That’s right, one of the most popular Hollywood coupes of all time has called it quits. TMZ is reporting that Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from her husband of two years, actor Brad Pitt.

A source close to the couple tells TMZ that there was no third person involved, and Jolie is filed “solely over Brad’s interaction with their children.”

Ouch.

The couple began dating in 2012 and has six children together. Jolie is requesting physical custody of their kids and asking that Pitt get visitation privileges.

As if this news weren’t shocking enough for fans of the couple and their longtime love, it is being reported that there was a minor earthquake in Los Angeles right after the news broke.

Pitt was everyone’s forever 90s crush. Before he married ex-wife Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie, he was romantically linked to Robin Givens, Naomi Campbell and Thandie Newton.
