By now, we’ve heard just about every possible explanation for Angelina Jolie’s surprise to decision to file for divorce from Brad Pitt.

For the most part, accounts concur that Pitt and Jolie parted ways due to an altercation aboard a private plane that led to Pitt being investigated for child abuse after his teenage son Maddox intervened.

Ugly stuff, to be sure.

Of course, when a couple parts ways after twelve years and six kids together, it’s a safe bet that there’s more behind the decision to split than just one incident, no matter how ugly.

So it’s not surprising that new explanations for the Brangelina breakup continue to surface even after both camps implicitly confirmed that the plane incident was the final straw.

Not surprisingly, rumors of Pitt cheating on Jolie began to spring up on all corners of social media just hours after the split was announced.

Most of those reports had Pitt sleeping around with his Allied co-star, Marion Cotillard.

(Some tabloids decided to mix it up by claiming Brad cheated with Selena Gomez, a coupling that, if it really happened, would surely result in some sort of gossip armageddon.)

Anyway, the cheating rumors have persisted, but now a new mistress’ name is being bandied about…

Or rather, we should say her nationality and a vague physical description is being bandied about.

According to Radar Online, in the weeks leading up to his divorce, Brad went on a trip to Croatia to check out a property he had considered purchasing.

Once there, Pitt reportedly fell for a "Croatian beauty" who’s been described as a virtual Angie doppelganger.

The woman admitted to being "friendly" with Brad, but says that’s as far as the relationship goes.

However, a friend of hers tells Radar that the two of them were more than just friends:

“She told me: ‘I cheated with him in Angelina’s bed!’ She didn’t give me any details. All I know he was quite taken with her," says the insider.

Another source confirmed that tryst took place, saying:

“The only girl who really captured his fancy while he was here was a beautiful brunette who is a dead-ringer for Angie.”

It’s unclear exactly how the two of them would have done it "in Angelina’s bed" if they met in Croatia, but maybe the first source just wanted to spice the story up a bit.

Apparently her friend sleeping with a married Brad Pitt isn’t a wild enough story for her.
