Brangelina split: What we know and don’t know
(CNN)The news that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are no more was certainly a shocker.
Not only did it rock Hollywood — along with an actual earthquake — but it stunned fans around the world who had embraced the supercouple and their six children.
The dust has settled a bit, so let’s sort out what we know and what we don’t:
Jolie made the move
The actress filed divorce paperwork Monday through her lawyer Laura Wasser, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
Jolie asked for a few things, including some personal property and physical custody of their children.
What Brad and Angelina have had to say
On Tuesday, Pitt released a statement to CNN.
“I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids,” he said. “I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time.”
Robert Offer, a lawyer for Jolie, also released a statement.
“This decision was made for the health of the family,” the statement said. “She will not be commenting at this time, and asks that the family be given their privacy during this difficult time.”
