Jolie confesses she’s still in touch with her ex-husband—and she’s loving it
Angelina Jolie has revealed she still shares a close bond with her ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller, even decades after their divorce. During an appearance at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, the Oscar-winning actress casually dropped the revelation while reminiscing about her early career.
While discussing Hackers—the 1995 cult film that introduced her to Miller—Jolie admitted she had spoken to him recently. Just before a clip from the film played, she quipped, “Yeah, it’s Jonny. I just talked to him. I love that—I get to see my ex-husband with 2,000 people.”
The audience chuckled, but Jolie’s words carried a deeper sentiment. Though she rarely watches her own films, she said, “I don’t think I’ve seen it since the premiere. But I do have a wonderful relationship with Jonny, and he and I have sons the same age, and I’m so happy.”

The revelation has sparked intrigue, as Jolie’s public divorces—especially from Brad Pitt—have been anything but amicable. But with Miller, it seems the past is far from bitter.
Their enduring bond has even led to occasional reunions over the years. In 2021, Jolie was spotted visiting Miller’s New York apartment, sparking speculation about their relationship. While the nature of their connection remains platonic, their friendship serves as a rare example of Hollywood exes who have managed to part ways romantically yet remain genuinely supportive of each other.
