Today, we’re all just trying to find our way in a post-Brangelina world.
The news of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s divorce has split onlookers into two camps: those who couldn’t give a monkeys and respond with Jennifer Aniston jokes, and those romantics who are gutted to see a seemingly happy, stable marriage and family life come to an end.
The split has not just rattled us nobodies in the cheap seats: even George Clooney looked stricken when the news was broken to him – rather insensitively – by CNN.
And last night, Adele spoke of her heartbreak at the news during her concert in New York.

“Brangelina are broken up,” she told the audience. “I mean, I don’t like gossiping, and private lives should be private, but I feel like it’s the end of an era, so I’m dedicating this show tonight to them.
“I’m really sad, genuinely. I don’t know them at all, but I was shocked when I woke up this morning, no word of a lie. I’m glad I spoke about that because it was playing on my mind.”
Adele, in one great note among many, just dedicated her show, "2 hours of misery," to "Brangelina." "End of an era." pic.twitter.com/uNOtfbc8wK

TMZ has the exclusive video of Adele’s tribute that you can watch here.
A class act as always, Adele.
Now maybe Brad and Angie can console themselves by cry-singing along to ‘Hello’ and ‘Someone Like You’?
