Even as Angelina Jolie goes through with divorce proceedings, she is still reportedly "devastated" about the dissolution of her relationship with Brad Pitt.

It can be painful to end an 11-year relationship, even with all the bad times considered. That's what Jolie is apparently dealing with as she prepares to divorce from Pitt. Ultimately, though, she is doing what she needs to do to protect their six children.

"Angelina is devastated that it has come to this but will do everything in her power to protect her family," an insider told Us Weekly, of the divorce.

A representative for Jolie said the day following the divorce news that the "decision was made for the health of the family."

Meanwhile, Pitt has been distraught all week after being blindsided by his wife's decision.

"He is beside himself and has been crying. He was completely caught off guard and blindsided and had no idea she would do this," a different insider told Us Weekly. "Angelina filed the court papers a minute before the courts closed on Monday night. He didn't have a lawyer or anything."

In the mean time, there have been all sorts of rumors that Pitt cheated on Jolie with his Allied co-star, Marion Cotillard, though the French actress has vehemently denied this. The actress took to Instagram to get all of her feelings out on the nasty tabloid reports.

 This is going to be my first and only reaction to the whirlwind news that broke 24 hours ago and that I was swept up into. I am not used to commenting on things like this nor taking them seriously but as this situation is spiraling and affecting people I love, I have to speak up. Firstly, many years ago, I met the man of my life, father of our son and of the baby we are expecting. He is my love, my best friend, the only one that I need. Secondly to those who have indicated that I am devastated, I am very well thank you. This crafted conversation isn't distressing. And to all the media and the haters who are quick to pass judgment, I sincerely wish you a swift recovery. Finally, I do very much wish that Angelina and Brad, both whom I deeply respect, will find peace in this very tumultuous moment. With all my love Marion Ceci sera la première et seule réaction que j'aurai concernant la déferlante inouïe qui à commencé il y a de ça 24 heures et à laquelle je suis mêlée malgré moi. Je n'ai pas pour habitude de commenter ni de prendre au sérieux le tas d'absurdités déversées à mon sujet mais la situation prenant une telle tournure et affectant des gens que j'aime, je me dois de m'exprimer. Pour commencer, j'ai rencontré il y a quelques années l'homme de ma vie , le père de notre fils et du bébé que nous attendons aujourd'hui. Il est mon amour, mon meilleur ami et le seul homme dont j'ai besoin. Ensuite, à ceux qui me prétendent dévastée, je vais très bien merci. Ce genre d'inventions aberrantes ne m'affecte en aucun cas. Et pour finir, à la "presse", à tous les haters, trolls et consorts qui ont le jugement si rapide je vous souhaite sincèrement... un prompt rétablissement. Ceci dit et un peu plus sérieusement, je souhaite à Angelina et Brad, deux personnes pour qui j'ai un profond respect, de trouver la paix dans ce moment tumultueux. Avec tout mon amour. Marion
