Jonny Lee Miller, who is Angelina Jolie’s ex-husband

An eternal return, another, seems to have taken place in New York. Angelina Jolie, who flew to the east coast with her children to celebrate her first forty-six years, was seen entering her ex-husband’s house, Jonny Lee Miller, a bottle of wine held in his hands. The actress, who left Dumbo’s apartment on the other end of the Brooklyn Bridge three hours later, with no more wine to fill her hands, she was married to Miller for just one year, between 1996 and 1997.

The couple, then, has forged ahead, happy to be able to celebrate what, for both, has been configured as the first official union.

Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee Miller met by chance on the set of Hackers. A few months later, in March 1996, they got married, contenting yourself with a simple ceremony. Almost lean. The only guests at that hasty wedding, to which Angelina Jolie showed up wearing black leather pants and a white t-shirt, branded with the blood of her new husband (“You may well make a small sacrifice to make this day special”, she would said), were her mother and a friend of him. Then, nothing. Miller and Jolie lived on each other for months to come, quickly burning their love.

The couple, as she took it, decided to get lost, initiating divorce proceedings in 1997. Officially separated since 1999, the two are said, however, to have remained excellent friends. And the New York dinner for the actress’s forty-six years could be proof of an idyll that the torments of love have not been able to erase. Or, as in the case of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, it could be the first sign of a new, and even more unexpected, couple.
