One of Hollywood’s biggest profile marriages has sadly come to an end. The world renowned “Power Couple” of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, have officially announced that they have decided to part ways after being together for 12 years.

It is reported that Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from husband Brad Pitt, citing irreconcilable differences as the cause for the split. According to the court documents, the pair separated on September 15, two years and one month after they married in August 2014. At this moment, Jolie is seeking physical custody of their six children requesting the court to grant visitation to Brad.

During their time together, they had firmly established themselves as one of Hollywood’s biggest couples and their presence and influence spread felt far and wide, from the red carpet to refugee camps in the world’s trouble spots.

Ms. Jolie Pitt was silent on the matter, but Mr. Pitt recently reported that he is saddened by this and also considered the well-being of his children as most important to him. He gave a statement to People magazine: “I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids. I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time.”
