(Photo by Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic) Jason LaVeris—FilmMagic  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Sep 21, 2016 3:43 PM UTC The announcement that [Angelina Jolie had filed for divorce from Brad Pitt](http://time.com/4501189/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-divorce/) on Tuesday was the [celeb split-up felt round the world](http://time.com/4501208/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-divorce-couple/). Brangelina fans basically broke the Internet speculating about the cause, [wallowing in their feelings about it](http://time.com/4501513/brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-style/), and finding the appropriate [memes for the occasion](http://time.com/4501232/brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-divorce-internet-reactions/). Thankfully, one of the few things that ardent Brangelina shippers won’t have to worry about is the fate of the former It-couple’s wax figures. Madame Tussauds wax museum in London has done the only logical thing they could at this time and tastefully separated Jolie and Pitt’s wax counterparts, who [debuted at the museum in 2013](http://www.people.com/article/brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-wax-figures-separated-madame-tussauds-muuseum). In an Instagram posted by the museum on Wednesday, it appears that Robert Pattinson now stands between the two in the “party area” of the exhibit; they offered this as explanation in the caption: “Following the news of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie commencing divorce proceedings, we can confirm that we have diplomatically separated the couple in our Party area.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4502646/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-wax-figures/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4502646/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-wax-figures/"},"headline":"Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's Wax Figures Have Officially Split Up","datePublished":"2016-09-21T15:43:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:36:48.023Z","description":"Even Madame Tussauds called it quits","url":"https://time.com/4502646/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-wax-figures/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Angelina Jolie","Brad Pitt","celebrity","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5bbc631d45a211c7/6988a6f70a4a2277f99cb5a3/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-wax-figures.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":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5bbc631d45a211c7/6988a6f70a4a2277f99cb5a3/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-wax-figures.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":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4502646/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-wax-figures/","name":"Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's Wax Figures Have Officially Split Up"}}]}] ```
