Just a few weeks after their second wedding anniversary,
the Oscar-winning actress filed for divorce from her longtime partner on
Monday, citing irreconcilable differences.
Jolie requested physical custody of the six kids, but
also asked that Pitt receive visitation rights.
This will be the second divorce for Pitt, who was
previously married to Jennifer Aniston and the third divorce for
Jolie, who was also married to Billy Bob Thornton and Jonny Lee
Miller.
Brad Pitt reacted saying "I am very saddened by
this, but what matters most now is the wellbeing of our kids," he said in
a statement to People Magazine. "I kindly ask the press
to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time."
Jolie and Pitt famously adopted Maddox Jolie-Pitt, 15, Pax Jolie-Pitt, 12, and Zahara
Jolie-Pitt, 11, while Jolie gave birth to Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, 10, and twins Knox Jolie-Pitt and Vivienne
Jolie-Pitt, 8, in the 12 years they spent as a couple.
Very sad indeed. I was really rooting for them.
