Angelina Jolie and Brad PittAngelina Jolie has said she thinks it’s crucial to be completely honest and open in relationships.

She told Parade recently: “I have two [divorces] behind me but I’m still good friends with both my exes, Billy Bob [Thornton] and Jonny Lee [Miller].

“I’ve never had to deal with secrets from the men in my life because I’ve always married artists and they’re a very talkative and expressive bunch. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I don’t want to spend my life pretending to be somebody else, and I don’t want the person next to me to have to pretend ever, because we have a long life ahead of us.

“So you just want to be able to be who you are in every moment, and that’s the only way you’ll ever be truly happy.”

She added that she has “a lot of respect” for current partner Brad Pitt, who helps her “to be better and fight hard for the things that I love.

“I do think that I’m in a good partnership now. I think it just needed to be the right man.”
