Two of Hollywood's most recognisable celebrities, have had rumours about their future discussed since they got together in 2005 and with this engagement, supposedly done by Pitt using a custom made ring; they look to be cementing their future together. Although this will not be the first marriage for either person, with Jolie already having married actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton and Pitt previously being married to actress Jennifer Aniston. The spilt between Pitt and Aniston was one fraught with controversy, with rumours of infidelity between Pitt and Jolie rife after they had been working together on Mr & Mrs Smith, however both camps denied counts of infidelity.
