Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are probably one of Hollywood’s hottest power couples, so news of their divorce has definitely come as a shock.
TMZ was first to break the story on Tuesday that Brangelina are calling it quits after two years of marriage.
Angelina filed for divorce on the grounds of Brad’s alleged substance abuse, anger and lack of parenting skills.

She has requested sole physical custody of the children with only visitation rights for Brad of their six children: Maddox Jolie-Pitt, 14, Pax Jolie-Pitt, 11, Zahara Jolie-Pitt, 10, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, 9, Knox Jolie-Pitt, 7, and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 7.
Naturally, with a divorce in Tinseltown, there have been multiple rumours regarding the cause of separation: was there trouble brewing behind closed doors? Had either been unfaithful?
Actress Marion Cotillard found herself in the centre of the Brangelina drama when rumours started to make the rounds that there may have been something going on between her and Brad after recently starring in a movie together.
Marion took to her Instagram to deny any involvement in the Jolie-Pitt split.

“This is going to be my first and only reaction to the whirlwind news that broke 24 hours ago and that I was swept up into. I am not used to commenting on things like this nor taking them seriously but as this situation is spiraling and affecting people I love, I have to speak up,” she began.
“Firstly, many years ago, I met the man of my life, father of our son and of the baby we are expecting. He is my love, my best friend, the only one that I need. Secondly to those who have indicated that I am devastated, I am very well thank you. This crafted conversation isn’t distressing. And to all the media and the haters who are quick to pass judgment, I sincerely wish you a swift recovery. Finally, I do very much wish that Angelina and Brad, both whom I deeply respect, will find peace in this very tumultuous moment. With all my love, Marion”
Whatever happens, we hope they resolve their differences for the sake of the children.
