Hollywood power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are taking the editors of a Bristish newspaper to court over reports that the couple plans to split.

The News of the World tabloid ran an article on January 24 claiming that Pitt and Jolie had met with Los Angeles divorce attorney Sorrell Trope to negotiate a division of assets and custody of the couple’s six children.

Trope denies being in contact with the couple and their lawyer Keith Schillings is taking action to put an end to the false reports.

Schillings issued a statement Monday stating that Pitt and Jolie have started legal proceedings against the tabloid after it’s editors failed to meet a demand for a retraction and apology. Shillings claims the report includes “false and intrusive allegations.”
