Jolie lists the date of separation as September 15, 2016. The two had only been married for two years, but had been together for nearly TEN – and have six children together!
George and Brad have become close over the years, since starring alongside each other in several films.
Ange has asked for joint custody of their kids Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, eight, but wants solo physical custody with Brad allowed visitation rights.
TMZ reports a source said Jolie moved to file for divorce after she “was extremely upset with his methods” of parenting.
“I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time”.
And to the end, the image of Jolie as leader of the couple remained: it was she, not Pitt, who filed for divorce and sought sole custody of the kids.
The BBC yesterday afternoon broke the news of Jolie filing for divorce, quoting the actress’s lawyer, Robert Offer.
Media commentators reacted to the news with surprise and sadness. The movie was produced and directed by Jolie. She is not asking for spousal support.
However, a source told the Daily News Jolie does not believe the two were having an affair, despite a report saying she hired a private investigator to follow her husband of two years. Since 2012, she has been a Special Envoy to the UN High Commissioner, focusing on refugee issues and traveling the world to draw attention to their plight.
Their children include sons adopted from Cambodia and Vietnam and a daughter adopted from Ethiopia.
She added of Pitt: “He’s a pretty strong actor”.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were often caught on camera herding their six children through various airports – here they are in Japan.
“To face these issues together and speak about them and talk about what it is to be human, I think can be a handsome thing”.
To encourage other women to explore their options, Jolie spoke out publicly about her elective surgeries in 2013 and 2015 to have her breasts, ovaries and fallopian tubes removed as a preventive measure due to a family history of cancer.
