Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt 'sleeping in different rooms'

Tensions are mounting between the overworked couple

Angelina Jolie's stress at work is affecting her life at home

Three weeks ago, the cast and crew of Angelina Jolie’s latest movie Salt finally got their first sighting of Brad Pitt since filming began. The 45-year-old actor was visiting Angelina on set for the first time, but sources say it was hardly an affectionate greeting.

‘Brad came to pick her up, but he looked miserable,’ one co-star reveals to Now. ‘He had his arms folded and was scowling.’ What’s more, Angelina, 34, didn’t look particularly happy, with the same source telling us: ‘She didn’t even kiss him hello.’

The sombre mood should come as no surprise, given what insiders say about the tension that’s fizzled between them in recent months.

Balancing work with the needs of six children is taking its toll according to those in the know, especially as one of their nannies was recently dismissed for getting too close to Brad. The burnout they’re facing has even led to them sleeping in different rooms at the Washington DC place they’ve rented.

‘It’s true,’ confirms another source in constant contact with the couple. ‘Angie says they haven’t slept together in weeks. It gives her some space while they’re under pressure and she just prefers it that way.

‘Brad’s so busy being a full-time parent while Angie works that he simply doesn’t have the energy to argue with her in the evenings. At the moment, he sleeps in a separate room or
on the couch.’

THEIR ISSUES

Family

Our source tells us: ‘Angie’s always had a pretty difficult relationship with Brad’s family – she hardly ever invites them over to stay or gives Brad’s mom a call. Brad, being more family oriented than Angelina, also has trouble understanding her ongoing problems with her dad Jon Voight.

Jennifer Aniston

According to those closest to the couple, Jennifer Aniston’s a never-ending issue for them. Their encounter at the Oscars and Jen’s recent split from musician John Mayer have only made matters worse. ‘Brad tries to reassure Angie, but Jen’s still an incredibly sore subject for her,’ the source confirms.

The nanny

Reports from the US suggested that Brad got too close to one of their children’s nannies and she was sacked as a result. The truth behind that, our sources say, is that there was categorically no infidelity going on. But it’s fair to say that Brad’s turned to others for support as he struggles to deal with what he terms Angelina’s ‘selfish attitude’.
