It comes as a shock to many — though not all — that Angelina Jolie filed for divorce fromBrad Pitt. According to TMZ, their differences stemmed from their parenting styles, with a source saying Jolie became “extremely upset with his methods.” Their separation day was listed as last Thursday.

It’s been about two months since they were photographed together. They were at a Jamba Juice in Los Angeles on July 10 with their daughter Shiloh. The photo agency, which sold the photo, noted they looked “like a young teenage couple, showing their love is stronger than ever.” What a difference two months make.

Their last official outing was the premiere of their film By the Sea at the AFI Fest in Hollywood on Nov. 5. They were all smiles and touchy-feely there, having completed the movie, which Jolie, 41, wrote, directed, and they co-starred in, about a crumbling marriage.

Brad and Angelina started working on that film on their honeymoon. It was right after their super secret, intimate, family-centric wedding, which was planned by their six children, and took place at their French estate in August 2014 — 10 years after their relationship began on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith when he was still married to Jennifer Aniston. (It’s worth noting they were legally married in California prior to the family ceremony. That’s also where she filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.”)

Jolie, who was married twice prior to Pitt, talked about the challenging material in the film and the timing of the project (immediately following their wedding), admitting to Vogue in October, “Brad and I have our issues, but if the characters were even remotely close to our problems we couldn’t have made the film.”

However, working together wasn’t easy. She called the process “personal” and “very emotional” in an interview with E! News, adding, “Even though none of their problems are our problems, we still have our fights. When his voices raises it affects me.”

Pitt, 52, agreed, saying that there was “no way you can’t get a little riled up” in that type of work environment. However, he felt confident with his wife at the helm of the project, tellingV magazine, “It’s surprising how much I enjoy the direction of my wife. She’s decisive, incredibly intuitive, and might I say sexy at her post. I trust her with my life.”

The trust between them seemed apparent during a rare joint interview with Tom Brokaw for the Today show in October. In it, Jolie got candid talking about how Pitt helped her through her elective double mastectomy in 2013 and ovary removal a few years later.

“I knew through the surgeries that he was on my side and that this wasn’t something where I was going to feel less of a woman. Because my husband wasn’t going to let that happen,” said Jolie, who lost her mother (and aunt) to cancer, and didn’t want her children to go through the same thing.
