Brad and Angelina: The perfect couple are at breaking point
Brad and Angelina
Rumours are flying around Hollywood that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are on the brink of ending their relationship.
The couple, who have only recently been pictured together for the first time since February are allegedly about to begin relationship counselling after a number of serious arguments.
Although Angelina initially suggested a separation, offering Brad £60 million for full custody of their six children, Maddox, 7, Pax, 5, Zahara, 4, Shiloh, 2, and nine-month-old twins Vivienne and Knox, the actress has now agreed to seek professional help to save their relationship.
According to a source close to the couple, the difficulties started due to Angelina’s hectic schedule and lack of commitment to their family, leaving Brad, 45, feeling like a single parent.
The situation was aggravated after Angelina, 33, who has been bogged down filming, Salt in New York, refused to spend Easter weekend with Brad’s parents.
Insiders say that it pushed Brad over the edge, so he fled to their chateau in south of France to clear his head.
Back in March, the pair were said to be rowing after Ange allegedly fired the twins nanny, after she returned home to find Brad comforting her in a bedroom.
He insisted, the nanny was feeling unwell and he was simply checking she was ok, but Angelina remained unhappy.
To add to their problems, Jolie’s half brother, James, who she memorably kissed on the lips in 2000, has been staying with the pair at their £40 million mansion.
A friend of the Tomb Raider actress said the siblings are very close and revealed that James doesn’t think Brad is taking care of his sister and has urged her to get out of the relationship.
The insider added: “Brad was furious when James moved in. They’ve always had a strained relationship.”
The couple’s appointment with the therapist, who is one of the best in the US, is not for a while yet, but they have been advised to try allocating some time to spend together as a family.
But after the time Brad has spent away in France, the pair are said to feel hopeful and determined to save their relationship.

I think Brad should just leave Angelina and take Shiloh along with the twins and maybe one day get back with Jennifer. I still think after all this time apart they would be happy together and she wants kids to, who knows maybe they can have kids of their own….
