The Hollywood couple first started dating in 1998

She said: "I still feel so lucky to have experienced it. I wouldn't know what I know now if I hadn't been married to Brad.

"I love Brad; I really love him. I will love him for the rest of my life. He's a fantastic man. I don't regret any of it, and I'm not going to beat myself up about it. We spent seven very intense years together; we taught each other a lot - about healing and about fun.
