I think hell is freezing over. The golden couple of Hollywood is kaput. Oh, I know the rumor mill has been churning for months: "When are they having another baby, when are they breaking up?" Blah, blah, blah. But, truth be told, there is trouble in paradise. I have heard from a VERY reliable source, that Brangelina has been Brad and Angelina for over six months now. Seperate lives deserve seperate names. The real question that begs answering, isn't "Are they or aren't they?" It's "Why do we care?"
The mystique of Hollywood has us all questioning our own, less-than perfect relationships.
We think, "Oh wow, she is beautiful, he is beautiful, look at their beautiful children, in their beautiful home, life must be...well...beautiful."
The reality is, they are both workaholics who adopted and birthed several children over the course of 5 years or so. Newsflash to anyone who is still saying, "What's the problem? They have nannies, they have money, they have it all."
And don't get me wrong, this isn't a sob story dedicated to making them feel better about their love lost, but the truth is, love is hard. Falling in love (or in his case, in lust, as I believe) is the easy part. He was swept up by her wacky and wonderful world as he thought he saw it.
She was deemed the sexiest woman in the world traveled the globe doing humanitarian work, with her small son, Maddox, and had, what seemed to him, a very glamorous and beautiful life. Brad wanted to be a part of that. Maybe Jen wasn't ready for babies, maybe Jen was too busy for him. What does it matter? He broke his vow for the woman of most men's (and some women's) fantasies and no one judged him too harshly for that. In fact, we fell in love with their wild romance. Sure, it was wrong of him to cheat, but it's Angelina Jolie! We all smiled a little to ourselves, almost as it we understood that the vortex was just too great. She sucked him in and he gave himself willingly to her. The first year or so, we were all swept up in their love and romance. The babies! The globe-trotting! The scandalous love-making! Everyone loves a good story!
And that is what it was. A story. A romantic fable, if you will. In actuality, he was a lying cheater. He lied to his wife, broke his wedding vow, and ran off with another woman. So, add that rocky start to having so many children (so quickly, mind you) would take the sex right out of any relationship! Who has the time for such things when you have so many kids all vying for your time and attention? Any relationship needs readjusting after the birth of one child, let alone a small army.
And then there is her insecurity. Let's be real. She met him while filming a sexy movie and they had a torrid affair off-camera. Fine. But, instead of leaving it at that, she attempts to nest with him, trying to form a strong family unit. There is only one problem with this. The unit isn't strong. It isn't strong because it was built upon lust instead of love and friendship. The flames that united them could not burn indefinitely without something to keep them ignited.
Then, jealousy and insecurity sets in soon after. Angelina (who outwardly speaks of free love and non-monogamy) becomes burdened with the thought of "How do I keep him? How do I prevent him from cheating on me? After all, I was involved with his affair.." Cue obsessive thoughts about Brad. The most sought after woman in the world is insecure about her man cheating on her. Just shows you how similar we all are, after all!
So where do they go from here? The judgment from the people will come soon enough. Brad will plead temporary insanity and shave that beard off his face (as well as shave off some weight, too). He will have a hit movie and be back in the limelight with a new, hot girl in four to six months. Jen will finally be able to move on in her love life, knowing that SHE wasn't the problem, and their relationship can finally be put to rest. I dare say, Jen may fall in love this year, and shake that smell of desperation right off. And as for Angie? I believe she will adopt again, to fill the void now in her life. I actually feel the sorriest for her. I think Angie is a lost little girl. She has everything in the world, but I don't think she is happy. And, instead of fixing the issues that are buried deep inside of her spirit, she is externally attempting to fill that empty space inside her. And we all know, until you truly love yourself, it is impossible to love anyone else. Just ask Brad.
