L&S: Angelina Jolie plans to marry her mystery British-philanthropist boyfriend?

71st British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) - Arrivals

A quick correction: I claimed that Angelina Jolie had taken a few of her kids to see Tomb Raider. That’s what the Daily Mail said! As it turns out, Angelina took her kids to see Love, Simon, not Tomb Raider. Which is still noteworthy because… ha, Angelina didn’t go to the reboot. She chose the well-reviewed, word-of-mouth hit Love, Simon instead.

Anyway, many of us have speculated about Angelina’s love life, whether she has a man or several men, whether she’s getting some on the downlow, or whether she’s truly just focused on being a mom and making sure her kids are doing well. If and when Angelina does take a lover or get a boyfriend, I think many of us believe that the guy will be British, and he won’t be in the film industry. Well guess what?

Brad, who? Angelina Jolie’s been keeping a low profile lately. But she hasn’t been hiding out alone. Besides spending quality time with her six kids, the actress has been secretly dating — and she’s gotten intensely serious about one man in particular.

“There’s a millionaire British philanthropist who she’s been quietly seeing for over a year now,” a close friend reveals. “Gradually, their romance blossomed into real love.” Now she’s ready to take the next step with her mystery man: down the aisle! Life & Style has exclusively learned that Angelina is planning to marry husband No. 4 this summer in London. She’s taking all the necessary steps, pushing to finalize her divorce from Brad Pitt and moving their six kids to the UK a few months before the ceremony. “She’s decided to marry her wealthy beau as soon as the ink is dry on the divorce from Brad,” the friend says. “In fact, Angie’s so in love that she was the one to propose!”

The timing couldn’t be better. Angelina, 42, is scheduled to be in her fiancé’s home country from April until August to film Maleficent 2 and to fulfill her duties as a visiting professor at the London School of Economics. That will allow her to be in England long enough to do some hands-on wedding planning. And kids Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 11, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 9, are happy to be a part of it. “While they love Brad, the children really like weddings and are incredibly excited about Angelina marrying again,” an insider shares. “They’ll be heavily involved in putting together the ceremony, which Angie is hoping to hold in late July or early August at the mansion the family’s renting outside of London. Pax has already called dibs on providing the music and overseeing the baking of the cake for the reception!”

Her brood isn’t just helping organize the “I do’s”. They’re also being eyed for starring roles. “Angelina’s thinking of having Zahara andVivasbridesmaids, and decided that Shiloh should walk her down the aisle,” says the insider. Though Pax asked to remain behind the scenes, Knox will be a ring bearer and Maddox will serve as the groom’s best man. “Maddox wants to play a crucial role,” the insider says. “In some ways, he feels like the man of the family now.”

When Brad’s not around, that is. Angie and the actor, 54, were together for 11 years, and married for two, before she blindsided him by filing for divorce in September 2016 after an altercation between Brad and Maddox on a private plane. While months of court-ordered therapy, supervised visitation and tense custody talks followed, the exes are in a good place now — and Brad has actually given the summer wedding his blessing. “He will probably be left off the wedding guest list, but Brad’s told pals that Angie deserves happiness even if it’s not with him,” the insider says. “He’s just thrilled about her getting ready to sign off on the divorce so that he can get on with his life as well.”

[From Life & Style]

I mean, obviously this is complete and total fiction. The only true thing is that Angelina is going to spend a chunk of the year in England filming Maleficent 2, and giving lectures at the London School of Economics. Now, that being said… she has made a lot of trips to England over the past year. Is it possible she has some quiet British lover and no one has figured out who it is? Angelina knows how to keep her secrets locked down, so it wouldn’t surprise me if she did have someone she could meet up with every few months. And I hope she does have someone like that. She should go out and get hers. But no, even if she loved the guy to a crazy degree, Angelina’s not getting remarried any time soon (or ever).

    I just don’t see her getting married ever again. Maybe another long term committed relationship, but not marriage.

    I should do a movie day. I seen anything in the theater since Black Panther.

    • Jamie says:

      I don’t know. She has been married 3 times. She is definitely the marrying type. Maybe not soon but she seems to be the type that wants a whole family.

      • KBB says:

        I think the kids are all the family she needs. Her earlier marriages seem to me like she was trying to a fill a hole or something. Then she had the kids and it took her a decade to marry Brad. He was a lot more gung ho about getting married. Maybe she just knew they had problems and that’s why she was reluctant, but I think it was more that she no longer felt unfulfilled because she was a mom.

    • whatWHAT? says:

      I agree, I don’t think she’ll marry again. long term relationship, eventually, but no more marriage.

      and this…

      “Maddox will serve as the groom’s best man.” is one of the most ridiculous fan fiction tidbits ever. as if the fictional groom wouldn’t have someone to fill that role?!

