It’s almost two months since Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie shocked the world with news of their split, and plenty of drama has unfolded since.
In the latest update, it has emerged that Brad has filed for joint custody of the former couple’s six children: Maddox, 15; Pax, 12; Zahara, 11; Shiloh, 10; and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
Brad’s petition is challenging Angelina’s own plea for sole physical custody of the kids.
Screenshots of Brad’s legal documents have been doing the rounds this morning, and they reveal that the World War Z star listed ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason behind the split.
Relations have so far been strained between the former lovebirds, particularly amid claims that Brad was ‘verbally and physically abusive’ towards eldest child Maddox, during a family flight back in the summer.
In response to the claims, Angelina was granted temporary sole physical custody of all six kids, with Brad being granted supervised visits.
The award-winning actor is also said to have been investigated by the FBI, over child abuse allegations.
Let’s hope that, whatever the outcome, these children get the love and support they need.
