Two weeks after she filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie is “staying strong for her kids” as the whole family struggles to cope with life after the split, a source close to the situation tells PEOPLE. The source says Jolie and all of the kids have started therapy: “It’s been a traumatic situation.”In PEOPLE’s new cover story, sources detail the intense behind-the-scenes divorce negotiations, the couple’s battles over their kids’ upbringing and the final fight aboard their private plane that triggered an investigation by L.A.’s Department of Children and Family Services. Jolie, 41, and their six children spent the first weeks after the split secluded in an L.A.-area rental home, with friends and her brother James Haven at her side. “She did what she felt she had to do to protect the safety of the kids,” says a source.Meanwhile, a Pitt source tells PEOPLE the actor “has been absolutely devastated and heartbroken by the events of the past several weeks, both in terms of how those events have been wrongfully portrayed and how they have threatened to jeopardize his family’s ability to heal and move forward.” As Jolie and Pitt tangle over their kids’ future—Jolie wants sole physical custody, Pitt wants shared custody—Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and 8-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox are adjusting to an upended life. At home with Jolie, they’ve been watching movies and playing in the pool. “They didn’t leave the rental house for days,” says a source close to the family. “It was hard for all of them. They are used to more activities and more entertainment so it’s difficult for them to just stay at the house. The younger kids don’t understand what’s going on.” On Sept. 30 Jolie and Pitt, 52, agreed to a temporary plan recommended by DCFS: Until Oct. 20 the children will remain with Jolie, while Pitt is getting visitation with a therapist present for the first meeting. Along with family therapy, both Jolie and Pitt will undergo individual counseling, and Pitt will continue voluntary drug and alcohol testing.“Brad loves his children more than anything in this world, and they matter more than anything else to him,” says a Pitt source. “He will do whatever it takes to be with them, now and always.”

Angelina Jolie reportedly confronted Brad Pitt's Allied co-star Marion Cotillard on set after becoming wrongly convinced the pair were having an affair. The 41-year-old actress is reported to have hired a private investigator to follow the pair when they filmed the World War II movie in London.But her fears were unfounded as Marion is currently expecting her second child with French director and actor Guillaume Canet, who she has been with for nine years.Reports of an affair are thought to be part of a smear from Angelina's camp. 'Angelina completely ignored Marion on the set, and when Marion tried to talk to her she just looked the other way,' a source told DailyMail.com.'Marion was devastated, here she is thinking she is going to meet this great UN ambassador and instead Angelina refuses to speak to the woman because of her own jealousy.'The source also said that rumors of an affair between Pitt and Cotillard are '100 per cent false,' and that Pitt's main concern at this time is his children.'He does not want them reading anything negative in the press about himself or their mother,' said the source.'He's not going to get dirty.' The claims come as Marion felt compelled to come out and issue a statement to confirm her pregnancy and reiterate that she has not been involved in the split. The 40-year-old said on Wednesday: 'This is going to be my first and only reaction to the whirlwind news that broke 24 hours ago and that I was swept up into.'I am not used to commenting on things like this nor taking them seriously, but as this situation is spiraling and affecting people I love, I have to speak up'.She went on to confirm that her partner of eight years Guillaume Canet is the father of her unborn child.A source told PageSix that Jolie 'hired a private eye because she felt that he was fooling around with her on the set, and it turns out, he was. And that was the final straw'.Cotillard went on: 'And to all the media and the haters who are quick to pass judgment, I sincerely wish you a swift recovery.'She concluded her message by wishing Brad and Angelina Jolie well.'Finally, I do very much wish that Angelina and Brad, both whom I deeply respect, will find peace in this very tumultuous moment. With all my love, Marion'.Cotillard stars alongside Pitt in the upcoming spy thriller Allied and their onscreen sexual chemistry has been described as 'electric'.According to the film's producer, Graham King, Pitt and Cotillard had an immediate connection.'Brad and Marion immediately had the utmost respect for each other, so once they delved into their characters, their chemistry was electric,' he told People Magazine back in August.'It was crucial for Brad and Marion to not only begin rehearsing together before the shoot, but they also spent a lot of time developing their characters with the director, Robert Zemeckis,' he added.'By the time we got to set, it was really amazing to see these characters already feel lived-in and real.'The pair play a information officer and French Resistance fighter who fall in love. They began filming the movie in England in February this year and also travelled to Casablanca and the Canary Islands for shoots.Angelina filed for divorce from Pitt on Monday for 'the health of her family', two years after they wed at their French estate Chateau Miraval.The actress filed papers citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split and asked for physical custody of the couple's three biological children as well as their three adopted children - Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, and Zahara, 11.A source close to the couple said that the Maleficent star was upset over the way Pitt was parenting their brood and 'fed up' with his use of weed and alcohol, as well as anger issues.

