For a couple believed to be on the brink of splitting, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie put on an Oscar-worthy performance of togetherness at the Super Bowl.
And just hours after the A-list couple were spotted for the first time in public since rumors of their imminent demise, they went one step further by issuing a legal statement insisting that they have no intention of ending their relationship.
Lawyers for the couple said that they are not about to split and would consider suing any media outlets who continue publishing the ‘false allegations’.
The couple’s lawyer Keith Schilling said in a statement: ‘We can confirm unequivocally… that the allegations are false as well as intrusive.’
The legal move follows weeks of speculation about their five-year relationship though Jolie, 34, and Pitt, 46, have previously ignored growing rumours that all is not well.
Their denial comes just hours after the Hollywood couple took their eldest son Maddox, eight, to watch the New Orleans Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami yesterday, in a very public display of affection.
During the game, the couple were seen kissing, hugging and laughing together as they cheered on the Saints’ dramatic 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts which provided such an emotional moment for the city of New Orleans, devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
And as they watched the game from their prime location seats, they gave photographers plenty to watch as they cuddled up for the cameras with enthusiastic, toothy grins.
While not known for their huge interest in American football, Pitt and Jolie are big supporters of New Orleans and own a $3.5million 1830s house in the historic Louisiana city.
Their hugs and kisses follow weeks of speculation about their five-year relationship, with reports suggesting they have signed legal papers over their £200million fortune and custody of their six children.
Jolie, 34, and Pitt, 46, will no doubt be hoping their public outing on the biggest night’s of America’s sporting calendar will quash speculation all is not well in their relationship.
With Jolie dressed down in her signature black, the couple hoped to make a low-key entrance as they dashed through the stadium to take their seats for the big game.
It was the first time they’d been pictured together in over a month – after last being photographed out dining in New York on January 6.
Pitt and Jolie both attended the Directors Guild of America Awards over a week ago, but arrived separately and declined to be photographed together.
The remaining five of their six children appeared to miss out on the fun, but Cambodian-born Maddox got into the spirit of the game wearing a black and gold Saints jersey with quarterback Drew Brees’ number nine on the front.
Since then, the couple have been involved in several projects to help rebuild the city in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
