Brangelina divorce: Marion announces pregnancy, breaks her silence on Pitt affair
Mumbai: French actress Marion Cotillard, who was rumoured to be having an affair with Brad Pitt, has finally spoken out on Instagram to clarify the issue, after the news about Brangelina's splitsville started trending.
The 40-year-old actress posted a lengthy Instagram message to make the announcement and to dispel rumours on Wednesday.
The Academy Award winner revealed that she is pregnant with her second child and finally wished Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie 'peace in this very tumultuous moment.'
The 'The Dark Knight Rises' actress addressed reports that she and Pitt had sparked a romance during the filming of their new WWII drama, 'Allied.'
The Instagram message read:
"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,' she continued, 'but as this situation is spiraling and affecting people I love, I have to speak up.
Firstly, many years ago, I met the man of my life, father of our son and of the baby we are expecting. He is my love, my best friend, the only one that I need.
Secondly to those who have indicated that I am devastated, I am very well thank you. This crafted conversation isn't distressing.
And to all the media and the haters who are quick to pass judgment, I sincerely wish you a swift recovery. 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"
41-year-old Jolie had filed for divorce from her husband on September 19 on the grounds of 'irreconcilable differences' and for 'the health of her family.'
She had additionally asked for physical custody of their six children.
Meanwhile, photos taken at Los Angeles park show the 'Shark Tale' star's brother, James Haven with the couple's three biological children Shiloh and twins Vivienne and Know.
