Getty ImagesBrad on... The beginning
In 2003, it was believed that Angelina and Brad fell for each other on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith. When the movie was released, the undeniable chemistry of the two only fed the news.
After Pitt's divorce was finalised with Jennifer Aniston, him and Ange assumed their relationship and the world grew fond of the new power couple.
Although at the time, the two never admitted falling in love on set, in 2008 Brad gave an interview to Rolling Stone magazine, saying that Mr & Mrs Smith was his favourite action movie, and why? "Because you know... six kids. Because I fell in love." - said Brad.

"That's who I fell in love with from the very beginning. The person that you see now is the person that I've always known and she's heroic and incredibly strong and will attack any problem head-on and make it work."

The couple went on to have an amazing relationship that blossomed into a gorgeous big family, together they have 6 children, 3 biological and 3 adopted: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne.
In an interview with Parade magazine, Brad gushed:
“One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom. She’s such a great mom. Oh, man, I’m so happy to have her. With a partner like Angie, I know that when I’m working, the kids are happy, safe, and prospering. And when Angie’s working, she knows she has the same.”

It is no news that Brad and Ange were probably one of the most gorgeous couples that walked the face of Earth. And for those who'd think that such a handsome man would be condescending to his woman's beauty, Brad knows what a lucky man he was - telling E! News he considered himself lucky waking up next to Angelina:
"I get up some mornings and gasp."

The gorgeous duo had been together since 2004, but only got married 10 years after, as they were waiting for the American government to legalise same-sex marriage. When asked if they would ever tie the knot, Brad said: "We'd actually like to, and it seems to mean more and more to our kids. We made this declaration some time ago that we weren't going to do it til everyone can. But I don't think we'll be able to hold out. It means so much to my kids, and they ask a lot. And it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment.”
In 2014, the couple got married in a very intimate ceremony in France. Twenty guests hummed Here Comes The Bride while Ange walked down the aisle with the children. The beauty wore an unforgettable Versace dress, printed with their kids' drawings, whom also helped Brad and Angelina write their vows - the ultimate simplistic (yet elegant) ceremony.

In 2011, Brad stated that he was finally satisfied with his life, gushing unforgettable words about love: "I’m satisfied with making true choices and finding the woman I love, Angie, and building a family that I love so much. A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss. That’s the trade-off. But I’ll take it all.”

Angelina is definitely one of Hollywood's stars drastic transformations. Back in the 90s, Ange used to rock all-black semi-gothic looks. She had a bad-girl mysterious image, that the tabloids loved to pick on. When asked on a CBS interview what Pitt thought about his partner's bad-girl ways, he said: "She’s still a bad girl, delightfully so. It’s not for public consumption."

“There's a more profound feeling when I look back at all the things my wife and I have gone through; all the successes and failures and great passions and great fights and that we have that together is something I can’t quite get my arms around but, to me, it’s much more enticing than the newness of relationships.”

"I worry about them all the time. That's the emotional bond and responsibility that sweeps over you when you have a family to look after. I care about them more than I care about myself, which I think is the real definition of love. You see past yourself and become more generous and giving, and wanting only the best for your family."

Shortly after their wedding the couple skipped their honeymoon to shoot a new movie. By the Sea was written and directed by Angelina, and starred Brad, the two were working together once again, but this time around Brad was not only working with his wife, but for his wife.
On their partnership, Pitt said: "Angelina knows very well what she wants and I don't get any special treatment on set. As an actor you need a good relationship to the filmmaker to trust blindly and let yourself fall into it. We know each other so well, just one gaze from her and I know, I fucked up this scene."
Getty ImagesBrad on... How strong is sexy
On another interview to V Magazine about their movie together, Brad talked about his wife's strong personality, on what is definitely one of our favourites quotes from him: "It's surprising how much I enjoy the direction of my wife. She's decisive, incredibly intuitive, and might I say, sexy at her post. I trust her with my life."
Getty ImagesBrad on... Angelina's bravery
In 2013, Angelina found out that she carried a gene that makes her more likely to develop breast and ovarian cancer. The actress made the decision to undergo a double mastectomy.
Brad stood by his wife's side and about her decision he stated: "Having witnessed this decision firsthand, I find Angie's choice, as well as many others like her, absolutely heroic. All I want is for her to have a long and healthy life, with myself and our children."

Her proactive decision was an outstanding act of bravery, but some questioned Angelina's procedure and controversial opinions were all over the media. At a red carpet event, Brad supported his wife, and said: "You have to understand that this is a woman who never knew she'd make it to 40. This is a woman who had watched her mother, aunt and grandmother and eventually succumb, at an early age. Her drive, her absolute value in herself, is defined by the impact she can have during her time here."
Brad continued: “Whatever’s got to be done to keep the family together, and keep the family together as long as possible is gonna be done. This was her charge, no question. It’s a scary decision. There’s many things that can go wrong and go many different directions.”

At the premiere of By the Sea, Brad opened up about making relationships work: "I think, for me, it's just that the road is long, and it's worth fighting for. The dividends worth fighting for, instead of jumping ship, is more profound than any beginning, any kind of new romance."

Parenting is not am easy job, but Ange certainly keeps Brad motivated: "Angelina is just amazing. I'll be tired and lie down on the sofa and then she'll keep going until late at night. And that makes me feel like, 'Why am I taking it easy?' so I'll go help out and play with the boys and get them to bed. You realise that you always have the energy inside you, and as a parent you need to have a lot of willpower."
