Brad & Angelina to split - so rumour has it

January 25, 2010 11:20am CST
If you have seen any of the newspapers today as well as a few entertainment websites there is much speculation that Brad & Angelina are on the verge of splitting, not divorced as some have quoted as they never did get married. The rumours say that for a while now they have been living seperate lives and things came to ahead a few weeks back with Brad telling Angelina she needed Psychiatric help. Since then they have been rumoured to be consulting lawyers to sort out the arrangements of the split. So who thinks these rumours are true, and more interesting will Pitt return to Aniston who has often said she still loves Brad?

I read yesterday that an unnamed person close to them said that the rumor isn't true. IMO, they deserve each other. You rebuild as many cities as you like and you can adopt as many children as you like but that doesn't make up for a lack of personal ethics and I don't think that either one of them possesses a set of ethical standards that they can be proud of. In terms of Jen, by taking the high road during the break up, she demonstrated what a strong character she has. Someone with such a strong character doesn't deserve Brad Pitt who has no character at all. Pitt and Jolie deserve each other but a break up wouldn't surprise me as neither one of them seems to have a track record of lasting relationships.

Hi LaurenInLA many thanks for your response. There certainly does seem to be a feeling that they deserve each other but then I have a feeling that what we all see of them is highly staged and I wonder what they are like as real people away from the limelight. After more revelations revealed in the press today I would be even less surprised if they do break up.

The rumors about Brad and Angelina not doing so well have been around since last summer or so. I'm not sure if the rumors about them actually splitting now are real, but I hope not- for the kids sake. They have so many kids, and have been criticiized for it so much. I think they are so self-less to take give a home to exsisting kids that have no where else to go. If they do break up, everyone is going to criticize them even more heavily about the kids [even though they don't even know what kind of parents Brad and Angelina actually are].

Hi olisaur and many thanks for your contribution. You are right rumours have been circulating for a year or so but these seem to be new ones focusing on a huge row a month ago and that they are reported to have visited lawyers to draw up papers over their split. I think it's this new gossip which has reignited the interest along with several major UK newspapers, not gossip sheets, actually running with the story discovering their own information. I do feel sorry for the kids in all this because it brings into the ugly spotlight whether they should have adopted so many children, despite them being orphans.

I haven't seen the news of that today but I don't usually believe that stuff till the people themselves confirm it. One day I'm reading they are splitting up, the next time I'm reading that she said they are talking about having more children. They have been photographed a few times recently all together as a family. I don't think Pitt will return to Aniston if they ever did break up. I think she has more self respect then that to take him back.

Hi ravinskye and many thanks for joining in. Usually I don't pay attention to rumours such as these but the story has been picked up by some respectable newspapers in the UK who have printed articles which are laced with facts rather than just gossip. So for once I actually believe there is some truth to all this.

I know, some say they've split but then some sources claim it's not true so it's hard telling what the truth really is. I know they didn't attend the Golden Globes "because Brad wasn't nominated" which I found strange. I DO know that since they have six children, a huge charitable foundation they founded together, several hones around the world and LOTS and LOTS of money so a split between them won't be any easier since they never bothered to get married! As far as Pitt returning to Jen, I'll put it this way...he and Angelina have done great things together, they're two terrific humanitarians and nobody can really know what goes on in other people's personal relationships but if I were Jen I'd tell him where to go in no uncertain terms!

I'd have to say there probably is some truth. The last time I said to myself that those gossip magazines were completely false was when Pitt and Aniston were divorcing. I didn't believe it for a second... but then they did. Since then I don't often doubt the gossip I hear around Hollywood. I thought Pitt and Aniston were a great couple, and would probably work again, if it weren't for the fact that he cheated on her. If she forgives him for what happened I'll lose a bit of respect for her. She's a strong woman that doesn't need to take a cheating jerk back into her life! But it seems she is getting a little desperate, especially after the relationship with John Mayer... how low can you go?

