Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt, her husband of two years, on Monday, citing irreconcilable differences. Court documents obtained by ET list the separation date as Sept. 15, 2016. The 41-year-old actress has requested full physical custody of the couple's six children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox.

"I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids," Pitt told People on Tuesday. "I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time."

According to a source, different parenting styles was a contributing factor towards their split.

"Brad has traditional parenting skills -- thinks the kids need structure [like] bed times, consistent schooling," the source said. "Angelina's parenting style is much more freeform. She's not into setting boundaries."
