He and Jolie also had been sparring over their lifestyle, another source said.

“If there are allegations of substance use and anger problems, that could lead to Pitt having supervised parenting time”, Kelly Frawley, a partner at NY law firm Kasowitz, Benson, Torres and Friedman told AFP.

Their relationship was steady fodder for tabloids with reports focusing on what role Jolie played in the break-up of Pitt’s marriage to actress Jennifer Aniston, and, more recently, possible trouble in the marriage. Speculation swirled about his affair.

The pair did not address what would happen to the foundation in their statements, and a phone message left at a number associated with the Jolie-Pitt Foundation was not returned Tuesday. Shortly after meeting, Aniston filed for divorce, and the two became one of Hollywood’s hottest couples.

From a screen debut as a bare-chested pretty boy to the Hollywood top table, with a name that can carry an indie flick or a blockbuster, Brad Pitt has come a long way.

The couple have three biological children and three adopted children. And they didn’t star together again until last year’s “By the Sea”, a marital melodrama set on the French Riviera directed by Jolie and starring the couple as unhappy spouses.

They married in 2014 after a decade together.

Sources have since said that those differences stem from the 52-year-old’s parenting decisions, alleging that he had an anger problem and that the brunette was sick of his weed and alcohol use. She underwent a double mastectomy and her husband’s support trough this tough times proved once again their incredible love.

Pitt and Jolie have been together since 2004 and married in August 2014. “She didn’t feel that Angelina was truly the one who Brad was meant to stay with”.
