Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt after being together for 12 years, married for two.

There are so few couples left in Hollywood who are in it for the long run, and now we can cross the Jolie-Pitts off the list. Angelina just filed for divorce and we're beginning to question if true love really exists anymore. 

It's been one week since Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, and news of the couple's split has only continued to raise more questions.

Many have wondered how finances will play into the power couple's highly-publicized divorce, but E! News can confirm money is not the issue at this time. Rather, the two will continue to battle over custody of their six children, MaddoxPaxZaharaShiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne. Jolie has asked for full custody of the kids while the Department of Children and Family Services in Los Angeles County continues conducting an inquiry into the allegations that Pitt was involved in an incident with a child aboard a private plane earlier this month.


Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt on Monday, Sept. 19, according to court documents obtained by E! News, with news of their split hitting headlines and shocking the world on Tuesday, Sept. 20.

The actress' manager, Geyer Kosinski, released a statement on her behalf, saying, "Angelina will always do what's in the best interest of taking care of her family. She appreciates everyone's understanding of their need for privacy at this time."

Brad also broke his silence about the divorce in statement, saying, "I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well being of our kids. I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time."

Although Jolie hasn’t told her father what caused the split, he admitted he would find out when he “sees Angie and the children soon, I don’t know much about it except it must be something serious, I just got the news and I’m concerned.”

Jolie, 41, is seeking full physical custody of their six children, leaving Pitt, 52, with visitation rights. “The priority is always the children,” he explained. “I know she’s always concerned about the children.” Despite the divorce, Voight, 77, believes the couple could remain amicable for their kids Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox .

“I’m hopeful,” he said. “Say a little prayer. This is news to me too.
Jolie cited irreconcilable differences and listed their separation date as September 15. She is not seeking spousal support.

Pitt began dating Jolie in 2005 after starring in Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Their relationship followed his split from ex-wife Jennifer Aniston.

The actors secretly married in 2014. 

Sources close to the couple claim the actress strongly disagreed with Pitt’s parenting style. She reportedly became “extremely upset with his methods.”

Maldives Festivals


The spread of Islam in Maldives  around 1153 M, the Maldivians were devoted with the honourable religious spirit and brotherhood of Islam. This formed a great community spirit.The great bond of being a Muslim created a sense of peace and calmness by which they lived a simple caring life. 




The community spirit showed much more during special occasions like Eid which comes in the month of Zul-Hijjah (H) and when the fasting month, Ramazan is over.They begin preparing for the Eid by cleaning, whitewashing and decorating their houses. They cook very big meals and invite others to join in the festivities. People would visit one another and they would distribute their delicacies to relatives, neighbours and friends.We could expect two or three Thashibari brought to our home on such special occasions. If we fall ill, the neighbours might come and help with our housework. 

In the early days, (and very often even today) pregnant women deliver their babies at home. This is an occasion when the neighbours come in and do all the household work, cook and take care of the mother and baby. There were and still are many instances like these when traits of Islamic brotherhood, community support and co-operation show the social kinship formed amongst Maldivians.
