Reports that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are on the verge of splitting up have been described as “complete lies” by a member of the actor's family.

On Sunday, the News of the World claimed the pair – who are not married – had visited a divorce lawyer in order to discuss an amicable separation.

The newspaper said this included what to do with their £205million and six children, three of whom are adopted.

However, the report has already been denied by multiple sources – and now an unnamed member of Brad's family has also rubbished the claims.

The insider told RadarOnline: “There is no truth to the stories at all.”

The couple, who met on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith in 2004, have so far failed to comment on the speculation.

Meanwhile, a new report today claims Brad has purchased a two-bedroom house in the Hollywood Hills.
