Angelina Jolie’s husbands: Her marriages over the years

She has been married three times, with all her marriages being to fellow actors. As of 2026, Jolie is not married and has been publicly single for several years, reportedly focusing on her children and humanitarian work.

Below is a closer look at Angelina Jolie’s ex-husbands.

Jonny Lee Miller (1996 – 1999)

• Full name: Jonathan Lee Miller
• Date of birth: 15 November 1972
• Age: 53 years old (as of 2026)
• Place of birth: Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom
• Profession: Actor

Jonny Lee Miller is an English-American actor known for his roles as Sick Boy in Trainspotting, Dade Murphy in Hackers, and Sherlock Holmes on the CBS series Elementary. He and Angelina Jolie were married from 1996 to 1999. The former couple first met on the set of the movie Hackers in 1995. After dating for about six months, they got married in 1996.

Their wedding became famous for Jolie’s choice of attire. As reported by Brides, she wore a lack rubber pants and a white T-shirt with Miller’s name written on the back in her own blood. The couple separated just 18 months later in 1997, citing the strain of maintaining a long-distance relationship while their individual careers took off.

Jonny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie officially divorced in 1999. In the early years of their marriage, Angelina Jolie admitted that adjusting to married life was difficult, especially as her fame continued to grow. He told The New York Times in 1996:

It was weird to immediately be married, and then you kind of lose your identity. You’re suddenly somebody’s wife. And you’re like, ‘Oh, I’m half of a couple now. I’ve lost me.’ We went on some morning show, and they threw rice on us, and they gave us toasters. I was thinking, ‘I need to get myself back.’

Even after their divorce, Jolie and Miller stayed close friends and have been seen together several times in London and New York. During a Q&A at the 2025 Santa Barbara International Film Festival, as reported by People, Jolie said:

I do have a wonderful relationship with Jonny. He and I have sons the same age, and I’m so happy.

Billy Bob Thornton (2000 – 2003)

• Full name: Billy Bob Thornton
• Date of birth: 4 August 1955
• Age: 70 years old (as of 2026)
• Place of birth: Hot Springs, Arkansas, United States
• Profession: Actor, filmmaker, screenwriter, singer-songwriter

Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton, known for writing, directing, and starring in Sling Blade (1996), met in 1999 on the set of Pushing Tin, where they played husband and wife. They got married in Las Vegas in 2000, shortly after Thornton abruptly ended his engagement to actress Laura Dern.

During their marriage, Jolie adopted her first son, Maddox, in 2002. The couple separated later that year and officially divorced in May 2003, and Jolie sought full custody of Maddox. Even after the split, they remained on good terms, with Thornton later saying they are still very close friends. He told Rolling Stone in November 2025:

And of course, Angelina [Jolie] and I had a great time together. That was one of the greatest times of my life. She and I are still very, very close friends. And that was the one that ended up being a really civilised breakup. We simply split up because our lifestyles were so different.

Brad Pitt (2014 – 2019)

• Full name: William Bradley Pitt
• Date of birth: 18 December 1963
• Age: 62 years old (as of 2026)
• Place of birth: Shawnee, Oklahoma, United States
• Profession: Actor, film producer

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, famously known as Brangelina, met while filming the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005. At the time, Pitt was married to actress Jennifer Aniston. The couple announced their separation in January 2005, and their divorce was finalised later that year.

Though Jolie and Brad initially denied romance rumours, they later admitted to falling in love during filming. Over the years, they built a large family together, raising six children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne. Besides acting, the couple also worked on humanitarian projects through the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

Angelina and Pitt got engaged in 2012 and married on 23 August 2014 at their French estate, Château Miraval, in a private ceremony attended by family and close friends. However, their marriage ended two years later when Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016 following an alleged physical altercation on a private plane involving Pitt and their children.

A year into the divorce, Angelina Jolie’s ex-husband, Brad Pitt, spoke about how stressful court battles can be. He told GQ in 2017:

I heard one lawyer say, ’No one wins in court — it’s just a matter of who gets hurt worse. And it seems to be true, you spend a year just focused on building a case to prove your point and why you’re right and why they’re wrong, and it’s just an investment in vitriolic hatred. I just refuse. And fortunately, my partner in this agrees.

Although Pitt was cleared of criminal charges, the split led to a long and highly publicised legal battle involving child custody and ownership of Château Miraval. In 2019, a judge declared Jolie and Pitt legally single, but their court disputes continued for several more years.

