Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, the actress’s lawyer has confirmed.
Robert Offer said the actress filed for “dissolution of marriage” on Monday, adding the “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,” Offer added in the statement.
The couple have been together since 2004 but only married in August 2014.
They have six children together – Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne.
Jolie and Pitt – nicknamed “Brangelina” by fans – are one of the best-known couples in Hollywood.
They got together after meeting on the set of the film Mr & Mrs Smith, which was released in 2005.
Pitt and Jolie most recently worked together on 2015 film By The Sea – a relationship drama directed and produced by Jolie.
