As I stated on my talk page: Thank you for explaining your edits, and I see your point about the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie articles. Not a claim, as you can see. And though I have seen other Wikipedia biography articles include personal life information in their leads without their being any kind of opinion on removing it, it is no doubt that, in some of these cases, it is because those things are notable or are aspects of the person's life that have been significantly discussed in reliable sources. For example, Leonardo DiCaprio's environmentalism is not only a part of his personal life but has also received significant media attention.  

I will not challenge you on this any further, although I still do believe that a person's personal life should be summarized in the lead in some form...seeing as I feel that leads should adequately summarize a topic. 

Oh, and thanks for taking care of the fear of flying issue as well.
