While TMZ has not confirmed that Angelina Jolie decided to split from Brad Pitt due to disagreements in parenting, many other sources firmly state that Marion Cotillard is the main reason behind the breakdown of this marriage.
Is Angelina Jolie Jealous?
Moreover, X70Online has also not confirmed that she is pregnant with the child of the male lead. This led to Cotillard’s response in an interview with French magazine Marie Claire on September 16, just four days before Jolie officially filed for divorce. In the interview, she confirmed that she is pregnant and will officially welcome her second child in December 2016.
If we look back at the timeline, she was close to Pitt in March, which might indicate that they were getting cozy on the set of Allied. At that time, her long-time partner, actor-director Guillaume Canet, and Angelina Jolie were both busy with work.

It could very well be just a coincidence. However, Jolie’s excessive jealousy over her husband’s intimate scenes in the film has made others uncomfortable.
“Angie cannot bear to see Brad’s romantic scenes with Marion. Her jealousy has gone beyond control. For many months, Brad has been calm and trying to reassure her, but it hasn’t worked. She has direct intuition that he is choosing Cotillard over her,” a source told X70Online.
“Angie has lashed out to cope with the insecurity she has felt about Brad for many years, but she has never been jealous of any of Brad’s other co-stars as much as she is with Marion. She always has the impression that Brad could treat her similarly to what he did with Jennifer Aniston,” the source added.
Marion Cotillard Distressed by Rumors
For months now, Marion Cotillard has always been the name closely associated with the marital breakdown of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. She is said to be the “third wheel” who intruded into the private life of the golden couple and was a source of distress for Brad Pitt when Angelina Jolie was just recovering from health issues.

The 40-year-old actress was born into a family with a rich artistic background, with her father being an actor and her mother a theater director. She began her acting career at a young age, with her first role being in one of her father’s plays.
Before Brad Pitt, Cotillard had the opportunity to work alongside many other leading Hollywood actors. She played Johnny Depp’s girlfriend in Public Enemies in 2009 and was featured as Leonardo DiCaprio’s “dream girl” in the blockbuster Inception.

In 2007, she publicly announced her romantic relationship with the French actor-director Guillaume Canet. They have a son named Marcel, born on May 19, 2011.
Currently, the actress has not officially commented on the rumors surrounding Brad Pitt. However, Daily Mail recently reported that she is feeling completely distressed by the allegations surrounding the divorce.
“Marion and Guillaume are happily together. But the remarks (about the extramarital affair) are not something she wants to hear. The accusations against her from Guillaume’s side to Brad have left her utterly devastated,” Daily Mail reported.
“The child is not Brad’s. She wants to spend time separately with her family. This whole situation is a huge shock for Marion,” the publication concluded.
