Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt Divorce: Who Do They Cling To Amid Split Aside From Kids?

Even the best fall down sometimes, so they say, and the recently-split golden couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are no exception to that. While the kids--Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox--serve as the former couple's pillar of strength, friends and families have come to support Pitt and Jolie amid the demise of their relationship.

In a report by E! Online, it was said that the "Maleficent" star has found a beam of light through her colleagues, Baroness Arminka Helic and Chloe Dalton. Together, the three are the brains behind a non-profit foundation, Jolie-Pitt Dalton Helic London, and the two ladies were said to have been guiding Jolie through her current emotional crisis.

Helic, a member of the House of Lords, is a British-Bosnian born former advisor to United Kingdom Secretary William Hague. Meanwhile, Dalton has been a former aide to Secretary Hague as well and is the daughter of British ambassador Sir Robert Dalton. The two women reportedly support the 41-year-old actress from her humanitarian advocacies up to her personal life, as per a Telegraph report.

Jolie's friendship with the two lady dignitaries started in 2011 when she worked along Hague. The former Secretary was the one who granted the actress an honorary privilege to teach in London School of Economics according to a Vanity Fair report.

While the actress has her crew to support her, Pitt also found a few individuals, particularly his parents. The "Inglorious Basterds" actor seek refuge from his parents, William Alvin Pitt and Jane Etta Pitt. In fact, the grandparents to the famous brood of six were reported to be in charge in taking care of family matters while the former husband and wife's divorce settlement is in the works.

Jolie filed divorce from Pitt of two years--and partner for 10 years--on Sept. 18, and is yet to reveal the cause of the split. Both were said to be privately talking about their divorce and the "main concern is the custody over their six children," as reported by Daily Mail. Currently, the actress pushes only visitation rights to be granted by her estranged husband.
