On March 28, Daily Mail quoted a separate source to reveal that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are negotiating and gradually reaching the finish line in the legal battle that has lasted from 2016 to the present.
The final decision is expected to be made this summer.
Initially, while Angelina wanted full custody, Brad fought to reach a 50/50 agreement regarding the six children. However, according to insiders, the actor born in 1963 is no longer interested in this issue.
That means the 49-year-old woman will retain primary custody of the child, and her ex-husband will be allowed visitation.
The factor that led to that decision was that most of their children were adults. Maddox (23 years old), Pax Thien (21 years old) and Zahara (19 years old) are not bound by any custody agreement. Currently, only Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne are under 18 years old. However, Shiloh soon surpassed that milestone in May.
In addition, Brad’s source used the word “distant” to describe the relationship between the Oscar winner and his children. All three eldest children have a hostile attitude towards their father, most obviously Pax Thien.
According to Daily Mail , the Vietnamese-born adopted child is said to have not spoken to the Bullet Train star since the conflict on a private plane in 2016. Gen Z youth don’t even consider Brad Pitt as a parent anymore.
Back in 2023, the international press discovered that Pax Thien used many harsh words such as “world-class bastard” or “despicable person” to talk about Brad on his personal Instagram account on Father’s Day this year. 2020.
Similarly, Maddox viewed his adoptive father as an invisible person who did not contact or talk. Zahara completely removed her father’s last name from her name.
Brad Pitt and Angelina have not commented on the above news.

Previously, Brad Pitt’s acquaintance claimed that prolonging the divorce battle was Angelina Jolie’s plot to keep her children with her and prevent her ex-husband from interfering in the children’s growth process. She plans to withdraw the lawsuit when everyone reaches adulthood.
The actress’s friends immediately rejected the above inference: “Brad has no one to blame but himself. All Angelina wants is to heal the family’s wounds and move on.”
Not only did she win the custody battle, actress Maleficent also prevailed in a lawsuit with her ex-husband related to common property in France, the Château Miraval estate.
During a hearing in mid-March in Los Angeles, the judge ruled for the U50 female director, denying 5 out of 7 charges that Brad aimed at her.
“The judge dismissed most of Mr. Pitt’s claims because they had no legal basis. Mr. Pitt’s lawsuit never involved a business dispute. Instead, it is about his efforts to cover up serious abuse. We are very happy that the judge dismissed many of Mr. Pitt’s allegations,” Jolie’s lawyer, Paul Murphy, said in an interview with Entertainment Tonigh .
The legal representative emphasized that Angelina has no ill will towards her ex-husband. The beauty only hopes that her ex-husband will be freed from the meaningless lawsuit, stop the relentless attacks, and help her family heal their wounds.
