WHATS NOW ?BREAKING DIVORCE'' ITS OVER FOR ANGELINA JOLIE AND BRAD' IS THIS THE PAY BACK TIME'MBUTA NANGA''

RUWA MANGI''Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt (couple above in November 2015 at their last public appearance together)

Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt for 'the health of her family,' two years after the couple wed at their French estate Chateau Miraval.

The actress filed papers on Monday citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split and asking for physical custody of the couple's six children - Maddox, age 15; Pax, aged 12; Zahara, aged 11; Shiloh, aged 10; and twins Vivienne and Knox, aged eight.

A source close to the couple told TMZ that Jolie, 41, made the decision to file because of the way 'Brad was parenting the children,' adding that 'she was extremely upset with his methods.'

That same source claims Jolie became 'fed up' with Pitt's consumption of 'weed and possibly alcohol' mixed with his 'anger problem.'

The pair began dating in early 2005 after they met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Page Six is reporting however that it was after Jolie learned through a private eye that Pitt was cheating on her with Marion Cotillard on the set of their new film Allied that she made the decision to split from the actor.

That claim is being refuted however by a source close to the couple who claims that the Cotillard and Pitt '100 per cent did not have an affair.'

The source also claims that when Jolie visited Pitt on the set of Allied she refused to speak with Cotillard and ignored the actress when she tried to talk to her.

Cotillard, 40, has been in a relationship with actor and writer Guillaume Canet, 43, since 2007, and the couple have a 5-year-old son Marcel.

Jolie, who is being repped by Laura Wasser, is not asking for spousal support in the divorce. Wasser most recently represented Johnny Depp in his divorce from Amber Heard.

Jolie has listed the separation date as September 15, 2016 , just last Thursday.

The couple had not been seen together in months and were last photographed on a red carpet together in November of last year while promoting their film By The Sea.

People spoke with a source who claims that fighting between the two got so bad at times over the past year that Pitt would flee to France.

As for the discipline issue, the source said: 'Brad has always been stricter. He has wanted the kids to have more structure. Brad will get frustrated sometimes and yell at the kids. Angelina always had a more relaxed attitude when it came to the kids. She definitely never yells.'

An attorney for Jolie, Robert Offer, said Tuesday in a statement that she has filed for the dissolution of the marriage 'for the health of the family.'

He then added: 'She will not be commenting, and asks that the family be given its privacy at this time.'

Jolie's manager Geyer Kosinski also released a statement, saying: 'Angelina will always do what's in the best interest to protect her children.

'She appreciates everyone's understanding of their need for privacy at this time.'

Pitt said in a statement to DailyMail.com: 'I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well being of our kids. I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time.'

Cottilard has yet to respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com, but a source close to the actress said: ‘Marion and Guillaume are blissfully happy, and these kind of claims are not what Marion wants to be hearing.

‘Claims that she’s cheating on Guillaume with Brad will leave her absolutely devastated. This doesn’t sound like her at all.’

The source added: ‘She enjoys her family time, and wants to enjoy more of it. All this fuss will be a huge shock to her.’

I could say the divorce announcement is a shock, but it’s not,’ a long-time friend of Brad and Angelina told DailyMail.com.

‘This divorce deal has been brewing for a long time.’

The friend said it wasn’t long after the couple tied the knot in 2014 that cracks began to show in their 12-year-long relationship.

‘When Angelina underwent her mastectomy in 2013, her health and life in general became a priority for her,’ added the source.

‘Her views on life changed. Suddenly she saw herself walking in her late mother’s shoes - and she was no longer that wild, fun loving woman she used to be, she was taking things a lot more seriously.

Her mom, Marcheline Bertrand, who died of ovarian cancer in 2007, had always been Angelina’s biggest influence, friends say.

‘Brad was supportive, and wanted to be there for her, so they decided to marry – more for the sake of their six children than themselves. They wanted the kids to have the security of knowing their parents were committed because they had been very affected by the their mom’s ill health.’

But it was not long after the wedding, that things began to change for the couple.

‘Angelina wasn’t into wasting time on frivolous matters. Brad felt it was important for them to live life to the fullest, but as the months passed, Angelina seemed to withdraw, making the children and her work with the UN a priority.

‘Angelina wasn’t really interested in doing any project that took her away from the children and home, but Brad was still wanting the wanderlust, adventure-filled life that first attracted him to her.’

The friend said that the underlying reasons behind the Pitt-Jolie split are the same that caused him to divorce Jennifer Aniston — ‘he was bored stiff with the sedate, quiet lifestyle they were leading.

‘When he was with Jennifer, it was Angelina who provided the excitement that was missing in his life. But when Angelina shifted gears and became more serious – that wasn’t what Brad thought he was buying into.’

Pitt also wanted to continue tinkering with building work on Chateau Miraval, their sprawling home in the South of France, but Jolie was content with it as it was and ‘wanted to just sit back and enjoy the life they had created.’

The couple are now reportedly trying to sell that property.

And Pitt had thrown himself back into acting, with six projects since their marriage He is also about to start on a sequel to World War Z which will again take him away from his wife and children

‘Angelina did not approve of this movie because she knew it would once again take him away from her and the family when she felt they needed to spend more time together,’ said the friend.

Pitt, who dabbles in architecture — he designed more than 100 homes in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina — had also signed papers to star work on a $1.5 billion resort project in Croatia. ‘He’s a huge part of the planning. He can’t wait to get started,’ said the friend.

The Croatia project allowed him to meet some of the world’s leading architects and learn from them, said the friend. Pitt traveled to Zablace on the Dalmatian coast earlier this month

‘For the past year Brad and Angelina have been leading separate lives. He’s always flying off to one place or another, while she stays home with the kids. With each month that passed, Brad and Angelina grew further apart,’ said the source, ‘Friends have been predicting tha tdivorce was on the horizon.

‘Now it’s come to pass, and it’s no surprise.’

This will be the third divorce for Jolie, who was previously married to Elementary star Johnny Lee Miller for three years after the pair met on the set of the film Hackers.

She later wed Billy Bob Thornton just two months after the pair began dating when they met on the set of Pushing Tin.

Thornton had been engaged to actress Laura Dern at the time.

Pitt's first marriage to actress Jennifer Aniston ended in 2005, with rumors swirling at the time that it was because of his relationship with Joilie, who he met when the two worked on the 2005 film Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Prior to that he was engaged to Gwyneth Paltrow and dated actress Juliette Lewis for three years in the early 1990s, despite being a decade older than the then teenager.
