“If I did that, I couldn’t look at myself in the morning. I wouldn’t be attracted to a man who cheated on his wife.’
The couple tied the knot in 2014 after dating for almost ten years.
‘Brangelina’ shares six children: Maddox, who Jolie adopted from Cambodia in 2002, Zahara, who was adopted from an Ethiopian orphanage in 2005, and Pax are the couple’s non-biological children.
