Angelina Jolie [1] has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt [2], People confirms. TMZ was the first to report the news that the actress filed papers to end their marriage [3] on Monday, citing irreconcilable differences, and has requested physical custody of the couple's six children [4] — Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, Zahara, and twins Vivienne and Knox. She has also asked the judge to give Brad visitation rights. Angelina's attorney, Robert Offer, said in a statement on Tuesday that her decision to split was "for the health of the family" [5] but did not answer any further questions. Brad later released a statement [6] saying "what matters most now is the well-being of our kids."
The couple married in a private ceremony [7] in France in 2014. Despite being protective of their home life over the years, Angelina and Brad have opened up about their romance [8] a handful of times and also weren't shy about engaging in PDA [9], which makes the news that much more shocking.
