SOMEHOW, WE THOUGHT it might have been happily ever after for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, but the news of the end of their 12-year romance (they met on the set of the film Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2003 and began dating in 2004) has been confirmed today. Jolie has filed for divorce from Pitt citing irreconcilable differences, seeking physical custody of their six children (with joint legal custody) and not asking for spousal support. The couple were married in August two years ago. Here are a few favourite photos of Brad+Angie in happier times . . .
