Brad Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston when Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were photographed by photographers while they were on vacation in 2005. This information was recently made public by Jann Wenner, the co-founder of Rolling Stone.
Wenner discusses the creation of the image that marked the start of Jolie and Pitt’s relationship in his upcoming memoir “Like a Rolling Stone.”
According to rumours, Angelina Jolie was the one who arrange for her and Brad Pitt’s relationship to be made public.
When Pitt and Aniston’s ex-husband Jolie were reportedly staying at a resort on the African coast with Jolie and her son Maddox, a photographer for the magazine received a tip, according to Wenner, who at the time owned US Weekly.

After appearing in the movie “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” Pitt and Jolie started sparking suspicions that they were dating, but nothing was proven until paparazzi images of them were published.
According to Page Six, the photographer was provided information on the couple’s whereabouts, the time of their daily walk, as well as suggestions for “hidden” photo locations.
Wenner stated, “We got the picture, we had the proof, and we had the big news, the introduction of Brangelina. The informant was Angelina.
In the midst of allegations that he had an affair with Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston announced their separation.
US Weekly claims that Pitt and Aniston jointly declared their separation in January 2005.
“We would like to announce that we have chosen to formally separate after seven years of marriage. We would want to clarify for those who are interested in this kind of thing that our separation is not the consequence of any rumours made public by tabloid media.
We joyfully remain devoted and caring friends who have great love and regard for one another. This decision is the outcome of much careful contemplation.
Pitt and Aniston were finalising their divorce when the images of Jolie and Pitt that proved the two were dating were shot in April 2005.
Pitt and Aniston were officially still married when he was pictured with Jolie on vacation because their divorce was not finalised until October 2005.
As soon as Pitt and Aniston made their divorce plans public, allegations abounded that Pitt’s contentious relationship with Jolie was to blame for their breakup.
Pitt and Aniston were still very much married when they first met and fell in love while filming “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” in January 2004.
Despite the reports, Micky claims that Pitt denied Jolie had anything to do with the breakdown of his marriage to Aniston.
What people don’t realise is that we spent a year filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith, according to Pitt. Even though [Jennifer Aniston and I] broke up, we continued to film; yet, this does not imply that there was some sort of nefarious affair.
Aniston expressed her opinions about Jolie in a 2008 Vogue interview, blasting the actress for being so open about how her relationship with Pitt began while filming “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” during a conversation.
I felt those facts were a little inappropriate to disclose because they were printed there at a time when I wasn’t aware that it was happening, Aniston said to Vogue. That story about [Angelina Jolie] eagerly anticipating each day’s commute to work? That was just not cool.
