It’s over for Brangelina.
Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, one of Jolie’s attorneys, Robert Offer, confirmed to the Associated Press.
“This decision was made “for the health of the family,” Offer said in a statement. “She will not be commenting, and asks that the family be given its privacy at this time.”
He did not go into the reasons for the split. TMZ, which first broke the news, says that Jolie cited “irreconcilable differences” and is asking for physical custody of the couple’s six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne.
The couple was married in a private ceremony in August of 2014. They had been together since 2004.
After news of the divorce broke, #brangelina quickly trended on Twitter, with fans weighing in on the split of one of Hollywood’s most iconic power couples.
Just when you thought 2016 couldn't get any worse, #Brangelina is splitting up?!? Now I know how people felt when the Beatles broke up.
