Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are, allegedly, facing another major issue in their ongoing custody battle.
In its Jan. 18 issue, National Enquirer claimed that Pitt and Jolie are not only fighting for the custody of their kids; they’re also fighting over their pets.
A source claimed that Pitt wants to have joint custody of some of the animals that Jolie and their kids have at home because he helped pick and raise them.
The actor also knows that his kids would want to spend more time at his house if they’re pets are there.
So, in order to bribe his minor children for overnight stays, Pitt bought houses, treats, food, and more for their pets.
“Angie’s house is full of animals, many of which Brad helped choose and raise. And while he doesn’t want full-term custody of them, he’d like to at least have them accompany the kids when they visit,” the source said.
The source also claimed that Pitt is upset with Jolie for dragging their custody battle. So, he’s also doing his fair share of bold moves to threaten his ex-wife.
According to the source, the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood actor is confident that he will be granted joint custody of his family’s pets because he is within his rights.
As of late, Jolie and Pitt’s lawyers have not yet said anything about the exes fighting over the custody of their pets.
This is also very unlikely because the A-listers’ pets currently reside with the actress and their children.
So, transferring them to Pitt’s home will just stress the pets out. And it’s unlikely to encourage his kids to stay at his house overnight.
In recent weeks, there hasn’t also been any update regarding Pitt and Jolie’s custody battle.
The last update came just before the holidays when Page Six claimed that the A-listers’ battle is still raging into the holidays.
A source said that things are never simple between Pitt and Jolie every Christmas, New Year, and during their children’s birthdays.
The source also seemingly blamed Pitt for leaking his plans with his children every time there’s an occasion.
For instance, there were reports that Pitt planned a pizza party with his kids to celebrate Shiloh’s birthday. However, the party never happened.
Pitt and Jolie announced their divorce in 2016 after the former, allegedly, got into an altercation with their eldest son, Maddox.
