But what we all did not know was,Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may have had the ultimate Hollywood romance from the outside, but behind closed doors, their marriage was slowly coming apart.
After months of mounting tensions between the two, Jolie, 41, told Pitt she wanted a divorce, an end to their two-year marriage and 12-year relationship.
"Things built and built over time – it wasn't any one thing," a source close to the actress tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story, on newsstands Friday. "She's loved this man for several years, and [divorce] is not something you do impulsively."
Meanwhile, a Pitt source tells PEOPLE: "There was clearly a breaking point, where she'd just had enough," says the Pitt source. "He may have been broken himself and said he couldn't go on, and she reacted. This has been difficult for a while."
In the cover story, sources detail how Jolie told Pitt she wanted a divorce, why he "begged" her to wait and how their relationship began to crumble after their 2014 wedding. They faced increasing differences over parenting styles (with Brad taking a "stricter approach versus Angelina’s "more relaxed attitude," according to another insider), the direction of their careers and more.

"He was appealing to her to do this quietly – not to save the marriage but to consider the well-being of the children – and it was ignored," says the Pitt source. But Jolie – who said in a statement the decision was "for the health of her family" – did "what she needed to do," says a source close to her.
Still, both sides say Pitt and Jolie still love each other and expect them to find a way to "move forward in a dignified way," as a Pitt source puts it. Says a Jolie source: "They have six kids together and are always going to be in each other's lives."
"I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids," Brad told People magazine.
"I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time."
Jolie, 41, filed for divorce from Pitt, 52, citing irreconcilable differences on Monday.
Her lawyer, Robert Offer, said the decision had been made "for the health of the family".
But it doesn't all end there,it would not be a Hollywood story if it does would it?Somebody else has been dragged into the equation.Actress Marion Cotillard.
It has been rumoured that Marion and Brad were having an affair and she could have been the reason for the Brad and Angelina split.
The revelations has forced the actress to come forward and deny the rumours.Marion Cotillard revealed she is pregnant with her second child but vehemently denies having an affair with Brad Pitt .
Cotillard, 40, wrote a lengthy Instagram message to make the announcement and to dispel rumours on Wednesday.
'This is going to be my first and only reaction to the whirlwind news that broke 24 hours ago and that I was swept up into,' the actress began, addressing reports she and Pitt had sparked a romance during the filming of their new WWII drama Allied.
'I am not used to commenting on things like this nor taking them seriously,' she continued, 'but as this situation is spiraling and affecting people I love, I have to speak up'.
She went on to confirm that her partner of eight years Guillaume Canet is the father of her unborn child.
'Firstly, many years ago, I met the man of my life, father of our son and of the baby we are expecting. He is my love, my best friend, the only one that I need.'
'Secondly to those who have indicated that I am devastated, I am very well thank you. This crafted conversation isn't distressing.
A source told PageSix that Jolie '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'.
Cotillard went on: 'And to all the media and the haters who are quick to pass judgment, I sincerely wish you a swift recovery.'
She concluded her message by wishing Brad and Angelina Jolie well.
'Finally, I do very much wish that Angelina and Brad, both whom I deeply respect, will find peace in this very tumultuous moment. With all my love, Marion'.
I guess the electric chemistry of the Brad Pitt Marion Cotillard Allied film did not help things,and as usual people have added 2 and 2 and came up with 2000,or have they?
It would be interesting to see what develops in Brad Pitt Angelina Jolie latest news as the days goes by,cos you can be sure we have not heard the last of this episode,you can bet this is one movie that will run and run with different versions released.

Angelina adopts Maddox
Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie became a mum for the first time when she adopted a baby boy from Cambodia in March 2002. Originally named Rath Vibol, Angelina re-named her adopted son Maddox Chivan after she adopted him from his orphanage in Battambang, Cambodia. Although Angelina was married to fellow actor Billy Bob Thornton at the time and they announced the adoption news together, Angelina formally adopted Maddox as a single parent. The couple split three months after the adoption was finalised.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Biography.