    • citney says:

      Angelina never wanted to marry Brad, she did it because their children wanted them to marry. She and Brad were much happier the way they were, unmarried and in a committed relationship.

      As for her seeing Love Simon, I can understand why she didn’t take her children to see the reboot of Lara Croft, I’m sure they’ve seen the version starring their Mother, the kids would probably have been bored.

      As for Angie being “in love” with a British millionaire, that’s nothing but tabloid nonsense. Since the divorce is taking so long, going on two years now, I would not be surprised if she and Brad were making absolutely sure they cannot repair their relationship before taking the final step. I’m sure they still love each other, plus they share six children they both love and want only the best for, which would be a family with their Mother and father together.

  2. Maria F. says:

    i love these articles. A mysterious British philanthropist…. No names, no dates, no pics, no proof.

    Nice investigative journalism.

  3. Frome says:

    Why isn’t the divorce final yet? It’s been over two years right? The Affleck Garners get flack for “dragging it out” despite presenting a unified front for their kids, meanwhile these two are unable to share a room but are still not on common ground to finalise?

    • Maya says:

      Brad asked the court to extend until end of year.

      Maybe they are trying to make sure everything is split equally and the children’s welfare is taken care off.

      • citney says:

        @Maya

        Angelina said from the first she wanted no money. It doesn’t take this long to finalize a divorce both parties really want.

    • kate says:

      But we know why the divorce is not final, ie children custody/visitation. Also, these two are not running to the press every few days to tease a possible reconciliation while complaining about media intrusion.
      And Jen G presented a unified front on her own. Ben was busy “unifying” with the nanny, Lindsay, and god only knows who else.

      • Frome says:

        The Garner Afflecks don’t tease a reconciliation any more than these two do. When long established famous couples split, the “back together” headlines are inevitable. Would you like me to dig up the hundreds of similar back together pieces about Brangelina from “inside sources”? Also, set the hate aside for two seconds and acknowledge that Ben and Jen have gone over and above to protect their kids from “feud storylines”. They are frequently seen together and that can only be a good thing for their kids.

        I think co-parenting for both pairs is complicated by the husbands addiction issues and the risks those bring. I think Jens solution has been to personally monitor his contact with the kids. You will rarely see him alone with them and when you do, there’s usually a nanny in the background. Angelina on the other hand seems more focused on getting him to accept third party monitoring which I can only assume hasn’t worked or he would have been out and about with them at least once in two years.

      • citney says:

        @Kate

        The Garner-Affleck situation was totally different. Big Ben was cheating from day one, they had been having problems years before they separated, even had a “band-aid baby”.

        Angie said they only started having problems a few months before the plane incident. Whatever happened on that plane upset Angie and the kids so much Angie (and the court therapists) felt she could not risk having Brad around the kids.

        Brad Pitt has looked like a man who has been through hell, which I’m sure he has. The guilt he must feel must be overwhelming, hopefully therapy is helping him deal with whatever issues he was having. In fact, since the whole family has been in therapy they may come out of this with an even stronger bond. And no, I’m not saying they will reconcile, but they will no doubt come out of this tragedy as friends who can co-parent their children.

      • Krill says:

        Brad himself says he hasnt been sober since his 20s. I would say thats a much bigger problem than Ben who was sober for a period and whos cheating appears to have began after the second daughter was born. I suspect the wedding was itself a band aid. There were already many many reports that their relationship was unstable and the very fact that young children would demand their parents cement their relationship in marriage should tell us that they too sensed instability and naively believed that a wedding ring would solve that.

    • Peg says:

      The first few months, they were both angry, but having six children, you have to get over the anger and deal with each other.
      Brad and Angelina just have to suck it up, because their lives will be entwine for a long time.

      • citney says:

        @Peg
        Entwined till death, and any other person in their lives will have to deal with that fact. Angelina is the Mother of Brad’s children which means she will always be very important to him as he will always be important to her as the children’s father.

  4. RBC says:

    “Angelina knows how to keep her secrets locked down” Exactly! She and Brad got married without the world knowing any details and kept it quiet for a period of time before the news got out.
    Also, the magazine went into great detail about the preparations for the wedding, but couldn’t get the potential groom’s name?

  5. Maya says:

    Don’t see her marrying again but good for her if she is seeing someone.

    But I will bang on about Angelina plus Keanu until it happens 😂

  6. Lindy says:

    Does the world really need Maleficent 2?

    • ChrissyMS says:

      Truth!

    • Talie says:

      I don’t even get what the story would be.

      I wish she would get back to her roots and do something raw and daring like Girl, Interrupted or Gia. Or something even unexpected and comedic.

