Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were once the most loved celebrity couple in Hollywood. But the start of their relationship was marred by controversies. Pitt and Jolie worked together for the movie, Mr. And Mrs. Smith. According to sources, the two had an affair even though Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston at that time. In fact, in one particular interview, Jolie went on to say that she and Brad were together since the making of the movie. Eventually, Brad and Jennifer’s marriage culminated in a divorce, and later on, we were all graced with Brangelina. The two have always looked stunning together, and their red carpet appearances were something their fans always looked forward to. The world couldn’t have enough of the two. Though they were together for quite a long time, they got married in 2014. By 2016, though, the couple admitted that they were going their separate ways. Now, things have become even more complicated as they are now fighting for their kids’ custody.
So What’s The Latest Issue?
Even though the divorce seems to have been finalized, the couple is still fighting over co-parenting. Angelina Jolie had alleged a few days back that Brad Pitt was not paying enough for child support. Pitt’s lawyers, on the other hand, had replied that not only was Pitt paying $1.3 million for child support, he had also given a loan of $8 million to Jolie so that she could buy a house where she can stay with all six of her kids. Jolie was also unhappy that Pitt could see the children despite having expressed that she didn’t want that. But to her dismay, the judge’s order went in favor for Brad Pitt as their children’s growth might be problematic if he wouldn’t be around. Together, Brad and Angelina have six children whose ages range from 10 to 16 — three of them are their biological children and three are adopted. Maddox, Pax, and Zahara are adopted, while Shiloh and the twins, Vivienne and Knox, are their own.
Angelina Jolie’s attorney has replied that the loan should not be even mentioned in this regard. As for the child support paid by Brad Pitt, it should come voluntarily from the father without the court’s intervention. All Jolie is asking is for Pitt to pay for 50% of the child support. This does not even include the costs that Jolie herself bore in the last two years.
How Did It All Start?
It was reported that it all started with a flight where Pitt and Jolie were traveling with their kids. Jolie went on to say that she decided to end the relationship when Brad Pitt had lost his temper in front of his children. Pitt was also investigated by the FBI, and the rest of his family had to move out from their actual house abruptly. He was later cleared of all charges though! It was Pitt’s second marriage, after breaking up with FRIENDS star Jennifer Aniston. As for Jolie, it was her third marriage. When they broke up in 2016, Jolie had cited “irreconcilable differences” as reason for separation. Though it was the favorite excuse given by all celebrities, their fans still accepted it. But what was very much unexpected is this squabble that ensued afterward.
When Times Were Better
As the couple continues fighting with all their might, we can’t help but go back to the happier times when things were really hot between the ex-couple of Hollywood. Despite the fact that Pitt was still married when their love affair started, it didn’t take much time for their fans to warm up to the idea of Brangelina. Whatever the couple did together hit the headlines; hence, word soon got out when they decided to go for adoption. Jolie had already adopted Maddox, and Pitt gave him his name, too. Soon, they had six children together. Six children, twelve years of togetherness, and a few joint ownership of high profile real-estates including a vineyard – Brangelina was the real deal. But fate had plans for them clearly!
Since the divorce happened, both parties have been going through a rough patch. With the case going on for two years now, it is stressful no doubt. Pitt reportedly went to a rehab to get rid of some of his addictions that he had gotten when he couldn’t cope with the divorce. Jolie had also declared that it is a tough time for all of them and how she wished it would end soon. No wonder both of them want to bifurcate their marital status and give some closure to the marriage. We really hope things will get better soon because who knows what the kids are going through in this emotional turmoil!
