Her lawyer says the decision was made for the health of the family and has asked that they be given privacy.
The couple's romance began as the two co-starred in action movie Mr & Mrs Smith in 2004.
The couple married in 2014 and have six children together, three of whom were adopted internationally.
The actors were acknowledged as Hollywood's most formidable power couple. The celebrity press even gave them a joint brand name of "Brangelina".
But their personal lives and marriage came under constant media scrutiny, with regular often unfounded claims about relationship difficulties.
It now appears we have seen the back of "Brangelina". In her divorce filing, Jolie lists the date of separation as Sept. 15, 2016.