    • kate says:

      I think this day, anything that brings 500 million bucks at the box office has a sequel. Altought, at leat this movie was fun, not like some franchise I shall not name (whisper *Justice League*)…

    • tracking says:

      I hope the script is stronger for the sequel. She was good in the part, but Elle Fanning was dreadful. Has her participation been confirmed?

    • magnoliarose says:

      Not really. I wish she would do edgier material or action again.

      • meh says:

        I just saw Salt for the first time ever over the weekend and what the hell, it was awesome?! I was not expecting to like it so much. I wish she would do a sequel to that, she was so great in it.

  7. ChrissyMS says:

    IT took her so long to marry Brad and they had kids together. I can’t see her getting married again, but if she does I can see it happening on the down low.

  8. Peg says:

    Funny story, sorry for the man that stands close to Angelina in England, because he’ll not know he is her next husband.

  9. Tan says:

    This article is a fantastic work of fiction. It makes Jolie sound like someone who cannot stay single and who is divorcing brad not so that she could protect her kids but so she could marry the next one. Then they create an elaborate wedding setting.

    It might be from Brad’s camp. Who knows.

    • KBB says:

      Life & Style has stories like this every week about dozens of celebrities. Brad isn’t leaking to Life & Style, they just make s*** up.

    • lucy2 says:

      Eh, they spun their random story wheels and they landed on “Angelina” and “marriage” today.

  10. Luca76 says:

    They clearly only married for the kids. I highly doubt she’d ever do that again. She may well have an undercover love. But I don’t see her marrying.

    • Jamie says:

      I don’t know why people all think she will never marry again. She has been married 3 times. Obviously she is not oppose to marriage or else she wouldn’t have done it 3 times.

      • Luca76 says:

        Because in interviews she said several times that she didn’t want to remarry after divorcing twice. It took over a decade and by her own admission the demands of the kids for her to marry Brad. She’s unlikely to have more kids (yes she could adopt more but I just don’t get the feeling she will). I can’t imagine the kids demanding she marry some business magnet etc she’s also not someone like J-lo who has to be in a public relationship.
        She’s independently minded and financially independent and I just don’t see her doing it again.

      • minx says:

        Seems like the first two marriages were when she was young and impulsive. The last one occurred after she had six children and those kids were urging them to marry. Never say never, but I think she has bigger fish to fry.

  11. Nancy says:

    Nah. Even with her track record, I don’t see Angelina as the marrying kind. Her main priority has always been her kids and I don’t see this happening until possibly they are older. But stranger things have happened.

    • tracking says:

      I think if she met the right man who would be the other half of a political/global power couple, she would consider it. Agree she would’t marry anyone her kids didn’t like though.

      • Nancy says:

        Maybe sometime in the future, either he/she or both of them will remarry. I don’t like the term “power couple.” The Pitts held that title for a long time, right up to the minute we found out they weren’t. That’s a lot of pressure to live up to. In any relationship, each party can have power, happiness, love, independent of the other. *I can’t remember verbatim the statement or who said it, but a successful actress said her husband had wealth, but she would love him if he sold pencils on the street. I liked that….true love*

  12. lower-case deb says:

    i’m intrigued however at how these fiction writers assign imaginary lovers for both adults. one is involved with a long line of ingenues on top of ingenues, younger and younger by the articles it seems, while she gets older politicians, philanthropists, businessmen, billionaires…

    i’m fascinated by what’s going on in their writers head. and whether there’s some internalized mysogyny in their heads like the only women worthy of Brad are young women, and the only ones that want Angelina are old dudes with agendas.

  13. truth hurts says:

    I don’t think she will marry again. She will be who she is right now even when her kids are grown ups. I do think she has a lover, its been almost 2 years and why not? She isn’t about to let that cat out of the bag. Especially since these two are not divorced yet.
    I do believe she and Brad both don’t want to harm these kids, it will take a while for them to adjust to seeing their parents with another partner. It’s all about their kids right now and making sure they are gonna be ok not just financially but emotionally.
    We still haven’t seen Pitt out with these kids since 2016. We know he spends time with them but his assistant seems to be with them out and about even when they travel abroad. Go figure. But I feel he is waiting for the right time to let people see him for that money shot. That lets me know he was behind most of that pic laundering when they were together. I feel he was the captain of the ship on a lot of decisions being made. Angelina is strong will but she will also defer and be submissive to her husband ie BBT.

  14. B n A fn says:

    I don’t believe Angelina will ever marry again. I remember she resisted marrying Brad for years. I also remember many years ago she was on a show being interviewed by Barbara Walters and she said she was celibate for a year. I also remember her saying she would have lovers who she would meet up in hotels, maybe she has a lover or two but I don’t think marriage is in the cards ♦️ right.

