BRANGELINA is no more. And love, as we know it, has died.

As TMZ broke the news Tuesday morning that one of Hollywood’s favourite couples, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, are divorcing after two years of marriage, the hearts of fans around the world broke.

The collective shattering of hearts could be heard on social media as faith in love began to crumble. Some users even declared there's “no hope for the rest of us” - heavy.

Of course, the Jen Aniston memes were aplenty, some just blamed 2016 for everything, while others pointed out that sadly, we can no longer just be #TeamBrangelina, we have to pick sides.

Here are some of the most heartbroken — and hilarious — responses.

Brad and Angelina. How am I supposed to go to work today ?

Jolie’s lawyer confirmed Tuesday that the Oscar-winning actress had filed for divorce and is seeking “physical custody” of their six children.

TMZ reports the 41-year-old Hollywood star filed legal documents on Monday, citing irreconcilable differences.
But sources told the entertainment website Jolie ended the two-year marriage because she was upset over how Pitt, 52, was raising their children.

“She was extremely upset with his methods,” sources said.

The couple married in August 2014, 10 years after they first got together.

They infamously met on the set of their movie, Mr. and Mrs. Smith while Pitt was married to actress Jennifer Aniston.
