Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have separated after 12 years of relationship.
Four years have had to pass since the separation of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt for us to have more information about that break. What happened between our favorite Hollywood couple? Without a doubt, throughout this time we have had various theories of how the relationship ended, but it seems that the causes have finally been revealed, and precisely by one of its protagonists.
The actress Angelina Jolie has just given an interview in which she finally says what made her separate from Brad Pitt after two years of marriage and ten years of being together: “I separated for the well-being of my family. It was the right decision”, revealed the actress and producer.
In addition, she assured that she is focused on healing her family after her separation and how her children have been her greatest strength: “I continue to focus on her recovery. Some have taken advantage of my silence, and children see lies about them in the media, but I remind them that they know the truth. They are very brave and very strong young people.”
Angelina Jolie decided to file for divorce in 2016 after a violent episode between Brad Pitt and his eldest son, Maddox. This led to a couple of years of a custody battle over the six children, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivianne, Knox, Madox, and Pax, which finally ended in 2018 with a settlement between the two actors, which avoided a larger trial.
Regarding them, Angelina Jolie also spoke in the interview with the said publication about adoption and how this issue is dealt with by her little ones: “The important thing is to speak frankly about everything and share. 'Adoption' and 'orphanage' are positive words in our home. With my adopted children I can't talk about pregnancy, but I do speak in great detail and love the journey to find them and what it was like to look into their eyes for the first time. Furthermore, she added: “All adopted children come with a beautiful mystery of a world meeting yours. When they are of another race and place, that mystery, that gift, is complete. For them, they should never lose touch with their origin. They have roots that you don't. honor them. Learn from them. It is the most incredible journey to share.”
