Not surprised at all. Actually, never care for selebs,but I have always felt awful for Jennifer Aniston. Hopefully, this means this whole nonsense will go away for good, and the poor woman can stop having her ex and her 'replacement' rubbed in her face.

diddl · 20/09/2016 16:29

I don't think that it's that surpprising.

They both seem like hard work!

Sad for the kids, of course.

I am just waiting for someone to come on here and say we shouldn't be discussing it, in case Angelina is a Mumsnetter who might be upset at the speculation on this thread about her marriage... Grin

facepalming · 20/09/2016 16:33

lelloteddy I know! I bet she can't wait to bump into Angelina at the next bash just so she can grin at her ..

Shocked it lasted so long. What goes around comes around. (Friends fan, will never forgive brad and still boycotting his films...)

BillSykesDog · 20/09/2016 16:39

Well it's a Hollywood marriage so obviously was never going to last, plus their careers are going down the pan. They're both so self absorbed I'm surprised it lasted this long.

I suspect it's going to get really nasty as she's going for sole custody and 'sources' say she thinks he is a bad parent and references drug and alcohol problems. The way it's presented seems to suggest that it's come from Angelina's 'people' or at least a source she has sanctioned. That smacks of a preemptive strike because she knows dirt on her is coming out.

There have been rumblings about hard drugs and eating disorders regarding her that I find very believable. Ditto rumours about her parenting style being along the 'Mommie Dearest' lines.

MunchMunch · 20/09/2016 16:40

Ah no! I was always Team Aniston until they seemed really settled together and like it was a marriage that could last (even in Hollywood!)

I haven't been on blind gossip in ages but I'll have to have a nose around again.

MunchMunch · 20/09/2016 16:41

Apparently it's confirmed now.

summercoldssuck · 20/09/2016 16:42

Apparently it is over his "parenting of the children"

Not aurei could care less but someone has text me to tell me - is odfod an appropriate response to the text?!

diddl · 20/09/2016 16:44

If it's over his parenting, I hope that it's a recent change then, because he's been parenting the youngest three their whole lives & the oldest three for most of theirs, hasn't he?

TheFormidableMrsC · 20/09/2016 16:47

Not surprised at all and I hope that Jennifer Aniston feels quietly smug.

AndYourBirdCanSing · 20/09/2016 16:47

So where would one find out about this 'dark rumour' about one of them? Wink

DontBuyANewMumCashmere · 20/09/2016 16:50

Re Cotillard rumour
apparently private detective found Pitt cheating on Jolie
The Friends episode where Rachel says "Once a cheater, always a cheater"... Grin

VeryBitchyRestingFace · 20/09/2016 16:51

You might be surprised, but Marion Cotillard (allegedly) won't be....

Tiens! What about Guillaume whassiface?? Shock

I can't believe she gave Fassbender the knock back but (allegedly) put out for Pitt. Angry

Birdsgottafly · 20/09/2016 16:56

""So where would one find out about this 'dark rumour'""

It's all over the Internet.

JA has had relationship after relationship and allegedly wants children, so she's got nothing to feel smug about really. She'd be very sad if she felt smug over a ten year marriage and six children, breaking down. If the rumours are true, she can count herself lucky that she didn't waste time on him.

AJ gets humanitarian crisis in News sources that the masses read, hopefully she won't let this get in the way.

BillSykesDog · 20/09/2016 16:58

She was giving interviews earlier this year about what an amazing father he was...

There have been a lot of rumours about how Brad is not on board with Shiloh's transition to John so I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

Apparently Brad Pitt's mother is not on board with it either and she has been publicly critical of gay marriage and pro Republican (pre-Trump) and there've been rumours that AJ has wanted to go NC and there have been tensions over that.

I have too much time on my hands....

BillSykesDog · 20/09/2016 17:02

Oh please AJ 'humanitarianism' has never been anything but a very thinly veiled vanity project for favourable publicity.

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 20/09/2016 17:06

The curse of H e l l o magazine strikes again?

hollyisalovelyname · 20/09/2016 17:07

If you marry a man who cheats on his wife ( with you) then you've married a man who cheats on his wife.
Awful.
I was gutted for Jen A.
All those children.
Playing happy families- NOT.
What is wrong with these people?
I'll be flamed but hey, I'm old fashioned and entitled to my opinion.
Celebs- time to make a bl**dy effort. Be responsible.There are children involved.
Non celebs too.

roshi42 · 20/09/2016 17:11

Ha! I knew someone would have posted this. The BBC alert popped up on my phone and I startled my office by audibly gasping, lol Shock I don't know why - it's not like I know these people! I do quite like her though.

Jennifer Anniston has said over and over again that she doesn't want to be dragged into endless media speculation about her past or present relationships, her fertility or her perceived bitterness or elation.

I feel sorry for all these people. Loving your life in the public eye must be incredibly difficult and hard on relationships.
