AceShowbiz - Angelina Jolie has opened up about her split from Brad Pitt, revealing she left the actor for the "well-being" of her six kids.
The couple ended its two-year marriage in 2016 and later agreed on a custody deal, but neither Brad nor Angelina have spoken about the issues that led to the break-up.
Now, Oscar winner Jolie tells Vogue she walked away for the sake of her children.
"I separated for the well-being of my family," the "Maleficent" star says. "It was the right decision. I continue to focus on their healing."
"Some have taken advantage of my silence, and the children see lies about themselves in the media, but I remind them that they know their own truth and their own minds."
Jolie admits she's tremendously proud of her kids, who range in age from 11 to 18, for accepting her decision and moving on, calling them, "six very brave, very strong young people."
Angelina was already mum to son Maddox and daughter Zahara when she started dating Pitt in 2005. The actor later adopted the pair and he and Jolie went on to welcome four more children - Pax, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox.
