Marion Cotillard Dispels Rumours, Announces Pregnancy: Statement

Following on from the news - read the announcement HERE - that the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is over, French actress Marion Cotillard, who is married to French actor / director Guillaume Canet, found herself at the centre of the media storm, and has had to repond to rumours she has had an affair with her current co-star Brad.

Sources (it's always the 'sources') had told sites like Page Six that a private investigator had confirmed that Brad was having an affair with Marion while they filmed their upcoming film 'Allied'.

To prove timing is everything, the trailer dropped soon after - see it HERE.

Today, she refuted the affair claims... with class.

She also announced she is pregnant with her second child with Guillaume; they already have a five year-old son named Marcel.

The actress also sent well wishes to both Jolie and Pitt during "this 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."

She then translated the message into French.

With all my love Marion Ceci sera la première et seule réaction que j'aurai concernant la déferlante inouïe qui à commencé il y a de ça 24 heures et à laquelle je suis mêlée malgré moi. Je n'ai pas pour habitude de commenter ni de prendre au sérieux le tas d'absurdités déversées à 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 rencontré il y a quelques années l'homme de ma vie , le père de notre fils et du bébé que nous attendons aujourd'hui. Il est mon amour, mon meilleur ami et le seul homme dont j'ai besoin. Ensuite, à ceux qui me prétendent dévastée, je vais très bien merci. Ce genre d'inventions aberrantes ne m'affectent en aucun cas. Et pour finir, à la "presse", à tous les haters, trolls et consorts qui ont le jugement si rapide je vous souhaite sincèrement... un prompt rétablissement. Ceci dit et un peu plus sérieusement, je souhaite à 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
