Marion Cotillard's Boyfriend, Guillaume Canet, Responds To Brangelina Affair Rumors

On the spectrum of worst case scenarios, finding your significant other in an alleged affair with Brad Pitt ranks somewhere between sleeping with your twin and dying a slow, painful death in a vat of quicksand.

Unfortunately, thats exactly the position Marion Cotillards longtime partner, actor and director Guillaume Canet, has been in after Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt earlier this week.

Once the celebrity-sized mushroom cloud settled, rumors of an affair between Pitt and Cotillard, who play lovers in the upcoming World War II drama Allied, surfaced as a possible cause for the Brangelina implosion. However, Cotillard swiftly denied any romantic entanglement with Pitt in an Instagram post, writing that she hopes Brad and Angelina will find peace in this very tumultuous moment.

This is going to be my first and only reaction to the whirlwind news that broke 24 hours ago and that I was swept up into. I am not used to commenting on things like this nor taking them seriously but as this situation is spiraling and affecting people I love, I have to speak up. Firstly, many years ago, I met the man of my life, father of our son and of the baby we are expecting. He is my love, my best friend, the only one that I need. Secondly to those who have indicated that I am devastated, I am very well thank you. This crafted conversation isn't distressing. And to all the media and the haters who are quick to pass judgment, I sincerely wish you a swift recovery. Finally, I do very much wish that Angelina and Brad, both whom I deeply respect, will find peace in this very tumultuous moment. With all my love Marion Ceci sera la premire et seule raction que j'aurai concernant la dferlante inoue qui commenc il y a de a 24 heures et laquelle je suis mle malgr moi. Je n'ai pas pour habitude de commenter ni de prendre au srieux le tas d'absurdits dverses mon sujet mais la situation prenant une telle tournure et affectant des gens que j'aime, je me dois de m'exprimer. Pour commencer, j'ai rencontr il y a quelques annes l'homme de ma vie , le pre de notre fils et du bb que nous attendons aujourd'hui. Il est mon amour, mon meilleur ami et le seul homme dont j'ai besoin. Ensuite, ceux qui me prtendent dvaste, je vais trs bien merci. Ce genre d'inventions aberrantes ne m'affecte en aucun cas. Et pour finir, la "presse", tous les haters, trolls et consorts qui ont le jugement si rapide je vous souhaite sincrement... un prompt rtablissement. Ceci dit et un peu plus srieusement, je souhaite Angelina et Brad, deux personnes pour qui j'ai un profond respect, de trouver la paix dans ce moment tumultueux. Avec tout mon amour. Marion
