It seems like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are trying to work things out and turning over a new leaf. Well, at least, they allegedly did this for their tumultuous split.
It holds true that the two are still engaged in a difficult custody battle over their six children. This happened after Jolie decided to file for divorce on Sept. 20, 2016. However, Entertainment Tonight reports that the actress recently reached out to Pitt to improve their co-parenting relationship.
"Brad and Angelina actually set up a secret meeting at her house," the publication's source says. "It's the first time they have truly gotten together to make things work since their group therapy with the children. Brad and Angie's meeting was a success. They are going to stay with the plan set forth through the courts."
The tipster is further quoted saying, "Angelina decided it was time to try to make things work and Brad was relieved and very ready for the offer."
"Brad has been dedicated to making peace throughout the process and now it finally seems like they are at a point where they can create a calmer situation for the kids."
As fans know already, things got more explosive back in June when Angeline Jolie was ordered by a judge to allow Brad Pitt more time with the kids and repair their relationship for the sake of the young ones.
While the "World War Z" actor was able to get more visitation time with them, there was an exception in Maddox, who "because of his age and maturity," can decide for himself how often or how much time he wants to spend with his dad.
Last month, the "Wanted" star created even more conflict between her and the father of her kids by accusing him of not paying "meaningful" child support for almost the entirety of the two years after they divorced, Celebrity Insider reports.
One day later, Pitt's lawyer filed his client's response, saying Brad had paid Jolie and the kids $9 million in total since their split.
"Angelina created a very difficult situation for Brad and the children and she has finally realized her behavior backfired," our source says. "Angelina loves her kids very much and it seems like she felt threatened she might lose time with them and, in turn, she went on the attack. Unfortunately, everyone in the family has suffered."
It turns out that Angelina Jolie is starting to see a change in the children's behavior because they missed Brad Pitt. "The kids' reaction to the divorce actually helped Angie try a different tact. They both hope to continue to work together for the kids," the insider noted.
