secretary william hague, who was inspired to campaign on the issue by her bosnian war drama in the land of blood and honey (2011). psvi was established to complement wider uk government work by raising awareness and promoting international co-operation. jolie spoke on the subject at the g8 foreign ministers meeting, where the attending nations adopted a historic declaration, and before the un security council, which responded by adopting its broadest resolution on the issue to date. in june 2014, she co-chaired the four-day global summit to end sexual violence in conflict, the

month into the russian invasion of ukraine, jolie visited ukrainian children at the vatican children’s hospital bambino gesù. according to the clinic, jolie commented, "i am praying for an end to the

visited lviv, ukraine to meet with more displaced and hospitalized children. recognition and honors jolie at the global summit to end sexual violence in conflict in 2014 jolie has received wide

personal life relationships and marriages jolie had a serious boyfriend for two years from the age of 14. her mother allowed them to live together in her home, of which jolie later said, "i was either going to be reckless on the streets with my boyfriend or he was going to be with me in my bedroom with my mom in the next room. she made the choice, and because of it, i continued to go to school every morning and explored my first relationship in a safe way." she has compared the relationship to a marriage in its emotional intensity, and said that the breakup compelled her to dedicate herself to her acting career at age 16. during filming of hackers (1995), jolie had a romance with actor jonny lee miller, her first lover since the relationship in her early teens. they were not in touch for months after production ended, but eventually reconnected and married soon after in march 1996. she attended her wedding in black rubber pants and a white t-shirt, upon which she had written the groom's name in her blood. although the relationship ended the following year, jolie remained on good terms with miller, whom she called "a solid man and a solid friend". their divorce, initiated by jolie in february 1999, was finalized shortly before she remarried the next year. prior to her marriage to miller, jolie began a relationship with model and actress jenny shimizu on the set of foxfire (1996). in 1997, she said, "i would probably have married jenny if i hadn't married my husband. i fell in love with her the first second i saw her." according to shimizu, their relationship lasted several years and continued even while jolie was romantically involved with other people. in a 1997 interview with the lesbian magazine girlfriends, she was asked how she felt about being a sex symbol to both men and women; she responded "it's great because i love men and women." in 2003, when asked if she was bisexual, jolie answered, "of course. if i fell in love with a woman tomorrow, would i feel that it's okay to want to kiss and touch her? if i fell in love with her? absolutely! yes!" jolie with her then-partner brad pitt at the 81st academy awards in 2009, where they each received an academy award nomination after a two-month courtship, jolie married actor billy bob thornton on may 5, 2000, in las vegas. they had met on the set of pushing tin (1999) but did not pursue a relationship at that time, as thornton was engaged to actress laura dern, while jolie was reportedly dating actor timothy hutton, her co-star in playing god (1997). as a result of their frequent public declarations of passion and gestures of love—most famously wearing one another's blood in vials around their necks—their marriage became a favorite topic of the entertainment media. jolie and thornton announced the adoption of a child from cambodia in march 2002 but abruptly separated three months later. their divorce was finalized on may 27, 2003. when asked about the sudden dissolution of their marriage, jolie stated, "it took me by surprise, too, because overnight, we totally changed. i think one day we had just nothing in common. and it's scary but ... i think it can happen when you get involved and you don't know yourself yet." jolie was involved in a prominent scandal when she was accused of causing the divorce of actors brad pitt and jennifer aniston in october 2005. she said she fell in love with pitt during the filming of mr. & mrs. smith (2005), but dismissed allegations of an affair, saying, "to be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something i could forgive. i could not look at myself in the morning if i did that. i wouldn't be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife." neither jolie nor pitt would publicly comment on the nature of their relationship until january 2006, when she confirmed they were expecting their first child together. during their 12-year relationship, the couple were dubbed "brangelina"—a portmanteau coined by the media—and were the subject of worldwide media coverage. they became known as one of hollywood's most glamorous couples. their family grew to include six children, three of whom were adopted, before they announced their engagement in april 2012. jolie and pitt were legally married on august 14, 2014, and had their wedding on august 23, 2014, at their estate château miraval in correns, france. she subsequently took on the name "angelina jolie pitt". after two years of marriage, the couple separated on september 15, 2016. on september 19, jolie filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. they were declared legally single on april 12, 2019. after pitt sued jolie for selling her share of a winery they owned to a third party, she filed a countersuit, in which she alleged that he physically and verbally abused her and their children on a plane in 2016. children jolie's children maddox chivan jolie-pittborn (2001-08-05) august 5,
