Angelina Jolie has had a rough couple of years.
After discovering she has an 87% chance of developing breast cancer, the actress had a double mastectomy in 2013. This March, the mother of six had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed after early signs of ovarian cancer.
But Jolie's husband, Brad Pitt, has supported every decision his wife has made when it comes to her health.
"There was no vanity to my wife’s approach,"Pitt told Tom Brokaw during a new interview with the "Today" show. "It was mature; there was an excitement to ‘this is our life and we’re gonna make the best of it.' There was a strength in that."
"She was doing it for the kids, and she was doing it for her family so we could be together," Pitt added. "It trumped everything and anything.”
Despite the surgeries changing Jolie both physically and emotionally, she says Pitt was a constant source of support.
"He made it very clear to me that what he loved and what was a woman to him was someone who was smart and capable and cared about her family," Jolie said during the joint "Today" interview. "It's not about your physical body."
