NEW YORK -- Angelina Jolie says she wasn't looking for a relationship when she began working with Brad Pitt on ''Mr. & Mrs. Smith'' while he was married to Jennifer Aniston.
December 13, 2006 (Press Release) --
Jolie didn't know where Pitt was then in his personal life, the 31-year-old actress tells Vogue magazine in its January issue. ''But it was clear he was with his best friend, someone he loves and respects."
Jolie's new film, "The Good Shepherd," opens Dec. 22.
''I think we were both the last two people who were looking for a relationship. I certainly wasn't. I was quite content to be a single mom,'' Jolie tells the magazine.
She remained ''very, very good friends'' with Pitt after shooting ended, Jolie says. ''And then life developed in a way where we could be together, where it felt like something we would do, we should do.''
Pitt and Aniston announced their separation in January 2005. Jennifer Aniston filed for divorce in March, citing irreconcilable differences. Their divorce became final in October.
Pitt denied that Jolie was behind the split.
In late April 2005, photos were published of Jolie and Pitt playing in the sand and strolling on a beach in Africa with her 3-year-old son Maddox, whom she adopted from Cambodia.
In July, Pitt and Jolie went to Ethiopia, where Jolie adopted a baby girl, Zahara. In May 2006, Jolie gave birth to the couple's daughter Shiloh in Namibia.
The actress says it was her children who ultimately cemented her relationship with Pitt as a family.
One day, Maddox ''just out of the blue called him Dad. It was amazing. We were playing with cars on the floor of a hotel room, and we both heard it and didn't say anything and just looked at each other.
''So that was probably the most defining moment, when he decided that we would all be a family.''
In December 2005, Pitt filed a petition asking to change the names of Maddox and Zahara to Jolie-Pitt to indicate that he planned to become their adoptive father.
But don't expect Pitt, 42, and Jolie to marry, she says.
''We are legally bound to our children, not to each other, and I think that's the most important thing,'' the twice-divoiced actress quoted as saying.
