Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s never-ending custody battle has allegedly started to affect their children’s relationship with each other.
In its September 27 issue, National Enquirer claimed that Pitt and Jolie’s three older kids, Maddox, Pax, and Zahara don’t want to have anything to do with their dad.
The exes’ younger children, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox are still hoping that their parents would reconcile one day.
A source said that all six kids are very aware of what’s happening to their parents because they have access to the news. And they are not thrilled because it has affected their lives tremendously.
Now, the siblings are even feuding because some of them want to completely freeze out Pitt, while others want to maintain a relationship with the actor.
“Shiloh and the twins are devastated by it all and miss their dad desperately. They still have this dream that he and their mom can somehow be friends again life will go back to normal,” the source said.
The insider added that Pitt and Jolie’s children try to discuss the custody battle amongst themselves. But since they have different opinions and stands on the matter, they end up getting into arguments and blowout fights.
“This is going to get a whole lot worse if and when they take the stand once the case resumes. It could cause more tension among the kids, and they may even be pitted against each other,” the source said.
As of late, it is still unclear whether Pitt and Jolie’s kids would ever be allowed to testify against their dad. After all, Jolie recently told The Guardian that her 17-year-old daughter was banned from speaking up against the actor.
It is also unclear if the tabloid’s claims are true because Pitt and Jolie’s children always show a united front whenever they’re out in public. There’s no indication that they have been having fights behind closed doors.
And even if they are fighting, this is done in a private setting so there’s no way for a tabloid to know all these details about the rumored feud.
The tabloids have been saying time and again that Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox want to reconcile with their dad. However, there’s also no proof that this is what they want because they have not publicly addressed their parents’ custody battle.
