‘Love is dead’: Fans react to Brad and Angelina’s divorce
NEWS of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s shock divorce has sent the internet into a meltdown, with Jennifer Aniston’s face saturating social media.
BRANGELINA is no more. And love, as we know it, has died.
As TMZ broke the news Tuesday morning that one of Hollywood’s favourite couples, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, are divorcing after two years of marriage, the hearts of fans around the world broke.
The collective shattering of hearts could be heard on social media as faith in love began to crumble. Some users even declared there’s “no hope for the rest of us” — heavy.
Of course, the Jen Aniston gifs and memes quickly flooded the internet, and ‘Jennifer Aniston Meme Day’ was born.
Some Twitter users blamed 2016 for everything, while others pointed out that sadly, we can no longer just be #TeamBrangelina, we have to pick sides. The hashtag #Brexpitt was even created.
Here are some of the most heartbroken — and hilarious — responses.

If a couple with millions of dollars, six kids and a brand of overpriced rose wine can't make it, we should all just give up now #brangelina

Jolie’s lawyer confirmed Tuesday that the Oscar-winning actress and director had filed for divorce and is seeking “physical custody” of their six children.
TMZ reports the 41-year-old Hollywood star filed legal documents on Monday, citing irreconcilable differences.
But sources told the entertainment website Jolie ended the two-year marriage because she was upset over how Pitt, 52, was raising their children.
“She was extremely upset with his methods,” sources said.
The pair infamously met on the set of their movie, Mr. and Mrs. Smith while Brad was married to actress Jennifer Aniston.
They confirmed their romance in 2006 and tied the knot in August 2014, 10 years after they first got together.
Brad and Ange have six children together — Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, eight.
