LONDON: Madame Tussauds has separated the wax statues of Hollywood's former power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt after the actress filed for divorce.

The museum posted a picture of the statues placed apart on their official Twitter page.

Following the split, Jolie's wax figure is placed next to actress Nicole Kidman's statue, and Pitt's figure is positioned close to Morgan Freeman's.

Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt on Monday, September 19, citing irreconcilable differences.

The couple had been together for 10 years before tying the knot in 2014.

Sources said Jolie took the decision because she wasn't happy with Pitt's parenting ways.
