Jolie files for divorce from Pitt
—
The pair adopted children
from Cambodia, Vietnam and
Ethiopia. In 2006, they formed
the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, to
which they funneled many of the
millions they made selling per-
sonal pictures to celebrity maga-
zines.

NEW YORK — Angelina Jo-
lie Pitt has filed for divorce from
Brad Pitt, bringing an end to
what began as the world’s most
tabloid headline-generating ro-
mance before morphing into a
glamorous engine of family and
philanthropy.
Jolie Pitt, 41, cited “irrecon-
cilable difference” in divorce pa-
pers filed Monday in Los Ange-
les. She is seeking physical cus-
tody of their six children, with
visitation rights for Pitt.
An attorney for Jolie Pitt,
Robert Offer, said Tuesday that
her decision to divorce was
made “for the health of the fami-
ly.” The filing dated the couple’s
separation to last Thursday.
“I am very saddened by this,
but what matters most now is
the wellbeing of our kids. I kind-
ly ask the press to give them the
space they deserve during this
challenging time,” Pitt said in a
statement to People.
Mark Vincent Kaplan, a vet-
eran divorce attorney who was
Kevin Federline’s attorney in his
divorce from Britney Spears and
has handled several high-profile
cases, reviewed the filing at the
AP’s request.
“There is no indication on the
face of the petition filed by Ms.
Jolie that there is a prenuptial
agreement, or that if there is a
prenup, she is asking the court
to consider whether or not to in-
validate it,” said Kaplan.
Though together for 12 years,
Pitt and Jolie Pitt — known as
“Brangelina” — only wed in Au-
gust 2014. They married private-
ly at their French chateau in the
Provence hamlet of Correns
with their children serving as

Jolie Pitt, who became spe-
cial envoy for the United Na-
tions in 2012, became an outspo-
ken voice for refugees, as well as
for breast cancer treatment after
undergoing a double mastecto-
my herself. Pitt built homes in
New Orleans for victims of Hur-
ricane Katrina.
Jolie Pitt also launched her-
self as a film director. Last year,
the couple starred together in
her By the Sea, playing a glam-
orous couple vacationing to-
gether in France while their
marriage was on the rocks. It
made a mere $538,000 at the
box office domestically.
In a 2014 interview with The
Associated Press, Jolie Pitt said
playing a couple with marital
problems was cathartic.
“It almost makes you get past
those issues because you can
laugh at them,” Jolie Pitt said.
“You do a film about bad mar-
riage and you witness that be-
havior. You study it, you let it out,
you attack each other and then
you just want to hold each other
and make sure you never behave
that way.”
Jolie Pitt earlier this year fin-
ished shooting her fourth fea-
ture as director, First They
Killed My Father. The film,
about the 1970s Khmer Rouge
regime, was shot in Cambodia.
The pair was seen publicly
together as recently as July,
when they were spotted taking
their twins to breakfast in Los
Angeles.

Clinton sticks with
regular approach
?■
Clinton could possibly lose. Re-
cent polls suggest the Republi-
can may have an edge in Iowa
and Ohio and is likely in a close
race with Clinton in Florida and
North Carolina.
“This guy is not qualified to
be president,” Obama told do-
nors at a Manhattan fundraiser
on Sunday. “This should not be a
close election, but it will be.”
Clinton’s campaign, Demo-
crats say, has little choice but to
stick with its plan. The always-
measured Clinton, they argue,
can’t out-improvise one of the
most unpredictable politicians
of the modem era.
“We’re going through the
roller-coaster rides of cam-
paigns. All she can do is just
keep plowing ahead,” said Steve
Schale, a Democratic strategist
who ran Obama’s Florida opera-
tion in 2008 and advised him
four years later. “She’s going to
win it by grinding it out.”
Hoping to calm some sup-
porters’ concerns, Clinton’s cam-
paign sent out a memo Monday,
reminding them that the elec-
toral map favors Democrats.
The memo charted various
paths to 270 electoral votes and
urged backers to channel their
worry into volunteering.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -
For months, Democrats argued
that voters would get “serious”
about the campaign once it
reached the fall and would reject
Donald Trump’s no-holds-
barred approach.
They’re still waiting.
With fewer than 50 days left,
polling shows a tightening na-
tional race and — most unnerv-
ing to Democrats — a Trump
rise in key battleground states.
But as Tmmp’s provocative ap-
peal gains traction, Hillary Clin-
ton is sticking with the tradition-
al playbook: Lots of attack ads, a
focus on getting out the vote and
intense preparation for next
week’s first general election de-
bate.

ring bearers and throwing flow-
er petals. They announced the
ceremony days later.
Their children are: 15-year-
old Maddox, 12-year-old Pax, 11-
year-old Zahara, 10-year-old
Shiloh, and 8-year-old twins
Knox and Vivienne.
This is the second marriage
for Pitt, 52, who previously wed
Jennifer Aniston. It’s the third
for Jolie Pitt, who was previously
married to Billy Bob Thornton
and Jonny Lee Miller.
Their
and Jolie became close while
filming 2005’s Mr. & Mrs.
Smith, prompting widespread
speculation — consistently de-
nied by the couple — that Jolie
prompted Pitt’s divorce from
Aniston. Pitt and Aniston an-
nounced their separation in Jan-
uary 2005.
But after the media upheav-
al, Jolie Pitt and Pitt eventually
settled into their own unique
kind of globe-trotting domestic-
ity. They were seldom-seen Hol-
lywood royalty, their image
predicated more on parenting
than partying.
Her approach underscores
what’s emerged as a central
question of the 2016 campaign:
Can Clinton’s play-it-safe politi-
cal strategy win against a chaos
candidate?
Even President Barack Oba-
ma, who long dismissed the idea
of a future Trump administra-
tion, has started ringing alarm
bells, warning Democratic sup-
porters to expect a tight race that
initial
romance
sparked a tabloid avalanche un-
like any in recent memory. Pitt
