After months of rumors it’s official, actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have filed for a legal separation according to News Of The World. They weren’t married but needed to file the paperwork so they could decide custody among their six children.
Rumors of their demise grew stronger over the past two weeks when the couple didn’t show for the Golden Globe Awards and when Jolie didn’t join Pitt at the Hope for Haiti telethon.
A source told the News of the World: “The document was signed in early January. Both Brad and Angelina had signed it.
“The contract was like a tailor-made version of a pre-nuptial agreement except for an unmarried couple’s split.
“It seemed clear they want the world to know they’ll both play a part in the upbringing of the children.
“But Angelina will actually be the one who lives with them full-time.”
The divorce lawyer they consulted is based in Beverly Hills and has worked on a string of celeb divorces and splits. He is widely regarded as “the best in the business”.
The couple will share joint custody of all six children: Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax, Knox, Vivienne.
Pitt and Jolie had been shacking up since early 2005. It is the second high profile for Pitt. Jolie became even more notorious for wrecking Pitt’s first marriage to Friends actress Jennifer Aniston.
It is the third pseudo-divorce for Jolie as she was previously married to Johnny Lee Miller and then Billy Bob Thornton.
Rumors just this week had Angelina cheating on Pitt with a ‘sexy vocal coach.’ She also had gone on record stating that fidelity was overrated. There was a rumor last year that Pitt was sleeping with one of their nannies.
If this break up is true you can rest assure Aniston is going to bet with a smile on her face tonight.
Will update as soon as Brangelina confirms or denies.
