Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Rumored to Be Separating
There have been several reports that movie-star couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are separating. Although the couple is not legally married, it is rumored the pair has already signed the paperwork for a $366 million dollar split.
Since the couple never married, their assets are not subject to property division laws. However, several reports have stated that Jolie and Pit have agreed to split their fortune evenly, which includes millions of dollars and homes in France, New Orleans, and California.
The couple also plans to share custody of their six children: Maddox, 8, Pax 6, Zahara, 5, Shiloh, 3, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 17 months. Although Pitt will share joint custody with Jolie, the children will primarily reside with their mother.
Despite the split being reported by multiple news outlets, People.com and other celebrity sites are claiming that the rumors are not true. The article on People.com states that “everything is fine” between the two and that reports of a separation are “totally false.”
