Billy Bob Thornton and Connie Angland step out for a rare date night.

The Slingblad actor, 69, at the red carpet premiere of his new show Husbandman on November 12. Thornton, dressed in all black and a fedora, posed next to Angland, 60, as he celebrated the launch of the Western drama.

At the event, Thornton told PEOPLE what he hoped audiences would take away from the new Taylor Sheridan drama, which follows those trying to make wealth in the world of oil rigs.

“I hope they learn something about a company that most people don’t know the inside of,” he said. “But I also hope that they take away the way that people face intensity and danger, that there is still humor in life. And also that they take away how relationships are affected by a business that you are in.”

Angland is Thornton’s sixth wife and the two have been together for almost twenty years. They met in 2003, shortly after his divorce from Angelina Jolie that same year.

The following year, in 2004, he and Angland welcomed a daughter named Bella. This was Thornton’s fourth child: he shares daughter Amanda Brumfield (née Thornton) with his first wife Melissa Lee Gatlin and sons William and Harry with Playboy model Pietra Dawn Cherniak.

Thornton and the Men in black The actress got married only after dating for over ten years and finally got married in October 2014. At the time, he said HuffPost Live, he didn’t know if the two would ever get married.

“Maybe there’s something about the official nature of it. Maybe it’s that as soon as a paper is signed or a door seems closed, I turn more into a caged lion or something,” he said.

Around the same time, he told Oprah Winfrey on an episode of her Master Class podcast that after his high-profile relationship with Jolie, he decided to keep his personal life out of the public eye.

“When you have a celebrity marriage… I had one of those periods, and during that time I found celebrity difficult just because of privacy issues,” Thornton explained.

The Oscar winner added that he didn’t necessarily see the need to marry Angland at the time, but that he was glad he did. “I’m in a good relationship now and have been for 10 years,” he said. “We have a beautiful daughter.”

In addition to Angland and Jolie, Thornton was married to Gatlin from 1978 to 1980, to Toni Lawrence from 1986 to 1988, to Cynda Williams from 1990 to 1992, and to Cherniak from 1993 to 1997. He was also previously engaged to Oscar winner Laura Dern, with whom he had a relationship from 1997 to 1999.

In 2003, he told PEOPLE that his best marriage advice was to take things day by day.

“Go into it with the idea that you want it to last, but don’t put pressure on yourself to achieve perfection every day because I think you’ll get into trouble,” Thornton advised. He added that brides and grooms should have the right mindset on their big day, explaining: “Like, ‘Yes, I’m doing this forever,’ but don’t let it scare you.”
