Robert Offer, a lawyer for Angelina Jolie, confirmed that the star has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt after two years of marriage, [PEOPLE](http://www.people.com/article/angelina-jolie-pitt-brad-pitt-divorce) confirms. Offer cites “the health of the family” as the reason. Jolie is also reportedly asking for physical custody of their six children — Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox — while asking that Pitt have visitation and joint legal custody, according to [TMZ](http://www.tmz.com/2016/09/20/angelina-joile-files-for-divorce-brad-pitt/). The couple met in 2004 while filming the action movie, _Mr. and Mrs. Smith_. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4501189/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-divorce/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4501189/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-divorce/"},"headline":"Angelina Jolie Files for Divorce From Brad Pitt","datePublished":"2016-09-20T15:02:50.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-13T19:05:07.000Z","description":"Love is dead","url":"https://time.com/4501189/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-divorce/","keywords":["celebrities","Entertainment","Angelina Jolie","Brad Pitt","celebrity","Culture","Newsfeed"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt25240d1f44bc2d93/6988a6cb656a3f769cbcd2bf/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-divorce1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt25240d1f44bc2d93/6988a6cb656a3f769cbcd2bf/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-divorce1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"AFI FEST 2015 Presented By Audi Opening Night Gala Premiere Of Universal Pictures' \"By the Sea\" - Arrivals","caption":"AFI FEST 2015 Presented By Audi Opening Night Gala Premiere Of Universal Pictures' \"By the Sea\" - Arrivals","creditText":"Jason LaVeris—FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4501189/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-divorce/","name":"Angelina Jolie Files for Divorce From Brad Pitt"}}]}] ```
