Reasons of Brangelina split:
Rumours that all is not well between the loved Brangelina started doing rounds after the newly weds were seen in a heated argument in Sydney in 2014. They were seen throwing hands up in the air with Angelina almost bursting into tears. However, these rumours died a slow death.
But now that the divorce is officially happening and there is no rumour this time, reports carrying reasons behind this are doing rounds of media. Reportedly, Angelina was miffed with Brad’s temper issues and his way of parenting. Apparently, Pitt was also in substance abuse and his wife Angelina thought it would be a negative impact on kids.
Not only this, Angelina reportedly hired a private detective to know if Brad is fooling around in sets or no. When Angelina got a whiff of Brad’s affairs (particularly the one with French actress Marion Cotillard); she decided it was the final straw.
The end of Brangelina:
The divorce of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has opened many questions, especially who will take what share in their massive property worth $400 million (Rs 2700 crore approximately) and who will have the kids’ custody? Reports have it that Angelina wants physical custody of all six kids, with visitation rights to Brad. As far as the property divide is concerned, both are too likely go for a behind the scenes settlement with as less noise as possible.
