Brad and Angelina are not splitting up, their rep confirms

cff inglourious basterds premiere 2 200509
People Magazine is running a brief denial of the split rumors from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s rep, who only says that the story is “not true.”. US Weekly has the quote that it’s “absolutely not true” that they’re breaking up. Yesterday we heard the details of an upcoming National Enquirer story which claims that the couple is “officially splitting” after four years and six children together. That report seems to be based on the news that Brad will have to be in LA for work while Angelina plans to either retreat to their French villa with the children or stay in NY to finish Salt.

Many of you were skeptical of the Enquirer’s account and thought it was primarily speculative, but others thought it had a whiff of truth and that there must be something wrong with these two. I’m divided, but tend to agree with Kaiser – these two probably fight and have problems like most couples, but the reports that they’re breaking up and fighting like cats and dogs are way overblown. These are arguably the two most famous people in the world, and they move gossip magazines like no one else. How many times have we heard that they’re breaking up? So far it hasn’t been true at all and they’ve remained committed to each other and to their family.

Pay attention to how the Enquirer words their insider statement, it’s like they’re hedging their bets: “Brad and Angelina will make appearances together from time to time, and he’ll meet up with the kids when he can. But make no mistake, this is a major split.” So we can assume they’re broken up, even as they’re seen together and continue to raise their kids together? It sounds more like dad has to be away for a little while to work.

Besides, I think they’re expanding their family. Angelina loves having kids and she’s not as bone thin as she used to be. I think she’s knocked up again, as controversial as that is to say. Wait and see.

  1. Jolie says:

    She is not pregnant the woman just has excess belly fat from caring twins and her breast size seem to be the same, isn’t that one of the first visiable sign of pregnancy

  2. Ling says:

    @Jolie: what excess belly fat?

    And: Ooh, Brange got a rep. How very Anistonian. Guess they couldn’t take the heat.

  3. dg says:

    Thank God. If these two split the Apocalypse will come. The world can’t function without their love.

    PS: I was sarcastic.But for some people that’s the truth.

  4. Candygirl says:

    I think she’s pregnant again. She’s a movie star, she wouldn’t be going out in dresses that show off her belly fat! Anyway, since when has being too thin ever stopped her getting pregnant before?

    Is it uncharitable to wonder if this is a band aid baby?

  5. Rice says:

    They have split, they are not just officially announcing it, reread the wording in the article.

    Oh and that “guy” posted the pics of her making out with a horse, not a AJ fan but never believed the horse rumers, ugh untill I saw the disgusting pics. Who would mess with a horse’s “thing” and let it lick their breast, really nasty stuff.

  6. furrrball says:

    damn, have been waiting for this day! but now that it almost has, it just dont feel right anymore.

    6 little kids later, and ive gone soft in the head. and who knows, maybe the chick does have feelings after all.

  7. Gemma says:

    @ dg, you are hilarious!

  8. Shay says:

    Rice you and all the other haters just seem so sick. Here is the article telling you the break up story is not true and that’s all you can post. I pray one day all the haters can really get help to release all that pinned up hatered for this family that’s keeping them from moving on with there life after five years.

  9. DD says:

    so yesterday we got the fake split story, and today we get the debunking of the fake split story.

  10. nimble minx says:

    though I didn’t believe this story when it was mentioned on here yesterday, I do wonder about this denial.

    I have heard brangeloonie after brangeloonie say that “Angie and Brad don’t have a publicist/spokesperson/rep”.

    So, who is this “rep” that denied the story? I guess it’s the same “friend” or “insider” who gives the tabloids dirt on them? (meaning, an entirely made up person.)

  11. 88Modesty88 says:

    Rice, Rice, no dice…

    And you actually JUST HAD TO look at those pics, hey?

    Lol

  12. ash says:

    Yeah if these 2 broke up, the world may explode – twice.

  13. journey says:

    wait till the haters read that jolie, the woman they vehemently proclaim a has-been, has made forbes’ list of 100 most powerful celebrities. not just made the list, but is in the number one spot! ahead of oprah and everybody! love it! (gee, does forbes carry a tiny bit more weight than a made-up enquirer story???! yes that is a gleeful chuckle of mirth you hear!)

