Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were once the happiest and most talked about couples in Tinsel Town. Jolie and Pitt’s love story goes way back to when they met on the set of their shared 2005 spy thriller Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The former pair started dating after he divorced his now-former wife, Jennifer Aniston. During their whirlwind relationship, they made many head-turning, carpet-booming appearances at the star-studded events. 

However, things turned sour, and they announced the news of their separation in the public as the Eternals movie star filed for divorce from him on Sept. 20, 2016. The actress cited irreconcilable differences and requested physical custody of the six children they shared. Over the past few years, their messy court battle drama has brought a lot of bombshell revelations. According to reports, in 2021, the 48-year-old star allegedly sold her interest from their Chateau Miraval Winery, a 1,200-acre estate in Correns, France. 

They bought this estate together for a whopping amount in 2008. Following Jolie’s decision to sell her shares, the Legends of the Fall movie star sued her. Amid this ongoing dispute, her email, which she wrote to Pitt in 2021, was leaked online, in which she allegedly claimed that her former partner presumably wanted her out of their winery estate.

Angelina Jolie is one of the most successful and influential actresses who has achieved tremendous success in her legendary career and earned immense fame and fortune. Jolie was married to Hollywood star Brad Pitt from 2014 to 2016, and before their short-lived marriage, they dated for 12 years. The former pair initially met in 2003 on the set of their 2005 movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith, in which they played the role of married couples. 

Their undeniable on-screen chemistry sparked romance rumors at the time, but Pitt was married to actress Jennifer Aniston. The Seven movie star and Aniston announced their divorce in 2005, and in 2006, he began dating The Tourist movie actress. The pair were officially engaged in 2012 and tied the knot in 2014 in a private wedding ceremony at the chapel of Chateau Miraval. Things turned topsy turvy, and Jolie filed for divorce from her former partner.

In 2021, Angelina Jolie reportedly penned an emotional email to her ex-partner Brad Pitt, stating how their relationship soured with time and what led to their divorce, further informing him that she wanted out of their Chateau Miraval Winery estate. The email she wrote got leaked on social media in which she mentioned: 
“I am putting this in writing so as not to get emotional. I have reached a painful decision with a heavy heart that I want to share with you. You know how much I wanted to buy Miraval as a family business, as a place for us to visit together. Above all, it is the place we brought the twins home to and where we were married over a plaque in my mother’s memory. I will treasure my memories of what it was a decade ago.”

The actress continued,
“I see now how you really wanted me out and will most likely be pleased to receive this email. I wish you all the best with the business and sincerely hope that the children feel differently about Miraval when they are older and visit you there. But Miraval, for me, died September 2016, and everything I have seen in the years since has sadly confirmed that.”
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie bought Chateau Miraval in Correns, France, in 2008 when they were in a relationship. However, in 2021, Jolie allegedly decided to sell her share of interest to a Russian oligarch named Yuri Shefler. After this, Pitt filed a lawsuit and sued her for secretly selling the shares, noting her former wife promised not to make any deal without their mutual consent.
