Marion Cotillard absolutely devastated by allegations she slept with Brad Pitt
Within an hour of TMZ’s bombshell that Brangelina Is Over, Page Six published a surprisingly dishy piece about how Angelina Jolie had hired a private investigator to look into her suspicions that Brad Pitt was cheating on her. Page Six alleged that the private investigator learned that Brad was screwing around with his then-costar Marion Cotillard, plus something about drugs, Russian hookers and a midlife crisis. Just as quickly as that story came out, TMZ had another exclusive. “Sources” insisted that no, there was no affair between Brad and Marion and that Angelina for-real filed for divorce because of the kids and because of Brad’s anger/substance abuse issues. Still, people continue to speculate about Brarion/Pittillard (EH?) because people are convinced that it would be “karma” for Angelina Jolie to have to deal with Brad’s infidelity.
So what does Marion think of all this? Well, she’s not saying anything on the record… yet. But sources are still being pretty chatty.
In the wake of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s shocking split, speculation has surfaced about the actor’s relationship with costar Marion Cotillard. A source tells PEOPLE, however, that the pair’s breakup has nothing to do with Cotillard, who is starring with Pitt in the upcoming World War II drama Allied.
The Daily Mail went further, claiming that Marion is “absolutely devastated” that she’s being associated with the Brangelina Split.
Marion Cotillard is said to ‘absolutely devastated’ by claims that she is the scarlet woman in the break up of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The 40-year-old French star is in a relationship with fellow actor Guillaume Canet, 43.
‘Marion and Guillaume are blissfully happy, and these kind of claims are not what Marion wants to be hearing,’ said a source close to Marion’s family in her home city of Paris.
‘Claims that she’s cheating on Guillaume with Brad will leave her absolutely devastated. This doesn’t sound like her at all.’
Cotillard gave birth to Marcel, five, while still working extremely hard at her career, but she has recently indicated that she wants a ‘quieter life’, said the source.
‘She enjoys her family time and wants to enjoy more of it,’ said the source. ‘All this fuss will be a huge shock to her.’
Do you believe it? Do you believe that Marion would never, ever cheat on Canet? Personally, I always believed that Marion hooked up with Michael Fassbender while they filmed Macbeth, so it’s not a stretch for me to believe that she hooked up with another costar. Maybe it’s just the stereotypes we have about French people and their non-traditional views on monogamy. C’est la vie.
Alternate theory: the Brangelina split is being used as guerilla marketing for Allied. Like, the same day that we learn that Angelina filed for divorce, they put out a new teaser trailer. The comments on this tweet are AMAZING.

Last thing… the photos I’m using in this post are of Marion on September 15th. People were already saying that Marion has been looking pregnant, and after yesterday’s shenanigans, people said it’s possibly Brad Pitt’s baby. And here’s a late-breaking update: Marion has confirmed that she is in fact pregnant. The timeline, people. THE TIMELINE.
