Although Brangelina had been together for 12 years, they didn’t marry until 2014, which happened to be the same year that George and Amal Clooney got hitched.
Brought up to speed on Ang’s announcement, George’s lovely eyes widened as he revealed, ‘ I didn’t know that.
Not even George Clooney knew his close friends Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had filed for divorce! Wow I feel very sorry, then.
Trying to compose himself, he continued: “It’s an unfortunate story about a family”.
Clearly attempting to find the right words to describe his feelings, he reiterated: ‘It’s an unfortunate story about, uh, about a family… “It’s the first I’ve heard it”. “It’s the first I’ve heard of it”.
Rumor has it Brad cheated on Angelina with co-star Marion Cotillard, and there have been rumblings that their clashing lifestyles also led to the split.
“Brad was supportive, and wanted to be there for her, so they chose to marry – more for the sake of their six children than themselves”.
“This decision was made for the health of the family”.
Our thoughts are with the whole family at this hard time.
In a statement issued to People, Brad said: ‘I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids.
“I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time”.
