While the world watched on the big screen as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie fell in love in the 2004 hit Mr. and Mrs. Smith, these two were originally tight-lipped about their relationship. 10 years, six kids, and one year of marriage later, the couple has found multiple occasions to open up about what makes their love and marriage work.
Take a look at these 10 incredible quotes on love by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Pitt.
10. “The children certainly tie us together, but a relationship won’t hold if it’s only about the kids. You also must be really interested in each other and have a really, really wonderful, exciting time together. We do. Brad and I love being together. We enjoy it. We need it, and we always find that special time.” – Angelina Jolie
9. “There are no secrets at our house. We tell the kids, ‘Mom and Dad are going off to kiss.’ They go, ‘Eww, gross!’ But we demand it.”– Brad Pitt
8. “I’m still a bad girl. I still have that side of me. It’s just in its place now. It belongs to Brad—or our adventures.” – Angelina Jolie
7. “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.” – Brad Pitt
6. “We both have been married before, and it’s very easy to get married, but it’s not easy to build a family and be parents together. Maybe we’ve done it backwards, but we certainly feel married.” – Angelina Jolie
5. “I am very lucky with Brad. He is a real gentleman, but he is also a real man’s man. He’s got the wonderful balance of being an extraordinary, great, loving father, a very, very intelligent man and physically he’s a real man.” – Angelina Jolie
4. “We spent a lot of time contemplating and thinking and talking about what we both wanted in life and realized that we wanted very, very similar things. And then we just continued to take time. We remained very, very good friends—with this realization—for a long time. And then life developed in a way where we could be together, where it felt like something we would do, we should do.” – Angelina Jolie
3. “You get together and you’re two individuals and you feel inspired by each other, you challenge each other, you complement each other, drive each other beautifully crazy. After all these years, we have history—and when you have history with somebody, you’re friends in such a very real, deep way that there’s such a comfort, and an ease, and a deep love that comes from having been through quite a lot together.” –Angelina Jolie
2. “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.” – Brad Pitt
1. “Brad has expanded my life in ways I never imagined. We built a family. He is not just the love of my life, he is my family. I hold that very dear. I suppose what I’ve learned from Brad is to be able to have the kind of family whose happiness and well-being comes before your own.” – Angelina Jolie
