London, Jan 25 (Inditop.com) Hollywood actor Brad Pitt’s brother has begged the star to leave his partner Angelina Jolie because their family was being torn apart.

Brother Doug, 41, visited Pitt in New York over Christmas and urged him to pull the plug on the relationship because it was making the actor and his family unhappy, reported thesun.co.uk.

The couple have struggled during the last 12 months of their five-year relationship but are still trying to make it work for their six children.

Despite having never wed, reports claimed the couple have visited a top Beverly Hills divorce lawyer and signed a $330 million split deal to carve up their assets.
