Breakups

If Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts look totally settled into the single life, it's because they've been at it for almost a year ... even though they just announced their breakup.

The "Ray Donovan" star looked pretty chill riding his bicycle Monday in NYC -- while Naomi, and her little dog, took a stroll in the city within a few hours of going public with the split.

Sources told TMZ the 11 year relationship was on the rocks way back in January. In fact, we were told they were already living separately in NYC, and had worked out co-parenting arrangements. Reps for Naomi and Liev denied there was trouble, and pointed to the fact they went to the Oscars together in February.

That's the thing about Hollywood appearances ... sometimes they're just that.

Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber have ended their 11-year relationship ... TMZ has confirmed.

They released a joint statement saying, "Over the past few months we've come to the conclusion that the best way forward for us as a family is to separate as a couple."

TMZ learned they were on shaky ground as early as January, when they first discussed splitting, and were already living apart.

They say they'll still be raising their sons -- 9-year-old Alexander and 7-year-old Samuel -- together during "this new phase" of their relationship.

Liev and Naomi were not married, but had been together since 2005 ... shortly before their first film together, "The Painted Veil," was released.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are not going to have big financial issues, because they were only married for 2 years and they might have been expecting a divorce since day 1 ... 'cause they have a prenup spelling out exactly who gets what ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the couple tell us their prenuptial agreement is ironclad and details the specifics of their combined fortune ... a reported $400 mil.

Brangelina have 12 total properties together ... all of which they snatched up either before they were married or before they were even dating. 7 of those belong to Brad, 2 to Angie and 3 which they bought together prior to tying the knot in 2014.

It's unclear who exactly shelled out what for those 3 properties, which include a vineyard in France, a mansion in New Orleans and an apartment in NY ... but we're told the prenup makes divvying all that up simple.

Rather than properties being an issue in the divorce, we're told CUSTODY of their kids will be where the war really plays out.

As we reported ... Brad plans to fight for joint physical custody of their 6 children.

Lindsay Lohan did NOT pay the bills during her relationship with Egor Tarabasov -- in fact, it's exactly the opposite ... so say sources close to Egor.

Lindsay went on Russian TV and said Egor was a slacker who didn't contribute a dime to the relationship.

But Egor claims HE was the breadwinner between the two ... so much so he had to cover thousands of dollars in bills Lindsay racked up during the filming her latest movie.

Our source says Lindsay had access to Egor's credit card, and she used it often to snatch up gifts for herself and her entire fam. As for that emerald engagement ring ... we're told Lindsay picked it alright, but didn't pay for it. It was all Egor.

Egor's got a steady income through a bunch of investments, and even serves as director for a couple European firms ... so he's got cash to blow.

As we reported ... Egor also denies Lindsay's allegations that he abused her.

Angelina Jolie is so obsessed with becoming the head of the United Nations ... it caused major marital issues with Brad Pitt.

Sources close to the couple tell us ... Brad became increasingly upset over Angelina's political ambitions ... we're told her dream is to become the top UN official ... she was never specific. Toward that end, we're told she has 2 political advisers and a "war room" to help with decisions and image.

Brad, we're told, was especially upset that Angelina had taken the kids to various war-torn countries, including Lebanon and Iraq. We're told Angelina would always make sure to bring a security team that was the best of the best on her trips ... but for Brad, it still wasn't enough.

We're told things got extremely tense when Brad and Angie argued over taking the kids to Syria to help rebuild the war torn country..

Our sources say Brad was always supportive of Jolie's solo charity work, but travels with the kids became a bone of contention for several years.

Rikki Rockett's estranged wife claims the Poison drummer completely cut her and their 2 kids off -- and she's demanding he start forking over the cash again.

Rikki filed for divorce from Melanie Rockett last year and claims he's willing to pay exactly what he owes her under their prenup.

Melanie has fired back it's totally unfair, and as for that prenup ... she says she was pressured to sign the night before their 2008 wedding, claiming Rikki threatened to call it off if she didn't.

Rikki, who's repped by Mark Gross, calls BS, saying Melanie knew well in advance about the prenup and she's just trying to mooch off him because she doesn't want to work.

She says she can't get a job due to a panoply of health issues ... and she truly needs the money.

Rikki also says he's paying child support.

Jennifer Aniston surfaced in NYC and was bombarded with the news about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, and her reaction proves ... she's a pretty good actress.

The paps got Jennifer Thursday evening and, of course, asked what she thought about her ex getting divorced. Check out the pics ... she definitely looks shocked. But maybe that's more about the attention, because there's NO WAY she didn't know what's going down.

Lindsay Lohan had to hide her abusive relationship with Egor Tarabasov, and she also paid through the nose to keep them afloat ... at least that's what she claimed on Russian TV.

During her interview with Russia's Channel One, Lindsay said Egor hit her throughout their relationship ... to the point she had to cover her bruises.

She also said she supported Egor financially ... even buying her own engagement ring -- which would explain why she's still wearing the emerald since they split. Kinda shocking because Egor is the son of a super wealthy Russian businessman.

Lindsay went on to say the abuse made her more like her mom, Dina ... who, of course, had a rocky and abusive relationship with Michael Lohan.

