And despite his wife’s name being dragged into the drama, Justin’s response was dignified.

“As a child of divorce, all I can say is that’s terrible news for those children, and that’s all you can really say.”

Adding, “It’s boring to sort of comment on anything else. People are having a bad time. That’s horrible.”

Justin also took the time to comment on the state of his marriage with Jen, especially now that Brad is single, confirming they are happier than ever.

Meanwhile, Brad Pitt has spoken out for the second time since his heartbreaking marriage breakdown.

“I’m currently focused on my family situation,” Brad explained of skipping his latest work commitment.

The 52-year-old was expected to attend the screening for Voyage of Time, a documentary which the father-of-six narrated.

But in light of his current circumstance, Brad released a statement to E! News explaining that he will no longer be attending the screening.

“Terrence [Malick]’s Voyage of Time is an incredibly beautiful and unique experiential IMAX film for children and families chronicling the birth of time,” Brad said.

“I’m very grateful to be part of such a fascinating and educational project, but I’m currently focused on my family situation and don’t want to distract attention away from this extraordinary film, which I encourage everyone to see.”
