A Divorce No One Saw Coming

October 14, 2016

One (if not the) highest profiled couple in Hollywood has called it quits after nearly twelve years together. Angelina Jolie shocked us all when she filed for divorce from Brad Pitt citing irreconcilable differences. As if the divorce wasn’t jolting enough, she continued to surprise us by seeking sole physical custody of the couple’s six children. So what happened that led to this Hollywood couple’s demise? Infidelity? Love lost? Bad parenting? Karma? We all know their warped ‘fairytale’ love story (flashback to the iconic #TeamJen and #TeamAneglina t-shirts), but with this new ending that no one predicted, we have to ask if the relationship was doomed from the start. Since 2004, Jolie and Pitt have made headlines. We almost forget that Mr. & Mrs. Smith was actually a movie and not a documentary about did they or didn’t they fall for each other while still married to other people. But between adoptions, births, movies, health scares, and finally a wedding, the couple always remained relevant for over a decade. We imagine the divorce will be settled quietly and quickly. Both camps have been outspoken about their well intentions for their young children.
