Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, her husband of two years, citing irreconcilable differences.
There’s plenty to infer here—per TMZ, who got their hands on the filing, Jolie is notrequesting any spousal support and lists their date of separation as Sept. 15, 2016. And then there’s this:
They also add that (per a source) her “decision to file has to do with the way Brad was parenting the children … she was extremely upset with his methods.”
On the other hand, Page Six reports the split was over something much more specific—an affair between Pitt and his Allied co-star Marion Cotillard.
“She hired a private eye because she felt that he was fooling around with her on the set, and it turns out, he was. And that was the final straw,” the source said.
In a statement to E! News, Jolie’s manager said she “will always do what’s in the best interest of taking care of her family” and “appreciates everyone’s understanding of their need for privacy at this time.”
Soon after the news about Jolie filing hit the press, Pitt released a statement saying“I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids,” he said in the statement. “I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time.”
