‘Karma’ rears its ugly head as Angelina Jolie divorces Brad Pitt

Brangelina is over. Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt after two years of marriage, Us Weekly can confirm. Take a look back at the couple through the years in the video above.

“Angelina Jolie Pitt has filed for dissolution of the marriage,” Jolie’s rep said in a statement to Us Tuesday, September 20. “This decision was made for the health of the family. She will not be commenting at this time, and asks that the family be given their privacy during this difficult time.”

According to TMZ, the Academy Award–winning actress, 41, filed divorce documents Monday, September 19, citing irreconcilable differences.

Jolie is reportedly requesting physical custody of their six children, Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 8. TMZ reported that she requested that the Fight Club actor, 52, only get joint legal custody. She is not asking for spousal support.

Us Weekly was the first to report in June that there was tension between the couple over whether to sell their estate in France. A source told Us at the time that Pitt wanted to keep the property, but Jolie wanted to sell it as she was “ramping up her efforts in the political world.”

According to TMZ, Jolie filed for divorce because of “the way Brad was parenting the children” and “was extremely upset with his methods.”

The Tomb Raider actress is being represented by famed Hollywood divorce attorney Laura Wasser, TMZ said.
Last month, Us Weekly exclusively reported that the pair celebrated their second wedding anniversary with a low-key date night at a five-star resort. “It was just the two of them. They had dinner and spent the night, and that was it,” a source told Us at the time, adding, “They want to keep the love alive.”

The former couple secretly married in August 2014 at their Château Miraval estate in Correns, France. During the private ceremony, Jolie wore a dress designed with their children’s drawings on it. Maddox and Pax walked the actress down the aisle, Zahara and Vivienne threw petals from the family’s garden and Shiloh and Knox were the ring bearers, a spokesperson told Us at the time.

Jolie and Pitt started dating in 2004 — while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston — while costarring in Mr. & Mrs. Smith. This was Jolie’s third marriage. She previously tied the knot with Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton.
