Brad Pitt reportedly wanted one more chance with his wife Angelina Jolie, saying: 'She's crazy, but I still love her.'
According to The Sun, the actor wanted to give things another go, but is said to have branded her close female friends a 'coven' after he felt she had been 'brainwashed by her inner circle.'
Brad apparently became annoyed after his wife appointed William Hague's former colleagues Arminka Helic, 48, and Chloe Dalton, 37, to assist her with her political career, leading to arguments on holiday.
He became dissatisfied with the appointment of two former political aides who allegedly demanded Brad lose half the couple’s support staff.

The paper reports that Brad, 52, did not like former Bosnian refugee Arminka's meetings with his wife.
A source told the paper: 'Brad sees the women as a coven. He was furious at some of Arminka’s decisions, [who were brought in to handle her public image - he is also said to have disagreed with some of the advice she gave regarding their staff.]
'He felt she and Chloe, who seemed to travel everywhere with the family, were brainwashing Angelina from the start. The rows they had at the London house were legendary. It was utter carnage.
'They have always made decisions together — suddenly it was Angelina making them with her two advisers. He felt he was married to a politician all of a sudden.'

Angelina rose via a campaign with former Foreign Secretary William Hague to become a Baroness, with a seat in the House of Lords.
Lady Helic, 48, is probably the key person on ‘Team Angie’ as the actress braces herself for the aftermath of her decision to divorce Brad Pitt.
A source told Daily Mail's Alison Boshoff that Lady Helic is ‘smart, strong, and impeccably loyal’, adding that she is Angelina’s ‘assistant, adviser and best friend’.

Angelina watched Lady Helic be admitted to the House of Lords in 2014. They often travel together; recent trips include a visit to the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands and one to Burma at election time last summer.
Boshoff adds that the baroness’s place in Jolie’s inner circle is so central that she was with her this week at the moment the news of her divorce became public.
She adds: 'Officially, her job is to head Angelina’s charity Jolie Pitt Dalton Helic, known as JPDH.
'It is named after Angelina, Lady Helic and the peer’s friend Chloe Dalton, who writes speeches for the organisation.'
