## Resource

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie seemed destined to become Hollywood royalty after falling in love on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, building a global empire of fame, philanthropy, and six children. But behind the glamorous image, cracks were forming that would eventually lead to one of the most bitter and prolonged celebrity breakups in modern history. On this episode of Splits, Derek Kaufman and Katie Hayes trace Brangelina’s rise from controversial beginnings to power-couple dominance, then unpack the private struggles, explosive allegations, custody war, and years-long legal battles that turned their separation into an international spectacle. From the infamous plane incident to the ongoing disputes over their French winery, this is the story of how Hollywood’s most iconic romance fell apart. Learn more about your ad choices.
