LA, May 30: The passionate but brief marriage of Oscar winning actress Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton is officially over. Court documents granting the couple a divorce were filed on Tuesday -- just three years after Jolie, 27, and Thornton, 47, married and swore undying love for each other with his and hers tattoos and amulets filled with each others blood around their necks.
The divorce, requested by Jolie on the grounds of "irreconcilable differences" was uncontested. It was Thornton's fifth marriage and Jolie's second.
Jolie's lawyers said the couple had reached an agreement over support and visitation rights for their adopted Cambodian son Maddox but she declined to reveal details.
Thornton, who won a screenwriting Oscar for the 1996 drama "Sling Blade," met Jolie, who won a best supporting actress Oscar for her role in "Girl Interrupted," in 1999 on the set of the air traffic control comedy "Pushing Tin."
