Angelina Jolie Files For Divorce From Brad Pitt,12 Years Into The Marraige
Angelina Jolie has filed to divorce Brad Pitt; her husband of twelve years. The couple had not been seen together in months and were last photographed at a event together in November of last year while promoting their film By the Sea.
This will be the third divorce for Jolie, who was previously married to Sherlock star Johnny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton.
Pitt's first marriage to actress Jennifer Aniston ended in 2005 as a result of his relationship with Jolie, who he met when the two worked on the 2005 film Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Jolie adopted her first son Maddox in March 2002, two years before she met Pitt on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith back in 2004.
It was later gathered that Pitt had been by Jolie's side one month prior when she adopted daughter Zahara from a orphanage Ethiopia. Soon after this is when Pitt formally adopted Jolie's son Maddox, with the children changing their surname to Jolie-Pitt.
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt was born in May 2006 in Namibia, with the couple choosing to give birth in Africa to avoid a press frenzy.The duo has finally made public that they were together in 2006 after Jolie became pregnant with Pitt's child.