As we first reported, Lindsay was very keen on meeting President Putin while she's in Russia ... and she doubled down on that during the interview, saying ... "I really like him, he is very persistent." Whatever that means.

Egor's already firing back -- his rep tells us Lindsay's claims are all false, and he'll pursue legal action to clear his name.

WNBA star Candace Parker says there's NO WAY we've seen the last of Brangelina ... telling TMZ Sports she thinks -- and hopes -- the two will come to their senses and stay together.

The news of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's decision to split took pretty much everyone by surprise ... and Parker was no exception.

"I'm devastated," the 2 time MVP says. "I still think they're gonna get back together. I'm still going for they're gonna go to court and they're gonna throw it out."

Angelina Jolie isn't going to get her way when it comes to custody ... at least if Brad Pitt has anything to say about it, because TMZ has learned he'll fight and fight hard for joint physical custody of their 6 kids.

Sources connected with Brad tell us, Angelina is dreaming if she thinks she can take his kids away from him. We broke the story, Angelina wants sole physical custody of the children ... she wants a judge to give him visitation, but that's it.

Our sources tell us Brad says, "There's no chance that's going to happen." Pitt wants joint custody ... he doesn't want to interfere with Angelina's ability to be a co-parent, but he won't allow her to thwart him.

This now promises to become the flash point in the divorce and it has the potential to become a fierce legal battle.

That said, our Brad sources say he's quick to add Angelina's a "great mother" and doesn't want to hurt her in the divorce. The sources say Brad and Angelina haven't gotten along for months and have had frank talks about divorce several times, so this wasn't a shock. Nevertheless, he's still devastated.

As we reported, our Angelina sources claim Brad heavily indulges in weed and alcohol and that, combined with what she claims is an anger problem, poses a danger to their kids.

Our Brad sources insist ... he's never put his kids in danger ... ever.

Sofia Richie is one resilient 18-year-old ... hitting the town just days after breaking up with the Biebs.

Justin's ex chowed down at Craig's in WeHo Tuesday night ... and she clowned with the photogs on the way out.

Adele is so shaken by the "end of an era," she dedicated her NYC concert to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt -- and it doesn't seem like she was kidding.

Between songs at her Madison Square Garden gig Tuesday night, Adele blurted out ... "Brangelina are broken up!" She admitted the celeb split had been on her mind all day, and this was going to be her moment to work out some feelings. One big giant therapy session ... except her fans were paying.

Check out the clip, if you've seen Adele in concert, you know girl likes to chat. A lot.

Makes ya wonder though ... is Jennifer Aniston an Adele fan?

Leave it to Magic Johnson to make you feel better about Angelina Jolie calling it quits with Brad Pitt -- in fact, he's still hoping they can work things out.

Magic turned marriage therapist in Bev Hills Tuesday afternoon -- a few hours after TMZ broke the big D news -- and he had some sage advice for Brad and Angie.

As we've reported, there are already signs it's going to be a nasty split ... but somehow Magic's smile makes you think there's still a shot.

"Modern Family" creator Steve Levitan has a new idea for a functional modern family ... lose the wife who drags him to court for daring to visit his daughter.

Levitan -- who grosses $2.4 million a month -- is in the throes of a super nasty divorce in which his wife has now twice tried, unsuccessfully, to keep him away from the family home.

The latest blowup occurred the day before the Emmys. Steve invited his daughter, Hannah, to come home from college for the weekend so he could take her to the awards ceremony. Hannah was staying at the family home with her mom, Krista, when Steve drove up to take her for a drink.

Steve says he was on a public sidewalk when Hannah came up to hug him. Krista was out of town, but a burly security guard was ready to pounce. The guard got out of a car, walked up to Steve and said, "Can I help you with something." Steve simply responded, "No."

But Steve was pissed, saying in legal docs he felt like he was being treated like a criminal.

Krista ran to court Tuesday, asking a judge for a restraining order ... keeping him a hundred yards from the family home. She made all sorts of allegations, including aggressive courtroom conduct. She said he tried to intimidate her in the courthouse cafeteria by staring her down.

She also says he assaulted her back in May at their son's volleyball awards ceremony by grabbing her by the arms and saying, "Get ready for World War III."

The judge denied her request for a restraining order. This is the second time Krista's been shut down in court for a restraining order.

Angelina Jolie has put her kids at risk by calling out Brad Pitt as a bad dad ... so claim sources connected to Brad.

We're told Pitt is "furious" at Angelina for allegedly spinning stories that he poses a risk to their kids because of anger issues fueled by weed and alcohol. Pitt says there's now a bounty on the heads of the entire family, because they've now become a prime target for the gaggle of paparazzi.

We're told the way Brad put it is this ... "She's just unleashed hell."

The perimeter of their Hollywood Hills home is now blanketed by photogs, and the LAPD is now patrolling at regular intervals.

We're told Brad had conversations with Angelina over the last few days and pleaded for her to handle the divorce "like adults." He wanted to low-key it for the benefit of the kids. Instead, he says, she went scorched earth by asking for sole physical custody and suggesting he's a risky dad.

Brad, we're told, is angry at Angelina and fearful for their kids.

We just broke the sad news to Steph Curry about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

His reaction -- "Pray for them."
