Angelina Jolie has officially filed for a divorce from Brad Pitt after discovering his affair with his attractive co-star, as per a reliable source.
Suspecting infidelity on the movie set, Jolie decided to hire a private investigator who confirmed her doubts regarding Pitt’s involvement with his “Allied” co-star, Marion Cotillard.
The revelation served as the breaking point in their relationship, leading to Jolie initiating divorce proceedings.
Rumors had been circulating for some time about Pitt’s close relationship with Cotillard during the filming of their World War II movie in London.
The investigation revealed that Pitt was not only romantically involved with Cotillard but also engaging in reckless behavior off-screen, involving drugs and questionable company.
Sources close to the situation reported that Jolie was deeply disappointed by Pitt’s behavior, attributing it to a midlife crisis that he seemed unable to control.
Feeling overwhelmed by the circumstances, Jolie made the decision to end their marriage.
Despite the rumors surrounding Pitt’s affair with Cotillard, a source close to the actress stated that she is still committed to her long-time partner, Guillaume Canet.
Reports suggesting Cotillard’s pregnancy were neither confirmed nor denied by the source.
In response to the unfolding events, Jolie’s manager emphasized her dedication to prioritizing the well-being of her children and requested privacy during this challenging period.
Similarly, Pitt expressed his sadness over the situation and urged the press to respect their family’s need for space.
Apart from the affair scandal, sources revealed that Jolie and Pitt had been clashing over their differing lifestyles.
While Jolie desired to step away from Hollywood to focus on her humanitarian endeavors, Pitt remained attached to the entertainment industry and its social scene, causing tension between them.
The divergence in their career aspirations further strained their relationship, with Jolie becoming increasingly disillusioned with the superficial aspects of Hollywood.
Her recent address at the United Nations highlighted her evolving priorities and her commitment to advocacy work, contrasting Pitt’s inclination towards filmmaking.
Complicating matters, Jolie’s strained relationship with her father, Jon Voight, created additional friction, particularly as Pitt shared a closer bond with him.
The disparity in their family dynamics added another layer of complexity to their already troubled marriage.
Concerns about Pitt’s alleged substance abuse and volatile behavior raised red flags for Jolie, prompting her to take decisive action to protect their children.
The divorce filing cited irreconcilable differences, with Jolie seeking physical custody of their kids while allowing Pitt visitation rights.
As the legal proceedings unfold, Jolie has enlisted top attorney Laura Wasser to represent her interests in the divorce.
The couple’s separation date was officially noted as September 15, 2016, marking the end of their longstanding relationship that began in 2004.
