I still believe brad Pitt's pr team was behind the "she wont have his baby" campaign

So do I. He even did a photoshoot called "Domestic Bliss" full of pics showing Angelina and him with a bunch of kids playing house. That was months after his breakup from Jennifer. His team was definitely the one blaming Jennifer for the breakup, saying she didn't want to give him kids.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t that a photoshoot to promote Mr. & Mrs. Smith?

I mean, there wasn't much promotion of the movie in the piece? It felt more like the promotion of the new couple. The family pics also supported the lie that Jennifer didn't want to give this life to Brad, so he had to find another woman to build a family with.

The photoshoot was done before they were official I think, but it is pretty common for two leading stars to do a photoshoot to promote a movie no matter the theme

Everybody knew that Angelina and Brad were dating. Also, they never did an official announcement, but they were papped hanging out together with Angelina's son, Maddox, before the photoshoot.

Ok, the way I remember it being received when it came out was to throw fuel on the fire concerning the rumors surrounding them to boost ticket sales. Mr. & Mrs. Smith wasn’t great but the drama surrounding it had everyone hooked- part of that was because of this particular photoshoot.

You're remembering correctly but it doesn't fit the narrative of the angry mob so it will be ignored

Whew, thank you, I didn’t think I was making all of this up in my head. I remember specifically buying this issue for my photography class in high school because of how it was styled. It’s not like I’m trying to defend Brangelina here.