  14. dg says:

    Warning: The Brangeloooooonies are coming.

  15. messie says:

    Journey OMG you are so right! Now go home and pay homage to your Angie Jo shrine!!

  16. nanster says:

    Although I really don’t believe the National Enquirer’s Story, it seems to me that when tabloids latch on to these types of stories, they are often have some truth to them. The Pitt/Aniston, Simpson/Lachey, Spears/Federline splits were predicted for months ahead of time and they actually did happen.

  17. nnn says:

    Notice that this thread has not many responses. People are pathetic and infantile for praying, rejoycing for a couple of celebrities with young kids they don’t even know to split up, just to satisfy their ego maniac meanness.

    Now that it is confirmed they don’t split, they go hiding or confirmed how powerfull Jolie is by acting desperate showing pictures 10 years old or spilling their usual bile or showing how miserable they are by the news.

    PATHETIC, HYPOCRITE & DESPERATE, just like a certain celebrity they unconsciousely emulate.

  18. anastasiabeaverhausen says:

    Sometimes the truth is just kind of boring. And I suspected the truth is that he is about to start a film and she is wrapping one up so they are juggling obligations and their family as anyone does in a two-career, lots of kids family. Only they have help, so it’s not QUITE as hard.

    I sort of doubt she’s pregnant. If anything, I think they might adopt again.

  19. anastasiabeaverhausen says:

    nnn: I do find it kind of sickening that people would actually hope and pray that a couple with six kids would split up. Why would you want their kids to go through that, even if you hate them? Ug. I wouldn’t wish that on any child. I went through my own parent’s divorce and it was bad enough without people being gleeful over it.

  20. e says:

    Look over at CDAN…the National Enq did a story on M. Fox and BAG breaking up and pretty much barfed up the same language from the Ang/brad story…they pretty much just changed the names.

  21. Sauronsarmy says:

    NO NO NO. I don’t think they’re are together its still cloudy/rainy where I live! Somebody inform God and the Angels they are back together so it can stop raining!

    GOD BLESS THE JOLIE-PITTS!!!!!1

  22. notreallyimpressed says:

    ummm…. this is getting a bit wierd.

    First off – as alot of you have mentioned, there has been rumors upon rumors over the years…which is true BUT there has never been a DENIAL! this part is a bit worrysome because jus like a lot of other couples, once the denial comes out its like uh-oh!!! remember jess & nick, madonna & guy etc.

    i hope its wrong for the sake of the kids….but its not lookin to great 🙁

  23. sonia says:

    Nimble minx their rep’s are their managers or lawyers they dont have publicist and Angie doesn’t have an agent either. As for NE predicting breakups they have claimed DR Phil, Oprah and Rachael Ray relationships have ended at least a dozen times over the last 2 years. Also according to them Patrick Swayze had 5 weeks to live in Feb 08

  24. sonia says:

    Also they didn’t release a statement People and Usweekly contacted their manager or lawyer just like when Star magazine claimed they got married last year Us weekly called her manager to confirm the story

  25. Cheyenne says:

    *GASP!!!*

    You mean the tabs LIED?!

    *FAINTED!!!*

  26. sara says:

    Yeah, usually instead of a denial they plan a photo op with the kids, all lovey dovey, with her holding a kid able to walk.

    But I think this time they can not even fake it anymore and don’t even want too.
    Hey I am not sitting around praying for anyone to break up, I am just calling it like I see it.

  27. Cheyenne says:

    That Star mag story that they got married last year was hilarious. People and USweekly called their rep who denied the story, and every other tabloid website got on the bandwagon laughing at Star. Star thought they had an exclusive. When they saw their story falling apart, they got desperate, called the parish priest, and tried to bribe him $3,000 to back their story up. The priest refused and Star was left with egg all over their faces.

  28. nimble minx says:

    sonia, how do you know who their reps are?

    honestly asking, not being snotty…

  29. Annie says:

    Why should they have to deny or confirm anything?

