Angelina Jolie Reconnects with Ex-Husband Jonny Lee Miller After 26 Years

Angelina Jolie continues to maintain a strong friendship with her first husband, Jonny Lee Miller, even after 26 years of separation. The Hollywood star recently spoke about her bond with the British actor during the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in California.

Jolie attended the prestigious event to receive the Maltin Modern Master Award, an honor recognizing her outstanding contributions to cinema. As part of the ceremony, the actress and the audience revisited clips from some of her earlier films, including the 1995 cult classic Hackers, in which she starred alongside Miller. The two married in 1996 but ended their relationship just three years later.

“I just spoke to him. It was great to see my ex-husband again—this time with an audience of 2,000 people,” Jolie remarked with a smile. She further revealed, “Watching the scene was interesting because, to be honest, I don’t usually watch my own movies. I hadn’t seen Hackers since its release. But Jonny and I have a wonderful relationship. His son and my son are the same age, so it’s really nice.”

A Long-Lasting Friendship Despite Separate Paths

Following their divorce in 1999, Jonny Lee Miller married actress Michele Hicks in 2008, with whom he shares a son. However, their marriage ended in 2016. Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie went on to have high-profile relationships and marriages with Billy Bob Thornton and Brad Pitt. Her tumultuous relationship with Pitt, in particular, has been a hot topic in Hollywood for years.

In 2021, Jolie and her six children were seen visiting Miller’s New York apartment, sparking rumors about their close bond. Reports at the time indicated that Miller’s son, Buster, and Jolie’s son, Knox, had developed a close friendship.

Despite their past, Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee Miller continue to show that genuine friendships can last beyond marriage. Their enduring connection proves that even in Hollywood, some relationships remain timeless and meaningful.
