Jolie and Pitt have three adopted children and three biological children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, as well as Knox and Vivienne, who are twins.
Social media was also flooded with memes featuring Jennifer Aniston, who was married to Pitt for five years when he met and fell in love with Jolie while filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
“Brad’s leaving for the Adriatic coast [in early September] prompted a fight with his wife that has sealed the fate of their marriage”, a friend told In Touch.
“Because of the film, we ended up being brought together to do all these insane things, and I think we found this odd friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened”, she added to Vogue.
Just like that, in two little words, Hollywood’s most famous/infamous couple – aka Brangelina – has joined the trash heap of celebrity marriages.
The 52-year-old father-of-six said: “I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids”. When Pitt and Aniston got divorced, every tabloid started running stories about their marriage, childless lifestyle, Pitt’s infidelity etc.
In addition to being an actress, Jolie also is a filmmaker and humanitarian. The couple had been together for 12 years and married since August 2014.
In 2013, Jolie wrote a New York Times op-ed about deciding to have a double mastectomy after discovering she carried a gene that sharply increased her risk of developing breast and ovarian cancers. She has asked for sole physical custody of their children with no spousal support.
Though the actors are most known for their work in movies, Jolie has been nominated for two Emmy Awards for her roles in Gia(1998) and George Wallace(1997). “She will not be commenting, and asks that the family be given its privacy at this time”, Jolie’s attorney Robert Offer said in a statement on Tuesday.
Jolie has spent much of the previous year making “First They Killed My Father”, her fourth feature as director.
