Source: Brad & Angelina Split Rumors ‘Not True’

Reports of Brad Pitt and Angelina’s break-up are “not true,” a publicist close to Brad Pitt’s assistant told Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush.

Reports of a split spread like wildfire from the Internet to radio and TV news over the weekend — while other reports besides Access’ have also denied the break-up.

The rumors reached a fever pitch on Saturday night, when both stars became Twitter trending topics following a report from the UK tabloid News of the World.

According to News of the World’s report, Brad and Angelina are set to divide their multi-million dollar fortune and share custody of their six children, who will live full-time with Angelina. The “Salt” star is reportedly consulting with a Beverly Hills lawyer.

Additionally, several mainstream media outlets, including NBC’s “Today” show, CBS Radio and the Times of London, began picking up the story on Sunday – not reporting it as fact, but reporting on News of the World’s report.

Reps for neither Brad nor Angelina have commented on the report, with Angelina’s manager, Geyer Kosinski, unresponsive to request for comment from Access Hollywood.

However, in addition to Access’ source, a source also told People magazine that “everything is fine” with the couple, bashing the split rumors. And Perez Hilton claimed that a rep for the couple also denied the story, though other outlets have yet to report such a denial.

The couple has been together since 2005, following Brad’s break-up with ex-wife Jennifer Aniston after four and a half years of marriage. The two connected while filming “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” together in 2004.

Since then, they’ve become Hollywood’s most famous duo, landing on hundreds of magazine covers and inspiring constant rumors over their state of their relationship – with many such stories including a mention of secret meetings or contact with Jennifer.

The couple has three biological children as well as three adopted from across the world.

The pair was spotted together as recently as January 3, when they took their four oldest children to a Broadway matinee performance of “Mary Poppins” in New York City. The family was in town while Angelina wrapped up production on her latest film, “Salt,” due out in summer 2010.

In November, they stepped out at the MOCA NEW 30th anniversary gala in LA and made a number of public appearances in 2009, including at Brad’s “Inglourious Basterds” worldwide premieres and at awards ceremonies ranging from the Golden Globes to the Oscars to the BAFTAS.

The pair recently donated $1 million for Haiti relief and have donated millions through their joint charity, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.
