The embers of one of Hollywood's most explosive divorces are still burning nine years later. Angelina Jolie, 50, and Brad Pitt, 61, remain locked in an acrimonious legal battle over their French vineyard, Château Miraval, a property once symbolising their dream of a shared life and now a source of 'untold heartache' for the actress.
Yet, amid the public filings and courtroom drama, Jolie has found solace and a confidant in one of her former loves: ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton. While the media machine was once obsessed with their eccentric romance, which included vials of each other's blood worn as jewellery — the two have quietly maintained a deep and trusting alliance that endures today.