I would normally be sceptical of any celeb gossip except that this has been picked up by several major UK newspapers running double page stories on the rumoured split with various resources saying that they've already consulted lawyers and Brad having bought a new place to live. They provide so many facts and are not known to run gossip without some sort of foundation I can't but think this is more than a rumour.

hi there! i think the news about their split up is just a rumor because they seem happy whenever they are together with their kids. however, i have always wanted jen for brad but sadly, things didn't work out well for them. but who knows what will happen tomorrow...all things are really possible.

The trouble is we only ever see the public side of them, the one behind the makeup and prepared photo shoots when they walk through the airport and know cameras will be on them. So we never really know what they are like behind the scenes and when something comes out which says life's not all happiness we say it's just idle gossip. The thing is this time there are a few UK newspapers, not those who run mindless gossip, who have run feature articles on this split with new evidence to say it's happening. Because these are the sorts of papers which only print stuff with foundation I can't but help feel there is something in this.

It is not true: Rumor like all gossips starts form boring life of media reporters. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20339066,00.html

Hi polachicago I tend to agree that the majority of these stories are started without any foundation by talentless boring reporters. But as I have mentioned to others above, some major UK newspapers have published double page articles on this and they are not the sort of ones to publish unfounded gossip. They seem to have been doing their own investigations rather than recycling just hear say so I just have a feeling that this time there may be something more to this.

Their kids are cute, no matter what.. both adopted and their real children, that is. There seems to be news about their break-up not long after they are in a relationship. I think they are fabulous together.. and will never believe these rumors. I do adore Jen Aniston by the way.. she's like a beautiful person, in and out.

if the rumors aren't true yet it is bound to be. that relationship didn't receive any blessings from anyone and much worse that relationship started out in a bad way with both brad and angelina wrecking havoc to a marriage and hurting a woman who hadn't hurt anyone in her life. know the saying, "i told you so?" imagine the tone of that sentence with me saying..."now, what on earth are they going to do with those 6 kids?" for sure they need to put and beef up psychiatrists' or psychologists' fees in their budget.

I hope that they do split. I hate angenlina jolie. I think she is just abnoxious. The only sad thing is the 7 kids that they have in their lives. I mean in the real world, people who are not married are not likely to be able to adopt children. How sad for those kids

I ignore all news about Brad and Angelina. One week they are splitting up, the next they are having another baby, then one is cheating, blah, blah, blah...it's all bs to me.

There are rumors all the time that they are splitting up. I don't pay much attention to the entertainment "new". If they do split, which will probably not be long, I don't think he will go back to Anniston. Not for good anyway. He might go back to her for a little while and then leave her again. She would be nuts to take him back!

It is so hard to tell if any of this is true or if the magazines like US Weekly are just trying to make a buck off of the personal life of these two. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are definitely locked together via their children whichever way this relationship goes. Their life must be very busy with their six children they have had in such a short period of time.

I really liked the Brad and Angelina pair, so it would be such a shame...I think, it has come to point where Brad no longer finds Angelina's impulsiveness a curiosity and fascination as the dream is now over and he has woken up. But they did look so good together and seemingly more equal, with Jennifer...I don't know, it just seemed a bit strange when they were together, to me, they didn't really 'match' up, as if they were from different leagues, not that one is beter than the other, but just from different worlds and not really 'compatible' - well, that just how I feel...

I haven't heard anything about them splitting up. I don't know if it's true or not. It thought they really liked each other but it wouldn't surprise me if they did cause so many celebrities end up splitting up. I would hate it for their children though. I guess we will just wait and see what happens with them.

They never thought their relationship was worth actual commitment, although they adopted more children, so if they are splitting, it's no surprise. There are important things to worry about in the world - they don't come close to qualifying.

There was rumors the world would end last year, this year, and the movie 2012 also seems a rumor. Until it happens.. it's all hear-say and womens magazines sales.

Whoa--sounds like an old story I've heard before. They get together and split, on and on. There's a lot of that in Hollywood. Two strong personalities living together under one roof will surely cause fire anywhere. I do not wonder about Brad P. and Angelina J. splitting up. It always ends that way. Relationships today are only made of straw. It is hard to find one that is strong, real, and lasting.

I have seen this on twitter. And it really shocked me. I hope it's not rue for the sake of their family and their children. I think that they should really work it out.
