Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are now finalizing their divorce settlements after 12 years of living as husband and wife. The couple meets in court to battle over the custody of their six children. Rumors said that Brad Pitt's affair with actress Marion Cotillard is the main reason behind the divorce of the world's most loved couple.
The conflict between the couple started in 2016 as Brad starred in the drama film "Allied". Marion Cotillard starred as Pitt's love interest in the film. According to a source, Angelina hired a private investigator to follow her husband because her instinct told her that he is cheating on her while he is shooting the film. Marion denied the allegation on a post in her Instagram.
Another reason that might have caused the end of the marriage is Pitt's alleged drinking and substance abuse. The couple admitted in an interview that they enjoyed drinking. Pitt also confirmed that he is using cocaine and smoking weed. Angelina stopped her habit of drinking when they married as she sets herself as a good example for her six children. Rumors claimed that the actor continued with his old habits which affected his relationship with his family. Rumors said that Angelina blamed the actor's addition to alcohol for the divorce. She was quoted saying that his addiction led to losing his projects.
The two are known for their different characters. According to Angelina's interview with the Vogue, they had a different parenting style. She said that Pitt prioritized his acting career while she wants to settle down and look over the family.
Rumors also said that Angelina is pissed because Brad still has hang ups with his exes. A reporter in the Morning USA claimed that the actor calls out Gwyneth Paltrow's name on his sleep. It was also reported that he reconnected with his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston while they were having marital problems.
Reports of The Sun said that Angelina allowed Brad to spend time with his kids this summer while she is filming "Those Who Wish Me Dead in New Mexico". It was reported that the actress reached out to her husband and offered him a chance to see the kids. The report added that it is a massive step for them and the children, who have only had limited time with Brad since the break-up. The new development marks a new chapter in their lives.
