Jolie filed for divorce on Monday after two years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple had been in a courtship of 10 years before tying the knot in 2014.
Sources said Jolie took the decision because she wasn't happy with Pitt's parenting ways.
Her attorney stated, "This decision was made for the health of the family," the actress' attorney said. "She will not be commenting at this time, and asks that the family be given their privacy during this difficult time."
In his statement, Pitt said, "I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids. I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time."
"Both Pitt, 52, and Jolie care very much about their kids and there is sadness on both sides," a source close to the situation said.
