if you haven’t heard, one of Hollywood’s A-list marriages recently came to an end. After being together for 12 years, and two years of marriage, Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from husband Brad Pitt over “irreconcilable differences”.
The start of their relationship can be labeled as controversial at best.
The couple first met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith while Pitt was still married to the beautiful Jennifer Aniston. It is believed that they fell in love during filming, and that was a catalyst for Pitt’s divorce from Aniston. For a relationship that started heavily in the spotlight, its end wouldn’t fly by unnoticed.
Even though it is very unfortunate to see the marriage reach an end, and we wish both actors the best, we always wanted to highlight how the fans reacted to the divorce.
For some, the news was just too much to handle.

While others reflected on the divorce and what it meant.
فضلت أعاير أمي وأقول إني مستنية برانجلينا يتبنوني والنهاردة بتشمت وتقولي كان زمانك متلطمة في محكمة الأسرة وبتشوفي أبوكي في حديقة الطفل بمحضر

“If #Brangelina couldn’t make it, what hope is there for us lesser mortals?”
Dude, there was no hope for you even if they’d been together.

While it’s safe to assume that Jennifer Ansiton probably couldn’t care less about the divorce, seeing as it was more than a decade ago that Pitt left her, the internet exploded with memes that included her as well.
Quite shocked to hear about #Brangelina I guess no one told you life was gonna be this way
*clap clap clap clap*

Some thought the whole ordeal was not something to joke about.
Sorry not to join all the gloating over #Brangelina. Divorce isn’t a punch line, esp. when there are 6 children whose world just caved in.

But at the end of it all, there was still a glimpse of hope.

In the end though, the only thing that matters is the well being of their family. Do not let celebrity breakups get you. Afterall, Hollywood marriage are not exaclty an example to follow.