Nicole Kidman Pulls an Angelina Jolie in Dramatic Black Dress With High Slit

Now that’s how you get a leg up! Nicole Kidman took a page from Angelina Jolie’s book on the London Film Festival red carpet for a Wednesday, October 12, screening of her new film, Lion.The actress, 49, looked elegant in a floor-length Giorgio Armani Privé black silk velvet dress embroidered with black crystals. The glamorous LBD also boasted features like chest cutouts topped with bow-ties, pockets and, of course, a thigh-high center split that displayed her long legs and black ankle-tie pumps. Kidman, who stars alongside Dev Patel in the Garth Davis-directed movie, kept the glamour going with a low bun with a side-swept bang and a fire engine red lip.With a dress like that (and legs like those), the Australian beauty couldn’t help but ham it up for the cameras on the press line. In one pose, she stuck her leg out of her split for the world to see. Look familiar? Fellow A-lister Jolie struck a similar stance at the 2012 Oscars. The By the Sea director poked her leg out of her black velvet strapless Atelier Versace with an up-to-there split alongside then-partner Brad Pitt. The pose sparked a number of memes, Photoshopped images and a now-deleted Twitter handle. In a May 2012 interview with the Huffington Post, the actress, 41, said that the jokes at the time didn’t bother her that much. “I honestly didn’t pay attention to it. You know what I mean? I don’t watch those TV shows and if I go online and see something about myself, I don’t click on it,” she said. “And the people I surround myself with don’t really talk about that kind of stuff. I heard something, but I didn’t pay any attention. It’s as simple as being a woman picking a dress you like and having a night, and not really thinking about anything else.”

Cara Delevingne Is Team Angelina Jolie: ‘I Admire Anyone Who Transforms Their Pain Into Power’

#GirlCrush alert! Cara Delevingne declared herself Team Angelina Jolie with a tribute post to the Maleficent actress via Instagram on Tuesday, October 11.“My admiration for Angelina Jolie is endless, I also admire anyone who transforms their pain into power,” the 24-year-old captioned a stunning shot of Jolie, 41, as part of the U.N.’s Girl Up campaign. “I admire unruly activists. I admire her continued involvement with the UN as a goodwill ambassador.”“She is ruthless, determined and unforgiving in her efforts to make a difference for Refugee’s,” she continued. “She also inspire me to follow my dreams into acting and have higher goals of one day becoming a director. I have chosen her as my #GirlHero today!”Earlier in the day, Delevingne posted a throwback snapshot of feminist Gloria Steinem, similarly praising the political icon for her “perseverance” and “her fight for gender & race equality.”The Suicide Squad actress’ praise comes amid Jolie’s headline-making split from her husband of two years and partner of 12, Brad Pitt. As previously reported, Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt on Monday, September 19, citing irreconcilable differences. In the days that followed, reports surfaced of marital strife, and that the Oscar-winning actor had allegedly become physical with one of their kids aboard a private jet. (A Pitt insider told Us that “the abuse allegations are inaccurate.”)Pitt, 52, and Jolie reached a temporary parenting plan on Thursday, September 22, for their six children — Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and 8-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne — in which the pair share legal custody but Jolie has temporary physical custody.“[It’s] a logistical thing,” a source told Us of why the children are living with their mom. “They have six kids and want things to be as uninterrupted as possible. It didn’t make sense, all of a sudden, for the kids to have two different households. You don’t just immediately create a new world for those children.” The parenting plan will be put in place until October 20, when the Department of Children and Family Services will determine whether the conditions stay in place, and whether it will continue to investigate Pitt for alleged child abuse.
