After two years of marriage, Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt citing irreconcilable differences, according to TMZ.

‘WHAT? Brangelina? But how?!’ We hear you cry. This is a couple who famously met on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith in 2004, fell in love, had six children together and tied the knot in France after seven years together.

While public scrutiny over the world’s most famous couple was going to be unavoidable, this couple appeared genuinely happy and unaffected by the Hollywood bubble. The epitome of #RelationshipGoals.

While promoting their film By the Sea last year, Angelina opened up about her marriage in a rare interview.‘For me, the big moment was when [we] signed the [joint adoption] papers for Maddox and Zahara,' she told the New York Times. That was a decision to parent together, to commit to being a part of each other’s lives for the rest of my life. So [marriage] wasn’t close in comparison.’

In loving memory of the ultimate power couple, here’s what Brad and Angelina have said about their relationship below...

Angelina on her children wanting them to get married

'The kids asked me the other day and I asked them if it was just because they wanted to have a big cake. They see movies that have the people getting married in the movies or somebody’s, you know, the happily ever after. Shrek and Fiona are married. … We’ve explained to them that our commitment when we decided to start a family was the greatest commitment you could possibly have. Once you have six children … you’re committed.'

Brad on Angelina's double mastectomy

'It’s business as usual, she’s doing great. When she wrote that piece, we had already come out the other end. It was a beautiful thing to watch and her focus now is that all people have access to the testing. If you do your research, it doesn’t have to be scary, it is an empowering thing… I’ve been moved by every stage of this.'

Brad on PDA-ing in front of the kids

'There are no secrets at our house. We tell the kids, "Mom and Dad are going off to kiss." They go, "Eww, gross!" But we demand it.'

Angelina on their problems on screen in By The Sea

'Brad and I have our issues. But if the characters were even remotely close to our problems, we couldn't have made the film.'

Brad on getting married

'We’d actually like to, and it seems to mean more and more to our kids. We made this declaration some time ago that we weren’t going to do it till everyone can. But I don’t think we’ll be able to hold out.'

Angelina on life with Brad

'[Brad] has expanded my life in ways I never imagined. We built a family. He is not just the love my life, he is my family. I hold that very dear. I suppose what I’ve learned from Brad is to be able to have the kind of family whose happiness and well-being comes before your own. I’m very very grateful to have such a loving family, and I wouldn’t have that without him.'

Angelina on falling in love with Brad on set

'Not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love. What’s going to be funny is when they think Mom and Dad are a little bit cool. Because right now, we’re not cool Mom and Dad.'

Angelina on why Brad is so great

'I am very lucky with Brad. He is a real gentleman, but he is also a real man’s man," Angie told The Telegraph in May 2011. "He’s got the wonderful balance of being an extraordinary, great, loving father, a very, very intelligent man and physically he’s a real man.'

Brad saying what every mother wants to hear

'One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom'

Angelina on realising they should be together

'We spent a lot of time contemplating and thinking and talking about what we both wanted in life and realized that we wanted very, very similar things. And then we just continued to take time. We remained very, very good friends—with this realization—for a long time. And then life developed in a way where we could be together, where it felt like something we would do, we should do."

Brad on waking up next to Angelina

'I get up some mornings and gasp.'

Angelina on Brad being her only friend

'I’ll talk to my family. I talk to Brad Pitt. ... I don’t have a lot of friends I talk to. He is really the only person I talk to.'

Angelina on being a 'bad girl'

'I’m still a bad girl. I still have that side of me…it’s just in its place now… it belongs to Brad. Or … our adventures.'

Angelina on Brad as a father

'It's such a beautiful and sexy quality in a man when he takes his responsibilities as a father very seriously. I still get very emotional when I watch Brad play with the children—he is so naturally devoted and joyful around them.'
