BRAD Pitt has released a statement following news of his divorce
The 52-year-old father-of-six said: “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.”
Brad Pitt went on in the statement released to PEOPLE : “I think when a couple faces a difficult trial in life together, whatever that may be, it either tears you apart or brings you together.”
The pair have been married for two years, but have been together as a couple for 12 years after getting together on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith.
Brad was with Friends actress Jennifer Aniston at the time.
The Oscar-winning actress released her own statement via her attorney which said: “This decision was made for the health of the family.
“She will not be commenting at this time, and asks that the family be given their privacy during this difficult time.”
The Changeling star has also asked for physical custody of their six children together – Maddox, 15, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, Pax, 12 and eight-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne.
