Brangelina is no more. Angelina Jolie Pitt has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, bringing an end to one of the world’s most star-studded, tabloid-generating romances.

An attorney for Jolie Pitt, Robert Offer, said Tuesday that she has filed for the dissolution of the marriage. Offer said the decision was made “for the health of the family.” The filing dated the couple’s separation as last Thursday.

According to TMZ sources, “Angelina became “fed up” with Brad’s consumption of weed and possibly alcohol, and mixed with what she believes is “an anger problem” … felt it became dangerous for the children.”

Page Six however, reported today that Angelina thought he was having an affair with his Allied co-star Marion Cotillard. Their source claims she “hired a private eye because she felt that [Brad] was fooling around with [Marion] on the set, and it turns out, he was. And that was the final straw.” TMZ refuted this claim, with”sources with intimate knowledge of the situation.”

Brad Pitt released a statement about the divorce exclusively to People. “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.”

The couple has six children together: 5-year-old Maddox, 12-year-old Pax, 11-year-old Zahara, 10-year-old Shiloh, and 8-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. Jolie is asking for physical custody of all six kids and for Pitt to only have visitation.

Though together for 12 years, Pitt and Jolie only wed in August 2014. They married privately in the French hamlet of Correns in Provence with their children serving as ring bearers and throwing flower petals.
