London (PTI): Hollywood actor Brad Pitt has finally confessed that he did fall in love with Angelina Jolie while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston.
The actor had always maintained that their romance happened only after he divorced Aniston, despite speculations otherwise.
Rumours swirled around Pitt and Jolie while they were filming Mr & Mrs Smith 2004, just seven months before he split from the former Friends star, the Daily Mail reported.
Pitt has reiterated Jolie's recent confession that they fell in love while making the movie in the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine.
When asked why Mr & Mrs Smith was his favourite film, Pitt said, "Because you know... six kids. Because I fell in love."
Pitt's revelation comes two months after Jolie told the New York Times that she fell for him while making the movie.
"Not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love," Jolie had said in the interview. Their recent claim appears to contradict the couple's repeated denials that they only started dating after he split from Aniston.
Pitt and Jolie's relationship was out in the media in April 2005, just three months after his split from Aniston. They eventually confirmed they were a couple in December that year when Pitt announced he was adopting Jolie's adoptive children, Cambodian Maddox and Ethiopian Zahara.
Three years on, the couple are parents to six children, three adopted and three biological. Aniston has already expressed her unhappiness over Jolie' conduct.
