Billy Bob Thornton knows how to plan a wedding. The 2025 Golden Globe nominee has been married six times, including to Academy Award winner Angelia Jolie for three years in the early 2000s. However, it will be his current wife, Connie Angland, who is celebrating Thornton's latest Golden Globe nomination with him, one for Taylor Sheridan's Landman.
Thornton and Angland have been married for over a decade and together for twice that time, which is longer than all of his previous marriages combined. Thornton revealed during a fall appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show that Angland saved him during a dark time. "Yeah, she kind of drug me out of the gutter, which was awesome," he said. It took Thornton a few tries, but it seems like he finally found the right one.
