What Went Wrong?
According to private sources, the couple was undergoing marital issues. While meeting on the sets of the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2004), the duo seemed to magnet each other when Brad Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston. A year later (2005), Jennifer Aniston filed for divorce, and the couple split happily. In 2006, after adopting an Ethiopian girl, Zahara, the couple revealed they were expecting their own baby.
They happily married at a chapel in Château Miraval in 2014 and decided to get a divorce in 2016. The ex-couple is worth £308 million together, known to own several properties around the world as well.
Everything seemed to go well then; have they been jinxed now? No!
The reports expose the motives behind the split up. Angelina Jolie pointed fingers at Brad Pitt for ‘Bad Parenting’ and ‘Substance Abuse.’ To which the actor, Brad Pitt, denied, Angelina Jolie added she wanted to ‘Unleash Hell’ on the family with the divorce of the stunning duo.
With six children, namely, Maddox (15), Pax (12), Zahara (11), Shiloh (10), and the twins Knox and Vivienne (8), Angelina Jolie is filing for full custody without spouse support from Pitt with the appeal to giving visiting rights to the father from time to time. According to the media, Pitt states his focus now lies solely on the kids.
While starring in a recent film, By the Sea, which was produced by Pitt and written and directed by Jolie, the story encircled a glamorous couple whose happily married life was now a calamity.
When asked about the couple’s roles, Angelina told the Radio Times, “It feels a little daunting. We haven’t worked together for ten years. But all of the reasons why bodies say we should be scared of it, we believe that’s exactly why we have to make this – because we can. So we’re going to go boldly.”
Apparently being happily married in 2015, Angelina told Tom Brokaw of NBC, “I’m counting on the public to understand that if it was adjacent to us at all, we could never do this film; it’s just because we are very, very solid, and these aren’t our issues.” (By the Sea).
Apart from being hand in hand on the screens, the couple has participated in philanthropy activities towards their society. Brad Pitt is known to have worked rebuilding New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, while Angelina Jolie is United Nations’ envoy for refugee problems.
Other sources expose that Brad Pitt co-starred with the French actress Marion Cotillard in the drama Allied and was known to have a secret affair. Marion, an Oscar-winning actress, furiously denied the accusations as she stated she is in a long-term relationship with Guillaume Canet. Angelina Jolie hired a private detective, and upon seeing physical proof, she accused the two and suspected her husband, Brad Pitt, was not worth her time anymore.
According to the media, several co-stars and friends were also left devastated by the horrific news. Angelina Jolie’s father, the actor Jon Voight spoke to Inside Edition, stating, “It’s a sad thing. Say a little prayer. I am concerned for Angie and the kids, and hopefully, I will be seeing them very soon.”
