Angelina Jolie says fidelity not an essential relationship ingredient

Angelina Jolie has said that fidelity is not essential for a relationship to work.

Angelina believes open romances can work just as well as monogamous relationships, if both partners agree to it.

Angelina met Pitt on the set of 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' in 2005 while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston

She told Das Neue magazine: "I doubt that fidelity is absolutely essential for a relationship. It's worse to leave your partner and talk badly about him afterwards.

"Neither Brad nor I have ever claimed that living together means to be chained together. We make sure that we never restrict each other."

However, she added that the couple have a fiery relationship at times.


She said: "The sparks fly at home if the nice Brad fails to see that he's wrong and reacts in a defiant way. Then I can get so angry that I tear his shirt."
