Angelina Jolie

Ms Jolie, 49, and Mr Pitt, 61, were among Hollywood’s most prominent pairings for 12 years, two of them as a married couple before separating in 2016.

A representative for Mr Pitt, 58, strongly denied Ms Jolie’s allegations and called them 'another rehash that only harms the family.'

The Hollywood actress met with orphaned and displaced children, as she urged the international community to recognise the needs of refugees worldwide.