  15. Evie says:

    I read the story about Angelina supposedly being involved with a British philanthropist over a year ago. I forget what tabloid it was in; but there’s been nothing since then, until this item. True or false? Who knows. If true, good for Angelina for keeping it on the down low for so long.

    • magnoliarose says:

      I did too. They are just capitalizing on an old rumor. Who knows if she is seeing someone, but this is an old rumor. Unless it was true and they see one another again. But the marriage fantasy is a joke.

      • Nancy says:

        At one point in time I would have believed anything about her. She was a wild child and had a questionable resume of men and behavior. BUT, I think her mother’s illness and subsequent death changed her completely. She is like a different person. She was a mama’s girl and took her illness and death hard. Deep inside, she’s just like us only very rich and most say easy on the eyes! Cool chick.

      • Liberty says:

        There was a female British philanthropist, and a close friendship with William Hague that had the tabs rumbling. I have posted this before but it never appears. 😉

  16. Miss M says:

    I side eye this entire article.
    “While they love Brad” – the kids love Brad not their dad?
    “He is the man of the family now”- give me a break…🙄

  17. LittlefishMom says:

    They’re not even divorced yet. My God leave these people alone.

  18. Rumi says:

    Like everyone here, this is so much crap.
    Not even a name.
    Angelina is all about the kids.
    I can see her having fun but not in a serious relationship with anyone, let alone marriage.
    I hope eventually when she does find someone it’s not a Hollywood man baby.

  19. Daintyfeets says:

    Her lover, alledegedly, is a married UN representative. I’ve been reading about this alledeged relationship since before the Brad blow up. The U.N. guy is the reason for the split.

  20. DenG says:

    My favorite part of this fantasy is that even though the children love Brad they love weddings, so they’re all in. I do agree that Angie can keep a lockdown on her private life if she chooses. Lainey has always admired that about her.

  21. JustStahhhpp says:

    Please god, no. We don’t want this soulsucking hellhound in our country.

  22. jana says:

    Who does Angie think she is, Elizabeth Taylor? Good God, woman, just accept the fact that maybe marriage isn’t your thing and be done with it. I thnk she’s one of those women that is just in love with the idea of being in love.

    • minx says:

      I assume this is snark….? Because this article is pure, badly written fiction.

    • BJ says:

      Good God Woman Do you honestly believe this BS from “LIES & Style?

    • Cara says:

      Seriously? Angelina has been single for quite a while a few times in her life, she has never seemed to need to be in a relationship. Jana you seem to have her completely wrong. She is the very last celeb who appears to need to be in love or in a relationship. Not sure what ever gave you that impression.

  23. Sojaschnitzel says:

    Is it just me or did this lovely woman just recently remember how smiling works? Very happy to see her look this happy again after a long time.

  24. tracking says:

    Don’t know how reliable ET is, but there are new stories for both today. Says Brad casually dating women (plural) at his home(!), and Angelina is casually dating a realtor. Seriously.

  25. raincoaster says:

    My mother used to say if you have an infinite amount of money, London is where you should live. I’m sure she’s just enjoying London for London.

  26. Pineapple says:

    ET says she’s dating a real estate agent, an “older, handsome” man.

  27. Jenny says:

    I think whatever Angelina does with her life will be what suits her public image the best. She seems obsessed with it and has a real talent for PR-spin. I also think if her directing career continues to bomb she will move further into the international political arena.

    And no, not a fan of her. Not a fan of Brad Pitt either and indifferent/bored when it comes to Jennifer Aniston. So there you have it. I do find it hilarious how all these fans of her/them seems to know absolutely every intimate detail of Brangelina’s love life and relationship dynamics and can proclaim with complete certainty Angelina is never going to get married again or that she will get into another long-term relationship. It must be fun to be on the inside of the lives of those people…

  28. I believe most men want a woman in their life even if it’s not the right woman but women tend to wait longer to move on. I think that’s the case of Jen Garner. She’s probably enjoying the freedom and relaxation of not being in a relationship whereas Ben is all about being with someone.
    I think the partner who does the most compromising and work in a relationship is relieved to have that time for themselves.
    I tend to see Brad as the compromiser/worker in his and Angie’s relationship so it makes more sense to me that he’d be ready to enjoy “me” time.
    Angelina’s moving on is definitely complicated with having 6 children of whom she is the primary guardian. I don’t know how feasible it is to juggle 6 kids, divorce, therapy, perfume ads, new movie to film and find time to have more Have e meaningful relationship with a partner willing to take in all that baggage so quickly. She may not move in to a relationship until her kids are older and she has more time to herself and less immediate concerns.
