Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s reported divorce has only been in the news cycle for a hot minute, but there are already lots of rumors to go around.
It’s so dramatic, one half of the couple has been hit with accusations of cheating, hard boozing, drug use, and anger problems.
Get all the latest details below on Brangelina’s shocking breakup.
Brad has broken his silence. While he hasn’t responded to the many shocking allegations against him (see below), the 52-year-old has confirmed the divorce.
"I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids," he declaredin a statement. The father of six is expected to request joint custody of Brangelina's shared brood, InTouch reports.
Angelina’s the one to file for divorce. The Tomb Raider star, 41, filed the legal docs on Monday, September 19, citing irreconcilable differences. Angie is not looking for spousal support.
Her manager Geyer Kosinski confirmed the divorce, telling E! News, "Angelina will always do what's in the best interest to protect her children." Angie's attorney echoed Geyer's sentiment, telling Reuters, "This decision was made for the health of the family."
There was supposedly a lot to be "fed up" with. Angie was done with Brad’s “consumption of weed and possibly alcohol,” insiders tell TMZ.
If that’s not bad enough, the Oscar nominee also believed her husband, 52, had an “anger problem,” putting their six children in danger.
Rumors are split on infidelity. While some sources say there was no “third person,” other pals are singing a different song.
“She hired a private eye because she felt that he was fooling around … on the set, and it turns out, he was,” an insider tells Page Six.
The rumored other woman? Brad’s Allied co-star Marion Cotillard.
Marion Cotillard is “devastated” over being dragged into Brangelina's drama. The Oscar-winner, 40, is actually in a nine-year relationship with fellow French actor Guillaume Canet, who's the father of her five-year-old son Marcel.
“Marion and Guillaume are blissfully happy, and these kind of claims are not what Marion wants to be hearing,” a source tells the Daily Mail.
And Brad is fighting back against allegations he's violent. Friends branded the scary accusations against Brad "a malicious lie," TMZ reports.
Insiders deny the actor has anger issues and is instead, "a loving and devoted father who has never and would never put his children in any dangerous situation."
A fight may have caused Brangelina's split. Brad is heading to the Adriatic coast this month, and Angelina wanted him to spend the last few days of summer with their sprawling family at their estate in France.
Brad was “dead set” on going to Croatia instead, leaving his wife “in tears,” a source tells InTouch.
Angelina probably wanted to publicly drag Brad. Celebs usually wait until Friday afternoon to deal with scandal-igniting drama, as Lainey Gossip pointed out.
Angie, however, waited to file at the very beginning of the week, as any and all Emmys coverage wrapped up.
With fall now in full swing, that also means Brad’s about to be everywhere to promote his upcoming Oscar-bait film (with Marion), Allied. Talk about an awkward press tour.
Angelina is definitely emotional right now. But it’s unclear which emotions she’s feeling.
While some insiders claim the mother of six’s decision to divorce is “weighing heavy on her heart,” others allege, “She feels like a weight has been lifted” after clashes over Brad’s parenting.
Still, there may be less dramatic reasons for divorce. It’s believed Brangelina may have been battling over “lifestyle” choices.
While Angelina is ready to leave Hollywood behind to dedicate herself to her humanitarian work 100 percent, Brad still wants “to make movies,” insiders claim.
No matter what happens, Brangelina will put their kids first. “Their children will always be their chief priority,” a friend reveals.
“They’ll continue to take different configurations of the kids with them when they got off on location or on trips. And they’ll of course come back together for family events and holidays.”
