After 12 years together, Angelina Jolie[1] and Brad Pitt[2] are calling it quits[3].
The pair first started dating in 2004 and married in 2014. However, the actress decided to file for divorce[4] on Monday, E! News has confirmed. She cited irreconcilable differences and is seeking physical custody of their six kids, suggesting Pitt get visitation rights. She did not seek spousal support.
Of course, news of the split has taken the world by surprise considering the couple reigned as one of the most powerful in the world, continuously gushing[5] about their seemingly perfect romance to the public.
So what could have possibly gone wrong? While nothing has been confirmed just yet, several tabloids are claiming a couple different stories.
Cheating Rumors: The biggest speculation surrounds news that Brad was unfaithful to Angelina with his Allied co-star Marion Cotillard[6].
Page Six[7] reports Angelina hired a private investigator to spy on him on set, which led her to believe he'd been unfaithful.
A "well-placed" source told the publication, "She hired a private eye because she felt that he was fooling around with her on the set, and it turns out, he was. And that was the final straw."
However, at this time, a source tells E! News these rumors are not true. Cotillard's reps have yet to comment.

Bad Parenting: Other sources told TMZ[8] Angelina filed for divorce due to being upset over Brad's parenting methods[9], which is why she's asking for physical custody of the six children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Viviennne.
"Angelina will always do what's in the best interest of taking care of her family," her manager, Geyer Kosinski, also told E! News[10]. "She appreciates everyone's understanding of their need for privacy at this time."
Different Lifestyles: Another source tells E! News the pair have different ideas[11] about their future.
"They have gradually grown apart and have realized they value and prioritize different things, [and] these issues have got in the way of their marriage,"the insider told us. "Angelina is very dedicated to her work with the UN and working on other charitable endeavors while Brad is consumed with his film projects. Both of their interests have taken them across the world—not together bu t in different directions. They haven't been able to compromise on much of anything lately."
The source also noted, "Angelina hasn't been happy for some time."

It's Been a Drawn-Out Process: An insider tells E! News their split didn't happen all of a sudden and has actually been a "long time coming."
This makes sense, considering the rumors that began floating around earlier this year regarding their relationship.
In January, In Touch reported[12] the couple was "living separate lives" after a series of fights between them over the holidays. Then, in March, the publication reported matters only got worse due to a rift between Brangelina stemming from his work with Cotillard.
"The resentment has been eati ng away at Angelina," a source told the publication at the time. "She's prone to think that since she was once Brad's co-star and seduced him away from his wife, the same will happen to her."

It Hasn't Been Easy for Either of Them: A source tells E! News, though Angelina filed for the divorce, they are both struggling through it[13].
"It has been a very difficult time. It's been a very hard decision to make, but ultimately they both did the best they could to make the relationship work," the insider shared. "Both sides are hurting very deeply right now."
Another source added, "They were always very deeply in love, very passionate, ve ry intense and very romantic...They were a good partnership created from two very different personalities but they were bound together by this deep love. They had a joint mutual outlook on life and the strength of their family unit was at the center of it."
They Haven't Been Out Together in Two Months: The last time Brad and Angelina were seen out together was in mid-July while celebrating the twin's birthday at The Griddle Cafe.
Since May, the pair have only been photographed together[14] three times.
Brad Broke His Silence: He released a statement[15] about the divorce saying, "I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the wellbeing of our kids. I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time."