Their divorce became one of Hollywood’s longest-running celebrity separations before reports confirmed a settlement in late 2024.

Angelina Jolie’s ex-boyfriends

Aside from her three high-profile marriages, Angelina Jolie has had several public, non-marital relationships and rumoured flings. Here are the confirmed and widely reported ex-boyfriends of Angelina Jolie:

Teen Love (1989 – 1990)

Angelina Jolie once opened up about a serious relationship she had as a teenager, describing it as feeling like a “marriage” during an interview with the Calgary Sun. The romance began when she was 14 years old, and her boyfriend reportedly moved into the home she shared with her late mother, Marcheline Bertrand.

The relationship lasted for about two years before ending. Jolie later admitted the breakup was painful and said she threw herself into acting to help cope with it.

When I was 14, my boyfriend moved into my mother’s house with me. We were together and serious for two years. That relationship felt like a marriage. It was a tough breakup, so I immersed myself in acting to get over it.

• Date of birth: 16 June 1967
• Age: 58 years old (as of 2026)

Angelina Jolie and Jenny Shimizu met in 1996 while filming the movie Foxfire. Their connection was immediate, with Jolie later saying she fell in love with Shimizu the moment she saw her. She even described their bond as deep and meaningful, and even said she might have married Shimizu if she had not already married Jonny Lee Miller.

As reported by InStyle, the famous actress told Girlfriends magazine in 1997:

I probably would have married Jenny Shimizu if I hadn’t married my husband. I fell in love with her the first second I saw her… She’s great. We had a lot of fun.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Angelina Jolie opened up about how her relationship with Jenny Shimizu helped her discover new feelings about love and attraction. She said,

I realised that I was looking at [Shimizu] in a way that I had looked at men….And it was great, and it was a discovery. It had never crossed my mind that I was going to one day experiment with or kiss a woman; it was never something I was looking for. I just happened to fall for a girl.

Timothy Hutton (1997 – 1999)

• Full name: Timothy Hutton
• Date of birth: 16 August 1960
• Age: 65 years old (as of 2026)
• Place of birth: Malibu, California, United States

Angelina Jolie and actor Timothy Hutton were romantically linked between 1997 and 1999 after meeting while filming the movie Playing God. In the film, Hutton played a criminal mastermind while Jolie played his girlfriend, and their on-screen chemistry reportedly carried into real life.

Val Kilmer was an American actor known for playing iconic roles in films such as Top Gun, The Doors, Tombstone, and Batman Forever. He and Angelina Jolie sparked dating rumours in 2004 while filming Alexander, where they played the parents of Alexander the Great.

Although there is no confirmed evidence that they dated at the time, Val Kilmer later revealed in his 2020 memoir I’m Your Huckleberry that he was deeply attracted to Jolie and admired her personality. As documented by People, he said:

I couldn’t wait to kiss Angie, buy her a Gulfstream jet and have a V+J painted in rainbow glory on the tail. She had recently adopted her first child, Maddox, and the paparazzi were obsessed with this postmodern Madonna, the perfect picture of unapproachable stardom and impossibly chic maternal instinct.

Kilmer also admitted he went as far as to ask the director to add some flashback scenes where the on-screen couple were in love. He wrote:

He didn’t pick up on the humour. I tried to clarify. Finally, I just sighed. ‘Oh, never mind. I just dig her, Oliver [Stone]. It would be nice if we had some flashbacks when they were in love and happy together.’

The Weeknd (2021)

• Full name: Abel Tesfaye
• Date of birth:16 February 1990
• Age: 36 years old (as of 2026)

Later that year, they were seen leaving the restaurant together again, adding to the dating speculation.

The pair were also seen at a private concert for Mustafa the Poet, where Jolie attended with her daughters Zahara and Shiloh. Reports claimed they bonded over their shared humanitarian interests, especially their connection to Ethiopia.

In January 2022, The Weeknd added to the dating rumours when he released his album Dawn FM. Fans believed the lyric “My new girl, she a movie star” from the song Here We Go… Again, it was about Angelina Jolie. Despite the public attention, neither star confirmed they were dating. The Weeknd was spotted kissing DJ Simi Khadra one month later.

In addition, Angelina Jolie has been linked to several other celebrities over the years. She reportedly dated Mick Jagger (1997), Jared Leto (2002–2003), Colin Farrell (2003–2004), Nicolas Cage (2003), and Johnny Depp (2010–2011), although none of these relationships was ever confirmed.
