to commit,” the Lara Croft star has stated previously. Following her marriage with Miller, Angelina married Billy Bob Thornton in 2000, but they split after two years and finalized their divorce the following year. After that, she began dating Brad Pitt in 2006, and they married in 2014. After two years, they separated and were involved in a lengthy divorce and custody battle, which culminated in a settlement years later, in December 2024.
Angelina and Brad have six kids together, three of whom are adopted while three are biological. Maddox, Zahara, and Pax were adopted by the couple, while Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox were born to Angelina. This ongoing relationship between Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee Miller proves that sometimes, past relationships can mature into lasting friendships, maintaining a heartfelt bond that persists long after the vows have faded.
