On the End of the Marriage
BBT described their separation as incredibly peaceful and very civilized. The primary cause was a radical difference in lifestyles, not a lack of love. He confessed to having insecurities, admitting he “didn’t think he was good enough for her” due to their differing worlds.
Despite the breakup, he said that their time together was a great time and one of the most cherished periods of his life. Angelina is still friends with him and his wife.
On the “Blood Vial” Myth
He explained that the item was a small locket kit Jolie bought, and they put only a tiny smudge of blood inside as a simple, romantic gesture of carrying a piece of the other person (similar to carrying a baby’s hair).