Angelina was a single mum for 3 years and then in 2005, on the film set of Mr & Mrs Smith in 2005, rumours started circulating about Angelina forming a close relationship with Brad Pitt - who was married to Friends actress Jennifer Aniston at the time. Following Brad’s divorce to Jennifer and his relationship with Angelina going public, the Hollywood power couple ‘Brangelina’ brand was born.
Angelina (and not Brad initially) adopts Zahara.
In 2005, Angelina decided to adopt her second child, an Ethiopian girl named Zahara. The baby girl was born on January 8, 2005, and adopted by Angelina when she six months old. Angelina first met Zahara (who was named Yemsrach by her birth mother and then changed to Tena Adam by the orphange) at the Wide Horizons For Children orphanage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and applied for adoption. There was a slight set back after Zahara was brought home to the US, as her birth mother, who they thought had died during childbirth, surfaced, saying she had Zahara put in the orphanage because she was too poor to look after her. However, she later retracted her claims and gave her blessing for the adoption.
Although Angelina's relationship with Brad was now public, Angelina adopted Zahara as a single parent (even though Brad was present at the paper signing and she has hinted that the adoption was a joint decision with Brad). In January 2006, Brad officially adopted Angelina's two children Maddox and Zahara and their surnames were changed to Jolie-Pitt.
Angelina and Brad have Shiloh.
Already nicknamed the 'rainbow family', Brad and Angelina announced that they were expecting their first biological child together soon after Brad's adoption of Maddox and Zahara was finalised. Angelina gave birth to a daughter they named Shiloh Nouvel on May 27, 2006, in Swakopmund, Namibia. The arrival of the first Jolie-Pitt biological child caused an excited flurry with fans, all wondering what the baby would look like due to their reputation as the world's most attractive parents. The first pictures of Shiloh were allegedly sold for $4 million to American magazine, People, and for $3.5 million to the UK's magazine, Hello! The picture fees were donated to an undisclosed charity of Brad and Angelina's choice.
Shiloh has her own waxwork in Madame Tussauds, New York from when she was 2 months old – the first celeb baby to be re-created in wax.
Shiloh has grown up as a tomboy, despite her glamorous mum and girly sister Zahara. After insisting that her family call her John, Shiloh likes to wear boys' clothes - with dad Brad recently splashing out $10,000 on boys clothes for her - and demanded a soldier themed birthday party just like her brothers.
Angelina and Brad adopt Pax
In March 2007, Angelina and Brad announced they were adopting a 3-year-old Vietnamese boy named Pax Thien. Pax was born in November 2003 and lived in the Tam Binh orphange in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. His name means 'Peaceful Sky' with Pax meaning peace in Latin and Thien being sky in Vietnamese, although his original birth name was Pham Quang Sang. It's believed that the name Pax was suggested to Angelina by her mother, just before she passed away.
Angelina and Brad have Knox and Vivienne
Angelina revealed her second pregnancy during the Cannes Film Festival in 2008, by gliding down the red carpet with a burgeoning baby bump. The couple confirmed later that they were expecting twins and they arrived into the world on July 12, 2008 at the Lenval hospital in Nice, France. The boy and girl twins were named Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline (in honour of Angelina's mum Marcheline Bertrand who died in 2007).
The first photos of the twins were reported to have been sold for $14 million – the most expensive celebrity baby pictures at the time Again, the fees were donated to charity - this time to the Jolie/Pitt Foundation.
Soon after, a series of photographs taken by Brad of Angelina appeared in America's W magazine. They featured black and white portraits of the Jolie-Pitt family, as well as one of Angelina seemingly breastfeeding. And talking of breastfeeding, there was also a statue of Angelina made by artist Daniel Edwards, showing Angelina breastfeeding her twins.
The pair married in France in 2014, with Maddox and Pax walking them down the aisle, Zahara and Vivienne as flower girls and Shiloh and Knox as ring bearers.
The A list couple are constantly the subject of rumours. Over the years, Angelina has been reportedly pregnant or planning child No 7 many times over. Angelina has six sets of geographical coordinates tattooed on her upper left arm showing the birth places of all her children. When she got a seventh tattoo, it sparked rumours that she was planning to adopt again.
