In
a
shocking
turn
of
events,
Angelina
Jolie
has
filed
for
divorce
from
actor-producer
husband
Brad
Pitt
after
spending
11
years
together.
Angelina
Jolie
has
decided
to
get
separated
and
filed
divorce
from
husband
Brad
Pitt,
on
family
grounds,
as
Angelina's
attorney
confirmed.
"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," Robert
Offer,
the
attorney
stated.
The
couple
cited
irreconcilable
differences
and
the
"health
of
the
family" as
the
reason
for
their
split.
Angelina
and
Brad
have
been
together
for
almost
11
years,
since
2005.
"Both
Pitt,
52,
and
Jolie
care
very
much
about
their
kids
and
there
is
sadness
on
both
sides,
the
divorce
is
a
complete
shock.
They
have
definitely
spent
more
time
apart
this
year,
but
it's
still
a
shock.
They
just
celebrated
their
wedding
anniversary
together.''
A
source
stated.
While
Brad
Pitt,
who
is
pretty
dejected
by
the
turn
of
events,
has
said:
"I
am
very
saddened
by
this,
but
what
matters
most
now
is
the
wellbeing
of
our
kids.
I
kindly
ask
the
press
to
give
them
the
space
they
deserve
during
this
challenging
time."
