In a 1997 interview with Girlfriends magazine, Jolie openly declared her bisexuality. She expressed her feelings by saying, “It’s great because I love men and women. If I fell in love with a woman tomorrow, would I feel that it’s okay to want to kiss and touch her?
Absolutely! Yes!” Her relationship with Jenny Shimizu was significant and continued for years, even as Jolie dated others.
Shifting Priorities with Brad Pitt
Jolie’s life took a turn when she fell in love with Brad Pitt, her co-star in “Mr & Mrs Smith.” She told The Sun, “I’ve never hidden my bisexuality, but since I’ve been with Brad, there’s no longer a place for that or S+M in my life.”