    It’s their private business and I hate that people are so nosy about that. Even on a small scale.

    After I broke up with my guy of 2 years (some time ago) for months afterwards I would have people coming up to me and asking how come we’re not back together or when we were going to get back together even after I already had a NEW guy.

    AND, to be frank, I’d be more concerned if there wasn’t fighting. Every healthy relationship needs arguments, not a whole crapload but some is just fine. It doesn’t mean the end of the world.

  30. sonia says:

    In a NYTimes article about Angie last year they spoke about how she manipulates the media w/o having an agent or a pr firm.It said her manager, attorney and for charity related stuff,her philantrophic advisor, Trevor Neilsen, speak for her. Brad does have an agent.

  31. sonia says:

    As for planning a photo op with the kids everytime there is a break up story, they would be out in public every month since there is a breakup story on the net and/or in the tabs every month if not week. We only saw them together 1 0r 2 times between the Oscars and Cannes.

  32. kap says:

    I was surprised her manager and his rep commented on this story too. Think the split rumors reach crescendo levels whenever she’s working (as opposed to when she’s home and he’s working), which is a bit sexist (maybe more than a bit). Their kids are getting older and can read. That could be one reason for the denial. I think they just decided to stop taking it and start hitting back, especially refuting the Brad & Jen are getting back together lies that someone’s PR (only God knows who) keeps leaking (and then denying). Happy Birthday AJ, you’re #1 (thanks in great part to all the haters out there)!

  33. Maybe the denial was for the fired nanny’s sake-so she wouldn’t think she had succeeded in busting them up. The weird thing is that it shows they are actually reading the tabloids. We know celebs do but they always deny it.

  34. aleach says:

    i dont give two shits whether they are together, splitting, swingers, or etc. but if they were splitting up, do you think they would announce it? no.
    they depend on the idiot brangeloonies to stay on top & make them the “most powerful, beautiful, kind, saintly couple on earth”.
    but that being said, some (most) of you are wayyy to emotionally invested in this couple’s lives. um…creeeeepyyyy.

  35. fizXgirl314 says:

    wait wait, what pictures? what horse? i’m morbidly curious…

    and saur, hehehe

  36. Wow.Pathetic... says:

    nah, the horse pics are nothing but glam shots from a very old photo shoot that wierd prude types make a big deal out of…
    go. thump. bible. elsewhere.

  37. anonymous says:

    She looks like a man.

  38. Codzilla says:

    aleach: Agreed. The obsessive recanting of intricate details is really messed up.

  39. sdleo says:

    I find it truly funny how some bitter women are holding on to a desperate hope that the news are true. HW relationships don’t last very long; however, I think that Brad and Angelina will withstand the test of time based on what their priorities seem to be. Couples have problems all the time, nothing major, but splitting, highly doubt it. One thing I know is that Angelina does not play those HW games, and she would leave if she was not happy. So, to all the bitter women out there, hold on to your hopes and beliefs about a relationship that’s not even yours if it makes you sleep better at night…

  40. morgs says:

    PATHETIC, HYPOCRITE & DESPERATE, just like a certain celebrity they unconsciousely emulate.

    **************************************

    Wow. Have a little emotion wrapped up in this do you?

  41. morgs says:

    @Sauronsarmy:

    They are God’s leading angels! They obviously decided the rain needed to continue…so it did!

    Learn how the universe works you h8ter!

  42. fizXgirl314 says:

    THANK GOD, i wasn’t sure how i was going to face the day without this news… *eyeroll*

  43. morgs says:

    fizXgirl:

    I think you meant “THANK ANGELINA”, she rules the world you know.

  44. Cheyenne says:

    To Aleach: LOL, pot meet kettle. Some people seem wayyyyy too emotionally invested in hoping this couple breaks up. It’s as if they are violating a fundamental law of nature by being happy together. So they scrutinize every photograph and every comment by some self-appointed “body language expert”, desperate for some hint that all is not well in Brangieville. She glanced away while the photo was snapped — oooh, they’re on the verge of a split! He’s not smiling in every single frame — yay, he’s ready to run back to Jennifer! Yeah, they probably fight and argue at times like any couple with a bunch of kids. But they seem to be committed to each other and their family, and I think they are in it for the long haul.

