It became known why Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will not meet in Venice and who did not want this to happen the most

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie and her ex-husband Brad Pitt will not cross paths at the Venice Film Festival, which started on August 28. The organizers have taken additional measures to prevent the ex-spouses from meeting each other.

The festival's artistic director Alberto Barbera recently told Vanity Fair that the celebrities will attend the prestigious event to present their new works: Jolie starred in the biopic Maria, about opera singer Maria Culpas, while Pitt starred in the psychological thriller Lone Wolves with George Clooney.

"Angelina will be there on the first day, Thursday [August 29], and right after that she'll be going with [Maria director] Pablo Larrain to the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado," he told the publication. There's no way they can cross paths." A source told Page Six that the Hollywood stars did not ask the festival to "split" the screening of their films. "No one asked for it, they were wise enough to understand," the insider explained.

Jolie arrived on the island of Lido a few hours before the start of the 81st Venice Film Festival. Dressed in a classic beige trench coat, complemented by an elegant black midi skirt and bright leather boots, the actress exuded elegance. Her blond hair and radiant smile charmed the audience.

Angelina has not attended the Venice Film Festival for a long time. The last time she appeared on the red carpet was 17 years ago, along with Brad Pitt, at the premiere of How the Cowardly Robert Ford Killed Jesse James. At that time, her children Maddox, Pax, Zahara, and Shiloh were still very young, and twins Vivienne and Knox had not yet been born. In 2010, the Jolie-Pitt family returned to Venice, this time to celebrate the role of the beauty in the movie The Tourist with Johnny Depp.

After eight long years of court battles since the actress first set foot in Los Angeles Superior Court to file for divorce, the saga continues. The stakes have skyrocketed with the recent sale of the couple's Chateau Miraval vineyard, which has ignited a firestorm of lawsuits that hasn't died down. Brad Pitt is standing his ground, unwilling to give in, while Angelina is begging for a settlement, seeking to put an end to this ongoing battle.
