“Angelina Jolie-Pitt has filed for dissolution of the marriage”.

When she was asked about the W Magazine spread that came out that same year painting the picture of Jolie and Pitt as a family, Aniston candidly told VF: “There’s a sensitivity chip that’s missing”, in reference to Pitt. This is not sitting well with Brad, who wanted to shield their six children from the media storm he knew would be coming once his wife filed for divorce.
“It’s an insult”, Walzer said.
Jolie and Pitt met in 2004 while filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and although they admit that they fell in love while filming, it wasn’t until the summer of 2005, a few months after Pitt divorced Jennifer Aniston, that the two went public with their relationship.
“Angelina will always do what’s in the best interest to protect her children”, Geyer Kosinski, Angelina Jolie’s manager said in a press statement on Tuesday.
One of Hollywood’s most powerful couples appears headed for a breakup. When Melanie Griffith filed for divorce from Antonio Banderas in 2014, the actors had a number of joint film ventures and had intermingled their political lives.
Jolie and Pitt in separate statements announced that they are getting divorced and their focus will be on their six children. But Angelina was the first to reportedly call into question the children’s safety around her partner, and she is allegedly demanding sole physical custody of the kids.
The other parent (in this case, Pitt) may have visitation rights but does not have any custodial rights, and can’t make any decisions impacting the child. “That was really uncool”, Aniston said.
While wealth can simplify some things, their fame will cause complications. This is a very hard period for the family. Both Pitt and Jolie’s attorney released statements seeking privacy, yet public interest in their breakup is enormous. He popped in, married them at their desk – “Then suddenly we realised we were married, in the most unceremonial way possible”.
Custody likely will be one of the biggest stressors, Kretzmer said.

“We chose to be of that time, when we could imagine he was in the European theatre and I was in the Pacific theatre, and we wrote handwritten letters to each other that were very connecting for us, thinking of the people that were separated for months, if not years, at a time back then”.
