Angelina Jolie’s ex-husband, Billy Bob Thornton has spoken out regarding Angelina’s twins news, to say that he’s thrilled for her and her partner, Brad Pitt:

He says, “I think she was always meant to be a mother in so many ways. I’m just so happy for her. I’m happy for the kids to have a mother like her and a father like him.”

And Thornton also heaped praise on his former lover for her goodwill and humanitarian efforts.

He adds, “I’m astounded that somebody has that kind of passion and that much energy for something that actually does affect people and help people out.”

You have to wonder if Jennifer Aniston could come out in support of Brad Pitt in the same fashion. Maybe she will, now that she’s happy with John Mayer. If that’s not just a fling for the both of them, that is.
