Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s marriage allegedly became so bad that they stopped being intimate with each other.
According to National Enquirer, the exes reached a point where they realized that they were in a loveless marriage.
“They argued about everything and when sex became less of a priority, the differences between them amplified enormously,” the source said.
A source also told the tabloid that Jolie lost her desire to be intimate with Pitt or anyone else after their divorce.
“Angie has put that part of her life behind her. Menopause, a cancer scare, and a double mastectomy have left her with little or no interest in sex – and her brutal breakup with Brad killed whatever desire she had left,” the source said.
Jolie decided to have her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed in 2015 just two years after undergoing a double mastectomy.
The actress was worried that because she had the BRCA1 gene, she was at risk for breast cancer. Her mom, Marcheline Bertrand died of ovarian cancer in 2007 at the age of 56.
Jolie wrote an op-ed piece for The Sydney Morning Herald in 2013. The Maleficent: Mistress of Evil actress revealed that her doctors told her that she had 87 percent at risk of breast cancer and 50 percent at risk of ovarian cancer.
“Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy. I started with the breasts, as my risk of breast cancer is higher than my risk of ovarian cancer, and the surgery is more complex,” she said.
Two years later, Pitt reacted to his ex-wife’s double mastectomy. The actor said that it was such a scary time in their lives.
The Ad Astra actor also said that he supported Jolie’s decision to undergo the procedure if this is what would keep their family together. The dad of six also said that Jolie was ultimately in charge.
Unfortunately, Pitt and Jolie’s marriage ended not because of the latter’s illness but because of their irreconcilable differences. But even if this was the case, it is unlikely for Jolie to have lost her desire for intimacy just like what the tabloid alleged.
