Hollywood’s popular couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is having marital troubles and the reason behind it is Jolie’s eating disorder, according to a report. Hollywood Life, which cited Star magazine, reported that Pitt gave Jolie a “divorce ultimatum” to check into rehab before it was “too late.”

“He [Pitt] told her if she [Jolie] doesn’t check into rehab for her eating disorder, he’s leaving and taking the kids with him,” a source told the magazine, according to Hollywood Life. "He wants Angie to focus on herself and her family, before it’s too late. Brad told her he doesn’t want their kids exposed to this situation any longer, and he’s not going to stand by and watch while the mother of his children kills herself."

The details of the report were not officially validated by the couple, but Gossip Cop reported Thursday that Star magazine’s claims were false. A source close to the couple told the gossip debunking site that the “divorce ultimatum” was “totally untrue” and the two were not heading toward a divorce.

Pitt and Jolie have been with each other for 10 years and married last year. They have three biological children together and three adopted children.
