2012年，皮特送上一枚6克拉、價值25萬美元的鑽戒和她訂婚。前幾天，她終於結婚了。祝福他們。
和布拉德皮特結婚，是她臨終前必須完成的清單裡的第一件事。
她有遺傳性BRCAI基因突變，罹患乳癌風險高達87%，儘管已經接受雙側乳腺切除及乳房再造手術，以降低罹癌風險。但事情似乎並未向好的方向發展。朱莉估計自己只剩3-5年可以活，最久也活不過45歲。
朱莉在給《紐約時報》的文章稱，自己的母親與癌症搏鬥了近10年，於2007年死於卵巢癌，享年56歲。包括她的外祖父、外祖母和舅舅，也都因癌症提早離開人間。這讓朱莉篤定認為，做手術只是稍微延長她的生命。而在接受雙側乳腺切除手術的過程中，朱莉得到了皮特莫大的支持，這也是讓她真正決定選擇皮特作為自己終生伴侶的決定性原因。
對於皮特來說，這一切似乎都是命運。這位好萊塢浪子，在這段感情中得到的不只是尋常意義的愛和陪伴。這對全球最著名的愛侶的情路，只有他們自己最有發言權。皮特記錄了茱莉生病以來的心路歷程。
My wife got sick.She was constantlynervous because of problems at work, personal life, herfailures and problemswith children. She has lost 30 pounds and weighted about90 pounds in her 35years. She got very skinny, and was constantly crying.
She was not a happywoman. She hadsuffered from continuing headaches, heart pain and jammed nervesin her back andribs. She did not sleep well, falling asleep only in the morningand got tiredvery quickly during the day.
Our relationship wason the verge ofbreak up. Her beauty was leaving her somewhere, she had bagsunder her eyes, shewas poking her head, and stopped taking care of herself.She refused to shootthe films and rejected any role. I lost hope and thoughtthat we'll get divorcedsoon...
But then I decidedto act on it. Afterall I've got the most beautiful woman on the earth. She isthe ideal of more thanhalf of men and women on earth, and I was the oneallowed to fall asleep next toher and to hug her shoulders.
I began to pepperher with flowers,kisses and complements. I surprised her and pleased everyminute. I gave herlots of gifts and lived just for her. I spoke in public onlyabout her. Iincorporated all themes in her direction. I praised her in frontof her own andour mutual friends. You won't believe, but she has blossomed.She became evenbetter than before. She gained weight, was no longer nervousand she loved meeven more than ever.
I had no clue thatshe CAN love thatmuch.
And then I realizedone thing:"The woman is the reflection of her man"
妻子病了。來自工作和個人生活上的麻煩讓她時常神經緊張，她與孩子們也無法好好相處，問題重重。35歲時，她瘦了30磅，體重只有90磅。這樣使她看上去瘦骨嶙峋，她經常哭個不停。
快樂已經遠離妻子。頭疼、心臟疼痛、背部及肋骨神經不暢時時刻刻折磨著她。因此，她無法安睡，只能在早上短暫睡眠，白天就很容易疲倦。
我們徘徊在分手的邊緣。美麗與她漸漸遠離，她長了眼袋，並時時戳自己的腦袋，對自己的身體默不關心。更甚之，她拒絕拍電影，推掉所有角色。我開始絕望，感到我們馬上要離婚了……
但是，我決心採取行動。畢竟，我擁有的是世界上最美麗的女人。世界上，她是一多半男人和女人眼中的完美女人。而我，可以和她同床共枕，相擁而眠
我開始用鮮花、熱吻和讚美包圍著她。每分鐘，我都可以給她驚喜，讓她開心。我給她很多禮物，並且只為了她而生活。再公共場合，我的話題只有她，方方面面，我以她為中心。在她的和我們共同的朋友面前，我時時讚美她。真的無法相信，她如鮮花般開放，變得更加美麗迷人。她體重恢復了，不再神經兮兮。並且，她更加的愛我，我原來竟不知道，她可以如此愛我。
於是，我意識到：女人是男人的鏡子，你怎樣對她，在她身上全都展現無遺。
——布拉德•皮特
願信念可以戰勝病魔 ，願愛常在。
無論如何，祝他們新婚快樂。
