A source close to Brad Pitt shared with Page Six that the actor is “heartbroken” with the claims.

The source was quoted as saying “Brad is heartbroken that Angelina has gone that route. There’s a lot of emotion left after their marriage.

The marriage was very passionate and toxic at times and they had fights, but also shared many good times together.”
