Hollywood power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt is no more.
Oscar-winning actress and director Jolie, who is also a special envoy for the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), has filed for divorce from actor and producer Pitt, according to Robert Offer, lawyer for Jolie.
Offer said the decision was made "for the health of the family."
Jolie and Pitt, referred to in entertainment media as Brangelina, have six children: Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax, Vivienne and Knox.
The two met on the set of the 2004 film Mr. and Mrs. Smith — an action comedy in which they starred as married assassins working for rival agencies — and officially became a couple in 2005.
After about a decade together, the pair married in August 2014.
Most recently, the two starred as a troubled married couple in 2015's By the Sea, which Jolie directed.
Jolie was previously married to actor Billy Bob Thornton and, earlier, actor Johnny Lee Miller. Pitt was previously married to actress Jennifer Aniston.
Jolie and Pitt's relationship was one of contemporary Hollywood's most high-profile, tabloid-covered pairings.
Myriad articles debated whether they first hooked up while he was still married to Aniston, media around the world reported on the births of the globe-trotting couple's children (Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne) and their adoptions (Maddox, Zahara and Pax), while their alleged marital spats were regular fodder in U.S. tabloids.
In recent years, Jolie has balanced her filmmaking with various causes, including working with the UN to highlight the plight of refugees and for increased awareness of breast and ovarian cancer, after her revelation that she'd undergone a preventative double mastectomy (and, later, further preventative surgery).
