"Angelina has filed for dissolution of the marriage. 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."

Apparently, the reason has to do with Pitt's parenting skills, the news site reports. Jolie, 41, has asked the judge for physical custody of their six children children together and apparently does not want Pitt, 51, to have joint physical custody, only joint legal custody. She does, however, want the judge to grant her estranged husband with visitation rights.
In early 2005, Jolie was involved in a well-publicized Hollywood scandal when she was accused of being the reason for the divorce of actors Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. She and Pitt were alleged to have started an affair during filming of Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005). Jolie stated on several occasions that this was not true, but also said that they "fell in love" on the set; she explained in 2005, "To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn't be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife." Jolie and Pitt did not publicly comment on the nature of their relationship until January 2006, when Jolie confirmed that she was pregnant with Pitt's child. They announced their engagement in April 2012, after seven years together, and married on August 23, 2014, at their estate Château Miraval in Correns, France. Jolie took on Pitt's name following their marriage. As a couple, they are dubbed "Brangelina" by the entertainment media, and are the subject of worldwide media coverage.
The couple married in August of 2014 and started dating in 2004. They have six children together, ranging from the ages of 8-15.
RIP Brangelina.
