Angelina shares Zahara and Vivienne with ex-husband Brad Pitt, in addition to their four other children; Maddox Chivan, 20, Pax Thien, 18, Shiloh Nouvel, 16, and Knox Léon, 13.
After a tumultuous split, she and Brad are still fighting a custody battle over their brood of six — despite filing for divorce six years ago.
In the face of reports claiming that Angelina “will never agree to joint custody,” a source told Us Weekly, “He is very clear that Angie has made every effort to delay and delay the process. All he can do is work with his legal team and file the paperwork while he responds to their claims. Month after month goes by with chunk after chunk of bureaucracy, endless jumping through hoops, and bickering between her attorneys with no solution.’

Angelina has decided to focus on directing and producing for the moment as she has been spotted on the set of her new project Without Blood for the past few weeks.
Without Blood is based on the international bestselling novel of the same name by the Italian writer Alessandro Baricc – with Angelina as screenwriter, director and producer.
Following the film’s announcement, Angelina said: “I am honored to be here in Italy to film this very special material and to have been entrusted by Alessandro Baricco to adapt his book – with its unique poetry and emotion and style to look at war and the questions it raises about what we look for after trauma, loss or injustice.
