When their relationship started, Jolie only had one son, Maddox, who she adopted shortly before ending her relationship with Billy Bob Thornton. But in July 2005, around the time of the infamous W Magazine photo shoot, Jolie adopted Zahara from an orphanage from Ethiopia. And that was just the start of the Pitt-Jolie's growing brood. In January 2006, People broke the big news that Jolie was pregnant just a month after Pitt had filed to adopt Zahara and Maddox, officially making him their father.

Keep in mind, Pitt had just separated from Aniston in January 2005, and in one year, he was already on his way to having three kids with Jolie. Talk about fast! It also added fuel to the overwhelming media narrative that Pitt left Aniston because she didn't want to have a baby. But Aniston's friends denied that was the case during her 2005 Vanity Fair interview.

"When Brad and Jen were in the marriage, having a baby was not his priority—ever," a friend said. "It was an abstract desire for him, whereas for Jen it was much more immediate. So is there a part of Brad that's diabolical? Did he think, I need to get out of this marriage, but I want to come out smelling like a rose, so I'm going to let Jen be cast as the ultra-feminist and I'm going to get cast as the poor husband who couldn't get a baby and so had to move on?"
