The couple married in 2014 and has been together since 2004.
"This decision was made for the health of the family," Robert Offer, an attorney for Jolie tells USA TODAY in a statement. "She will not be commenting at this time, and asks that the family be given their privacy during this difficult time."
Jolie, 41, and Pitt, 52, have six children together: Maddox, 15, and Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, and Vivienne, 8, Shiloh, 10 and Knox, 8.
In court documents the date of separation is listed as Sept. 15, and Jolie has asked for physical custody of all six children.
Pitt soon released his own statement. "I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids," he told People. "I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time."
For 12 years the couple has captivated international audiences with their jet-setting glamour, their commitment to philanthropy, and their stunning red carpet turns. But they put off getting legally married for a decade, until announcing a surprise ceremony in France at Château Miraval in August 2014.
In December 2014 Jolie told Vanity Fair being married did feel different for the couple. "It feels nice to be husband and wife," she said.
Their children helped them write the vows for their ceremony, she revealed, adding, “they did not expect us never to fight, but they made us promise to always say, ‘Sorry,’ if we do. So they said, ‘Do you?,’ and we said, ‘We do!’ ”
Jolie was previously married to actors Jonny Lee Miller (1996-1999) and Billy Bob Thornton (2000-2003). Pitt was previously married to Jennifer Aniston from 2000 to 2005, and the two announced their separation just before the release of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which starred Pitt and Jolie as husband-and-wife spies.
Though Pitt and Jolie denied infidelity, Pitt later told Rolling Stone he "fell in love" making the movie. A month after the film's release, the first paparazzi pictures of Pitt and Jolie surfaced.
