They seemed like the perfect couple. But now its all descended into typical divorce drama.
Jolie filed for divorce from her now ex-husband, Brad Pitt. She did so in 2016, citing irreconcilable differences.
According to court documents, the pair separated on September 15, 2016. The split happened two years and one month after their August 2014 marriage. Their relationship lasted almost a decade, and made them parents to six children.
The event of divorce has given way to more drama, to do with custody arrangements. The former married couple have been caught in a battle over their children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne.
Jolie wants sole custody, however Pitt wants joint custody.
The case is still ongoing.
Divorce is really complicated, however the presence of children makes it even more so.