  45. IslandDreaming says:

    Thank god that Angie and brad don’t give a flying f of what these haters/skeptics think of them.

  46. this is f'in hysterical says:

    Jolie just made top celeb in Forbes. It’s the Aniston fans constant stalking of Jolie that has made her SO MUCH MORE famous than she would be. Congratulations, GUYS!
    Karma, indeed. hahaha

  47. Lucky says:

    when did they get a rep?

  48. Ursula says:

    My guess is that Brad knows about what the body guard said. I don’t think any man can stay after that. His family must also know and so they don’t like her. Remember, his family might even be here on the internet blogging and cannot stomach this woman who is manipulative and pretentious not to mention a history that rivals that of a professional hooker.

    Bradley may not be the sharpest tool in the box but by now he realises that his baby momma schemed to get him for the sake of fame and publicity and started colected children to tighten the noose around him.

    Of course their rep(I thought they had none) would deny it, what else would they say? Even the Gosselins first denied the rumours of their split.

    Am I sad that the Brangelina gravy train is winding to a stop? NOPE!

  49. Freddy Fritz says:

    brad aint going nowhere. angiewhore is preggers.look at the belly folks. she stuck him again.

  50. Zebra Spots says:

    she’s preggers but not by Brad.

  51. ashley says:

    angie looks like a skelaton in a curtain. She is so weird. It would be nice for the world if they broke up. Most ANNOYING couple ever. Brad is creepy too..I cant believe he left Jen for this manly girl!

  52. frewt says:

    ^^oh grow up

  53. Mia says:

    Karma, indeed. hahaha

    —————————————-

    Kind of true.
    While the haters bring up their names it gives us a chance to notice all the good deeds they do. How loving they are. How much they love each other and their kids.
    Keep up the good work Jolie/Pitt because that stand out more than the haters bitter useless lies.
    I use to be a JA fan that switch to the Jolie/Pitt side because I got sick of the bitterness. Honestly people get tired of all that bitter junk and wish it would stop.

  54. lisa says:

    Ursula:

    What the hell are you talking about. Who are all these men you claim Angie has been with. She was married twice. And before each she as a single woman free to be with whomever she wanted. So where is your proof other then tab reports. Stop spreading crap that you have no proof of. Drew B, Kate H, Jennifer A, Paris, and so many more have been with more men (documented) so Stop calling Angelina a whore. Single women can date and sleep with whomever they want. And as far as her “history” most of her past wild behavior was done in her teens and early twenties.. You know about them because unlike most celebs she has been HONEST about her life. No you try and throw things up in her face that she did when she was 14 – 22.. STFU.. She nor Brad do not need to do anything to garner media coverage. She has been doing a movie since March. Hss done no interviews persay, and no TV appearances. Yet every week there is a cover story.. So yeah it makes sense to blame her and Brad for the media obsession. Just so stupid.. Please use your brain. Stop hating this woman for no other reason then she is Angelina. Drew B past is way more scandelous, yet I don’t see you calling her names. So again. STFU

  55. Ursula says:

    Sorry but Angelina told Ryan Seacret that she slept with anonymous men who were total strangers in hotels. Check out that interview on youtube. No one likes such an in law. Atleast Drew and co have dated these men and the relationships failed.

    Plus do not forget that Brad’s relatives have by now read that she thinks he is dumb etc etc. She is not a very likeable person either.

  56. Liz says:

    Well duh, Angelina has never been a vanilla sort of girl and has never claimed to be one. Brad knew exactly what he was getting into. This is partly why we (the fans) love her, she’s uninhibited and lives her life the way she wants to instead of trying to fit a proper stereotype.

    We’ve been seeing Brangelina breakup rumors in the press ever since they got together, I’m not believing it til I see it. The two of them are often busy working and can’t always be together, that doesn’t mean they’re doomed. For all we know, they enjoy having some space sometimes. The tabloids can’t wrap their heads around the idea that some people might have a nonstandard relationship.
