Angelina Jolie to divorce Brad Pitt but is Marion Cotillard the real reason they broke up?
ANGELINA Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt after two years of marriage but could his 'Allied' co-star Marion Cotillard be the real reason behind the split?
After 12 years together, Angelina, 41, cited irreconcilable differences for divorce and wants overall physical custody of their six children - so what did happen to Hollywood's power couple?
For many fans the split won't come as a shock as The Sun revealed the couple have been living separate lives for several months following a string of rows - but what might they have been about?
Marion Cotillard rumours
In recent months, Brad Pitt has been rumoured to be getting closer to his 'Allied' co-star Marion Cotillard, 40, while the pair were in London together.
A well-placed source told on Tuesday that Angelina “hired a private eye because she felt that he was fooling around with her on the set, and it turns out, he was. And that was the final straw.”
Arguments over raising their children
A source close to Brad told The Sun: “Angelina is very unhappy with the marriage and wants out with Brad.
“There have been rumours around the status of the relationship for years, but they are now very much in turmoil and it is hard to see a way out.
“There have been a constant string of arguments about their future and their children.
“They ended up completely disagreeing over how to raise the kids.”
Work differences
Ange, 41, has been focusing on her humanitarian work while Brad, 52, focuses on launching a resort in Croatia.
Angelina has been focused on her humanitarian efforts as a Special Envoy for the UN fighting for refugees, while Brad is busy with his multiple acting and business ventures.
Earlier this month Angelina visited a refugee camp in Jordan where she urged world leaders to find a solution to the Syrian crisis.
Meanwhile Brad spent the first part of September in Croatia where he is negotiating a £1billion deal to build a new luxury resort in the coastal town of Zablace, complete with villas, a golf course, shops and a flagship hotel.
And the warring couple have not made an official public appearance together since last November at the premiere of their flop movie By the Sea, which was made in Malta.
