Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton, married from 2000 to 2003 after meeting on the set of Pushing Tin in 1999, ended their union amicably due to differing lifestyles. Thornton recently described their time together as “one of the greatest times of my life” in a November 2025 Rolling Stone interview.
“Angelina and I had a great time together... She and I are still very, very close friends.”
The pair remains on warm terms, with Thornton calling their split a “civilized breakup” and emphasizing no regrets. Recent reports highlight their bond persists two decades later, potentially aiding Jolie during her nine-year divorce dispute with Pitt.
