“She will not be commenting, and asks that the family be given its privacy at this time, ” Offer added in the statement, according to the BBC.
US entertainment website TMZ reports that Jolie lists the date of separation as Sept. 15. due to”irreconcilable differences” in the divorce papers.
The American TMZ sources say that Jolie was “fed up” with Pitt’s substance abuse, including pot and booze, combined with what she saw as anger issues.
“Jolie is seeking sole physical custody of the kids, with Pitt being granted only visitation, ” according to TMZ . A request the website calls “significant.”
It was Pitt’s second marriage, after “Friends” star Jennifer Aniston. For Jolie it was third after Billy Bob Thornton and Jonny Lee Miller.
