Has Brad split from Angelina?

Has Brad split from Angelina?

April 06, 2006 This article from : News Interactive HOLLYWOOD'S hottest couple has reportedly split.

Brad Pitt is said to have walked out on his 7½-month pregnant girlfriend Angelina Jolie.

Several reports late yesterday claimed the unbearably beautiful couple, nicknamed Brangelina, had been fighting incessantly over the impending birth of their first child.

Earlier, several Hollywood sources claimed Pitt had been sleeping on the couch in the couple's $US50,000-a-month French apartment.

Tabloids have been reporting for weeks that the relationship is in trouble with the couple barely photographed together anymore.

Pitt, 42, is said to be under pressure from his family to get Jolie to the altar, as soon as possible as Pitt's mother Jane is not keen on her grandchild being born out of wedlock.

But Jolie, 30, is not committing to a date, and her refusal to begin planning a wedding is the main reason behind the trouble.

"Brad and Ange have been fighting like cat and dog over where to have the baby, over whether Angelina should continue to fly and also over her thinness," one source told NW magazine.

The couple met during the filming of Mr & Mrs Smith while Pitt was married to former Friends star Jennifer Aniston. He and Aniston divorced last year after seven years of marriage and Pitt began a high-profile relationship with Jolie a short time later.

Isn't Brad Pitt a Kansas farm boy?

Brad is from Springfield Missouri. I believe his parents still live in Springfield.

How can one fight over the birth of a child? Either it is to be born or it's not. But then, maybe they are fighting about what colors the child will see first. Or maybe, just maybe, Brad wants to be the first thing the child sees. He's just so pretty, and he thinks so too...

Namibia: Angelina and Brad slip into Namibia

April 5, 2006, 20 minutes and 47 seconds ago.

By Andnetwork .com

Mega stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt arrived in Namibia at the crack of dawn.

As far as The Namibian was able to establish last night, the couple have reportedly brought their two children - Maddox and Zahara - with them.

It is unclear how long they will stay in Namibia, or what the family's plans are while they are here.

At the weekend, wire reports emanating from overseas speculated that Jolie, who is pregnant with Pitt's child, was coming to have her baby in Namibia.

Alternative reports have suggested that the family is just on a visit.

Both stars value their privacy and are very protective of their children.

The Namibian Broadcasting Corporation radio news yesterday quoted immigration officials confirming that the Jolie-Pitt family had arrived at Walvis Bay at around 06h30.

Sources in Europe earlier told The Namibian that the couple had flown out of Le Bourget airport in Paris in a private jet on Monday night - believed to be headed for Namibia.

Jolie is no stranger to Namibia.

The Oscar-winning actress spent time in the country in 2002 during the filming of the international feature movie on refugees, 'Beyond Borders', at Swakopmund.

Namibia is believed to hold particularly fond memories for Jolie.

It was here that she took legal custody of her adopted Cambodian son, Maddox, in March 2002.

At that time he was seven-and-a-half months old.

Last year Jolie adopted a little Ethiopian girl, Zahara, an orphan.

ACTIVE FOR AFRICA

It is not known if Pitt has previously visited Namibia.

However, he has visited South Africa and Ethiopia, and shares Jolie's humanitarian concerns.

The couple are said to have fallen in love with Africa.

Much of the focus of their humanitarian commitment is directed at the continent, as well as Asia.

In 2001, Jolie was asked by the United Nations High Commission to become its Goodwill Ambassador.

She has also been awarded the UN Correspondents Association's Citizen of the World Award, which was presented to her by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.

In addition to Namibia's Osire refugee camp, Jolie is reported to have visited refugee camps in Tanzania, Congo, Thailand, Ecuador, Sri Lanka, Kosovo and Ingushetia.

Pitt and Jolie also constantly advocate the plight of refugees and those caught up in conflict on the world stage.

SPACE 'RESPECTED'

In an interview with The Namibian when the actress left Namibia after shooting 'Beyond Borders', the producer, Lloyd Phillips, quoted Jolie as saying she had had a great time in the country.

Phillips said Jolie had felt very comfortable in Namibia "as people respected her space completely".

He said Jolie and her two co-stars, Clive Owen and Noah Emmerich had felt very connected to the country.

Although Jolie was rarely seen in public, many of the crew members and extras who worked with her or interacted with her on the movie set commented on how open and accessible she was.

She was not fussy about the food she ate, she made a point of greeting people on the set and played with the extras' children between shoots.

Jolie also made a special effort to thank all the people she worked with during the last week of filming.

So Freepers can feel morally superior, throw stones, and make snide comments.

You forgot that we love to post pictures of car accidents as members of FRIPW

Thanks for the post. Brad is just not, "...COMPLETELY, respecting her space," as the Namibia people do...

I don't believe any rumors until the couple makes a joint statement they are through, lol! Honestly, I suspect they are fine, but will eventually split like all other celebrity relationships.

Dudes chill.

If you didnt notice....there are lots of subforums on this site.

Find one you like and avoid the ones you dont.


Ever seen an evo thread? Sometimes I wonder why they are on Fr too. But they are becuase people are different and people enjoy discussing different things.

I once dated a girl that had Angelina's lips, she's somewhat pretty - but that doesn't speak to her person.

Quote: "Brad left Jennifer"
Really?

Fact: Jan 2005 "Jennifer" filed for separation and the couple
officially stated via their reps that the separation "has nothing to do with what is in print and it has nothing to do with a third party."

Fact: During the Separation Jan 2005 to Mar 2005 the couple (Brad and Jen) have been seen having dinner at romantic spots and she was sleeping over his hotel. It was said they were trying to salvage the marriage.

Fact: Feb 2005 Brad threw a big birthday party for Jen. The press asked Brad if there would be a divorce coming and he said "NO". However later in Feb one of Jen's friends said "there would be no reconcilliation."

Fact: End of March 2005 "Jen" filed for divorce.

Fact: April 2005 after Brad was spotted with Angelina playing with her kids the press once again asked Jen if Brad had cheated on her. She said in magazine that "she chooses to beleive her husband. Her husband had stated that WHILE THEY WERE MARRIED (prior to separation/divorce--it's not clear what those two (brad/jen) had in mind when saying this) he never cheated on his wife."

Now some people consider marriage as that until the divorce is finalized. Apparently Brad/Jen define their being married as all the time before either the separation or the filing of the divorce.

One thing you will notice a lot "in Hollywood" is that many actors start dating "after the separation" and certainly "after the divorce was first filed" and not a single tabloid cared a damn about this. However in this case "Hollywood land", they have said this before, they consider "Brad and Jen" The GOLDEN Couple that all people should look up to--to set the standard for all Hollywood marriages. In the real world we call it considering them the reigning king and queen of the prom.

That is why THEIR marriage was more talked about in tabloids more so then any other couple ever. The fact is tabloids made a bunch off of this couple's break up more so then many a story and yes they have said that. The money is only made because there are lots of people interested in that subject. Beats me. I don't consider those two anymore different then another other Hollywood couple. Like others of my time I watched Friends.

First time Brad and Jen got married they (the tabloids and celebrities) made such a big deal about oh look "they (Brad and Jen) hit their "one" year anniversary." "Oh look at them at this xx function. Aren't they SO darling?"--mush mush. It was getting to be so sacharrine that seeing those kinds of titles on headlines was actually making me sick. Hey in the real world people are married a lot longer than that before people think it's worthy to mention.
