During promotions for Kung Fu Panda 2 in 2011, Black disclosed how Jolie reacted after he accidentally revealed the news of her pregnancy with twins. Black, known for his candid nature, had previously shared his own experiences openly, including his feelings of misery during the filming of Tropic Thunder. However, this time, his openness inadvertently led to revealing Jolie's secret.

In May 2008, Black and Jolie were interviewed together, discussing Kung Fu Panda. During the conversation with Today, Black made a seemingly innocent joke, addressing Jolie's impending motherhood while already having four children with Pitt.

However, it was Black's choice of the word "these" that hinted at Jolie expecting twins, sparking widespread speculation. Acknowledging the slip-up, Black recalled the moment, saying, "You were preggers, and I spilled the beans. And my wife, Tanya, was like, 'That is the most amazing maternity dress I've ever seen.'"



 

 

Saying further he revealed, "You had this gorgeous gown, and she was less preggers, but she had one on the way as well. And you're like, 'Oh, thanks.' And then, what do we get in the mail like the next week? That gown. You sent it over. It was one of the sweetest gifts of all time." Despite the accidental slip-up, Jolie responded with grace and kindness towards Black and his wife.

In July 2008, she gave birth to twins Knox Léon Jolie-Pitt and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt. While it was widely known that Jolie was expecting, the news of twins had never been confirmed until Black's slip-up.



 

 

Jolie's gesture of gifting the gown to Black's wife symbolized her gratitude for his unintended revelation. Meanwhile, in the ongoing legal dispute over their jointly owned $500 million French vineyard, Château Miraval, Brad Pitt appears to have secured a modest victory over his former spouse Jolie.

According to sources cited by Page Six, Pitt has been advocating in court for an additional 10 percent of their agreement and for retaining ownership of the property. In a temporary ruling, the Luxembourg court has decided to place the disputed 10% in escrow until a final decision is reached.

According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline, Pitt has emphasized that Yuri Shefler, the oligarch, should not be exempt from his high-profile lawsuit regarding the $164 million Chateau Miraval estate in France.

Following reports from The Daily Mail, it was revealed that months after Jolie transferred $8.5 million to Shefler in exchange for her share of the vineyard formerly co-owned with Pitt, the Russian billionaire extended an invitation to Jolie to visit his lavish residence at the Tulchan estate in Scotland's Speyside region.
