Brangelina no more!

Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt on Monday, her lawyer confirmed to the Associated Press. The actors have been married for two years.

TMZ, which first reported the news Tuesday, claims Jolie cited irreconcilable differences and is requesting full custody of the couples six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox. Sources for the outlet allege the separation, listed as Sept. 15, has come as a result of Pitts parenting methods and consumption of marijuana and alcohol.

Pitt confirmed the news in a statement to People, saying: I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the wellbeing of our kids. I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time.

This decision was made for the health of the family. She will not be commenting and asks that the family be given its privacy at this time, an attorney for Jolie said in a statement provided to Reuters.

Jolie and Pitt began dating while filming the 2005 movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The pair, popularly known as Brangelina, got engaged in April 2012 and later wed at a French chteau in August 2014.

Months before their ceremony, Jolie explained the couples careful consideration of the way marriage would fit into their family life in an interview with People, saying she and Pitt were waiting for it to be the right time with the kids, with work, when it feels right.
