How it Ended

In 2003, after three years of marriage, Thornton and Jolie abruptly announced their separation. Their divorce was finalized later that year, with both acknowledging that their lives had grown apart. Jolie later commented that as their careers and personal goals evolved, they realized they were on different paths.

Their marriage marked the end of one of Hollywood’s most eccentric romances, with both moving on to new chapters in their lives. Jolie later adopted her first child and married Brad Pitt, while Thornton focused on his film work.
