Angelina Jolie Makes Rare Statement on Friendship With Ex-Husband
At the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Wednesday, Angelina Jolie made rare remarks about where she stands with her ex-husband (via People). Jolie was speaking about her career with film critic Leonard Maltin while receiving the Maltin Modern Master Award when conversation turned to Hackers (1995), the cult-classic cyber-punk thriller in which she starred with her ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller. Jolie and Miller were married from 1996 until 1999. "I was just saying to somebody, it's really funny because I think you're starting with Hackers, right?" Jolie said before Maltin rolled a clip from the movie. "Yeah, it's Jonny,' she continued. 'I just talked to him. I love that—I get to see my ex-husband with 2,000 people," Jolie the clip, Jolie called the experience of making the film—one of her first—'amazing.' 'It's so nice to see it," she said of the scene. "Actually, it's funny, I don't really watch my own films, and so I [don't] think I've seen it since the premiere,' she added. Jolie then diverged and made a rare personal remark, updating the audience on where she and Miller stand 26 years after their divorce. 'I do have a wonderful relationship with Jonny,' she said, adding that 'he and I have sons the same age, and I'm so happy." A source told People back in 2021 that Jolie's son Knox is close pals with Miller's son Buster, whom the Melinda and Melinda star shares with his ex, Michelle Hicks. Following her divorce from Miller, Jolie went on to marry and divorce Billy Bob Thornton and Brad Pitt. Since splitting from Pitt in 2019, Jolie has not been publicly linked to any romantic suitors. She's devoted her time to raising her children and focusing on her humanitarian work, only occasionally appearing in films such as The Eternals (2021) and Maria (2024).

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Angelina Jolie will always deliver effortless elegance. The actor, known sartorially for her quietly luxurious sense of style, exuded sophistication once more as she walked the red carpet Wednesday at the 40th Annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Her ensemble was ivory and monochrome, the centerpiece being a silky floor-length dress with a straight high neckline and thin straps. The piece dropped down to an easy cowl detail at the back, leaving it open aside from a shimmery silver horizontal strap. Jolie's many elaborate back tattoos acted as artful embellishments to the look. The Atelier Jolie founder wore the dress only with black, pointy slingback heels and small gold-and-diamond earrings. She later stayed warm with a structured icy-white blazer. Jolie was honored with the Maltin Modern Master Award at the red-carpet event held in Santa Barbara, California's Arlington Theatre. The award is the film festival's highest honor, and goes to people who've significantly impacted culture through their work in film. At the event, the actor, director, and philanthropist was asked by a KSBY News reporter about her advice to other people trying to make an impact on the world today. 'I think it's very important to listen these days, to really listen and listen most to people with lived experiences and people from the places where... there is struggle and conflict,' Jolie said, adding, 'just really taking the time to listen before you speak and, and give space to other people and other voices.'
