Your support makes all the difference.Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, the ultimate Hollywood power couple, are set to divorce after two years of marriage and a ten-year relationship.
As one of the most closely scrutinised high-profile relationships in recent time, speculation and interest in the couple developed from the onset when they appeared to begin dating shortly after Pitt’s separation from Jennifer Aniston.
So began the pitting of Aniston against Jolie, with ‘Team Jen’ and ‘Team Ange’ formed, while Aniston endured being asked about her divorce a decade after it happened. 'Brangelina' soon won a legion of fans who heralded their “true love” often because they spoke about each other openly, fondly and lovingly.
Below are some of their most memorable quotes:
