It’s been confirmed, amidst rumors, by a reliable source
to CNN that Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from husband Brad Pitt. There
has been speculation that a tabloid-friendly, child-unfriendly custody battle
may ensue over their six children. But a source close to them asserted that
both sides want a cordial breakup.
“Other than the fame of the people involved, this is like
so many other divorces,” the source said.
The divorce filing may tell a very different story.
Pitt and Jolie got married in 2014 but their relationship
became the subject of speculation in 2004, when they co-starred in “Mr. &
Mrs. Smith.” At the time, Pitt was married to actress Jennifer Aniston.
According to TMZ, Jolie is seeking physical custody of
the couple’s six children — Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox.
She is asking the judge to give Pitt visitation, not joint physical custody,
which is interesting for a pair, who seemed on the same page when it came to
parenting their homeschooled brood and have both said they were raising them as
“citizens of the world.”
