People continue to react
to reports that Hollywood actor Angelina Jolie has
asked her
husband, actor Brad Pitt, for a divorce. The move appears
to end their marriage and a relationship that some media have called
“Brangelina.” Jolie and Pitt were among the most powerful married couples in
America’s show
business industry. On Monday in Los Angeles, Jolie filed
legal
documents to end their marriage. Jolie is also seeking
rights to raise the couple’s six children. Jolie’s lawyer said Tuesday that her
decision to divorce was made “for the health of the family.” Jolie and Pitt were
together for 12 years and married two years ago, in August 2014. They became
close while filming the 2005 movie, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith." That
led to
widespread reports in the
media that Jolie led to Pitt’s divorce from Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston.
Pitt and Jolie denied
that.

Aniston and Pitt announced their
separation in early 2005.
Pitt’s divorce from Aniston, and his relationship with Jolie, became one of the
most talked-about stories in Hollywood. Many people reacted to the end of
Brangelina on social media. Some used GIFs of Jennifer Aniston. They
made
predictions about what Aniston’s reaction to the news might
be. One person called September 20 “Jennifer Aniston Meme Day.” British singer
Adele reportedly was deeply saddened by what seemed to
be the end of Brangelina. She decided to dedicate her show in New
York City Tuesday night to Jolie and Pitt. Later,
Madame Tussaud’s museum in London announced on Twitter that it had
officially separated its
wax statues of Jolie and
Pitt.
