Brothers claims children are the only bond between the two actors
Brad Pitt’s brother begged the Hollywood star to leave Angelina Jolie because their family was being torn apart, The Sun reported Monday.
The Sun said the couple have struggled during the last 12 months of their five-year relationship but were still trying to make it work for their six children.
Pitt, 46, spent the weekend in Los Angeles to take part in George Clooney’s Haiti telethon - where he went to great lengths to avoid his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston – while Jolie, 34, was on a New York photoshoot.
Despite having never married, reports Sunday claimed the couple have visited a top Beverly Hills divorce lawyer and signed a £205million (US$330 million) split deal to divide their assets.
The report claimed they will also share custody of their kids who will live full time with Angelina.
Brother Doug, 41, visited Brad in New York over Christmas and urged him to pull the plug on the relationship because it was making the actor and his family unhappy.
The couple have been putting on a united front but a source said: "It's no secret they have been in a pretty loveless relationship for about a year.
"They barely spend time together and when they do it is very fraught. They want different things from life," the source said.
"Brad's family are being more vocal with their doubts over the relationship. The only thing they still have in common is their kids. That's keeping them together at the moment."
Brad and Angelina had a miserable Christmas and Thanksgiving after Angelina refused once again to spend any time with Brad's family.
Tomb Raider star Angelina is also reported to have become close with a Russian teacher while filming her latest movie Salt.
Pitt and Jolie have also feuded for months over the issue of adoption.
She wants a baby from Syria and now Haiti while he thinks the six kids they have are more than enough.
Other thorny issues are his desires to relocate to New Orleans and to spend more time having fun with pals.
Meanwhile it is understood Pitt’s mother Jane never warmed to Jolie and is still in touch with Friends star Aniston, 40.
However, entertainment website TMZ has reported that split rumors were untrue, according to "multiple people directly connected with the couple."
The call by TMZ echoes an earlier report by celebrity website People.com, which also cited "multiple sources" close to the family who said Pitt and Jolie were staying together.
"Everything is fine" with the couple, one insider told People.com.
The couple were also recently spotted at a New York restaurant looking "in love" and work schedules have been blamed for the time they spend apart.
Pitt and Jolie have three adopted children Maddox, eight, Pax, six, and Zahara, five.
They also have three biological children Shiloh, three, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 17 months.
