Angelina Jolie signed a fan’s poster of Mr. And Mrs. Smith featuring her alongside her ex-husband Brad Pitt this week – in spite of their nasty legal battle.
Pitt, 60, and Jolie, 49, infamously fell in love during the making of the 2005 movie while he was still married to his first wife Jennifer Aniston.
Jolie staunchly insisted that they never engaged in an illicit affair, but only struck up their relationship once Pitt separated from Aniston.
‘Brangelina’ went public as a couple in 2006 and married in 2014 before splitting in 2016, triggering a bitter feud in the courts over property and child custody.
But in spite of their sour personal equation, Jolie was seen graciously autographing an admirer’s poster of her and Pitt in Mr. And Mrs. Smith in New York on Monday.

The encounter occurred as she arrived at the New York Film Festival to promote Maria, her biopic of the legendary opera singer Maria Callas.
Jolie retained an impassive expression while she scribbled her signature on the poster, which was rolled up but still had part of Pitt’s face in clear view.
Mr. And Mrs. Smith starred Jolie and Pitt as two spies whose electric chemistry is complicated by the fact that they have been assigned to kill each other.
The movie was a box office smash and ignited a global scandal when it emerged that the two leads were as attracted to each other in life as they were onscreen.
Fans around the world began siding with ‘Team Jolie’ or ‘Team Aniston,’ as a furor raged over the love triangle with Pitt at its center.
Jolie, the daughter of actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand, maintained that she did not have an affair with Pitt while he was with Aniston.
‘To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive,’ she said on Today. ‘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.’
Jolie filed for divorce against Pitt in September 2016, after a mysterious dispute on a private plane in the presence of their son Maddox, now 23.

Early in the proceedings, the FBI looked into allegations that Brad became ‘physical’ with Maddox on the jet, but the investigation was closed with no charges filed.
Jolie allegedly filed a Freedom Of Information Act request as ‘Jane Doe’ in 2021 related to the FBI documents about the fateful 2016 plane ride.
She is said to have dropped her action against the FBI on September 25 this year, according to legal papers obtained by In Touch magazine.
However, in court documents she filed this April in legal dispute over property, Jolie accused Pitt of having been abusive to her ‘well before’ the plane ride.
Amid the collapse of their marriage, Brad and Angelina plunged into a rancorous custody battle over their six children, four of whom are now adults.
They conceived three biological children – Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 – and also adopted Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, and Zahara, 19.
Brad is said to be estranged from his children, a number of whom have legally dropped his surname, most recently Shiloh after she turned 18 this May.

Meanwhile Pax recently suffered a terrifying accident when he crashed his dirt bike into a car in Los Angeles while not wearing a helmet.
Sources informed DailyMail.com that Jolie was ‘by his side in hospital,’ while ‘Brad is distraught and worried over Pax’s accident, but he is unable to reach him.’
The accident came four years after Pax unleashed an explosive social media rant calling his father a ‘world class a**hole’ and a ‘terrible and despicable person’ who had caused his four younger children to ‘tremble in fear.’
Jolie and Pitt are also still engaged in a legal conflict over the Chateau Miraval, the winery they shared as a couple in the South Of France.
The feud over the property stems from the fact Angelina sold her half to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler for $62 million in 2021, amid her divorce proceedings.
Pitt sued her over the sale, insisting that she was contractually obligated to obtain his consent before offloading her portion of the Chateau Miraval.
Jolie has brought up her abuse allegations and the custody battle over the course of her years-long legal feud with Brad over the Chateau Miraval.
She has asked Pitt to ‘end the fighting’ and drop the winery lawsuit against her so that their family can have a chance to ‘heal.’

However sources told DailyMail.com that Pitt has ‘no intention’ of dropping the , claiming that Angelina only asked him to do so after she discovered that her case is weaker than she initially anticipated.
‘Brad is not going to drop this lawsuit – why would he? This was a very standard business dispute but unfortunately, Angelina has consistently introduced personal elements that are meant for a divorce court,’ an insider said.
Jolie is currently at the center of a swirl of dating rumors with the British rapper Akala, 40, whom she has been seen with publicly on multiple occasions.
Meanwhile Pitt is enjoying a nearly two-year romance with jewelry executive Ines De Ramon, 31, who was previously married to The Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley.
