Brangelina call it quits: reports

Brangelina have called it quits, according to media reports.

Hollywood glamour couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had "signed papers paving the way for a legal separation with joint custody of their six children", The Sunday Times in London has reported.

Pitt and Jolie have signed a $367 million separation deal, according to reports.

"The agreement gives them joint custody of the kids - but all six will actually live full-time with their mum," News of the World said.

"Preparations for a split began in early December when Brangelina visited a top Los Angeles divorce firm to begin thrashing out the deal.

"An announcement of their separation is expected to be made soon - ending months of speculation that the five-year relationship is on the rocks."

The divorce lawyer they consulted was based in Beverly Hills and had worked on a string of celebrity divorces and splits. He was widely regarded as the best in the business, News of the World said.

"The paperwork is already organised for a break-up - and for it to be as unmessy for them as possible. It is clear it's a case of when they break up rather than if," a source said.

The troubled couple had not been photographed together in public recently. On Friday night, Pitt, 46, was snapped backstage at the Hope For Haiti concert in Los Angeles without Jolie, 34.
