Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt Divorce Update: Jolie Met Ban Ki-Moon In Netherlands; 'Maleficent' Actress Busying Herself Away From Husband?

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's relationship faced multiple divorce rumors lately. It seemed that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are bent on staying away from each other, instead of being together. The "Maleficent" actress recently met Ban Ki-Moon at the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) in The Hague, Netherlands, without the "World War Z" actor.

According to Celebuzz, Angelina Jolie was named in 2001 as the UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador. Having reached such stature, it was just proper for her to meet with the UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon.

Why Brad Pitt Was Not At The Meeting

While it was unclear as to why Angelina Jolie met with Ban Ki-moon without Brad Pitt tagging along, perhaps it was just proper for Pitt to stay at their $21,000 rental home in London. After all, Angelina Jolie was doing something political in nature and meeting Ban Ki-moon may not be considered as a family affair where Pitt should be tagging along.

US Magazine reported that the reason why Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt moved to their new London home was for the latter's convenience. Their new home, for six months, allows Pitt to be close to the location of his 2017 "World War Z" sequel. It could be possible that at the time Angelina Jolie met Ban Ki-moon, Brad Pitt was at the set of "World War Z" fighting off zombies.

Angelina Jolie's Responsibilities As Special Envoy

Angelina Jolie's image of goodwill extraordinaire was highlighted more in 2012, when High Commissioner António Guterres made her his Special Envoy. If Jolie used to carry out special missions to the most remote regions of the world when she was the UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, her being Special Envoy added more responsibilities. Angelina Jolie's new role necessitated her to focus on mass population displacement.

So whether Angelina Jolie's recent meeting with Ban Ki-moon has something to do with divorce rumors plaguing her relationship with husband Brad Pitt, it could be anybody's guess. Fact remains that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are still living together under the same roof with their six kids, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne.
