Brad Pitt spends Christmas with his kids amid Angelina Jolie divorce

But Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are still battling in courts over their divorce despite what appeared to be steps toward an amicable agreement earlier this year.

The 57-year-old actor will reportedly get to spend some time this holiday season with daughter Shiloh and twins Vivienne and Knox, according to US Weekly.

‘They can spend the night with him on Christmas Eve,’ a sourced said while noting the pair had previously discussed enjoying the holidays together as a family when they were ‘getting along,’ but plans have since changed.

The insider added that ‘egos have once again derailed’ the original idea of being all together for the holidays, but he will see at least three of his kids on ‘Christmas Day.’

‘Brad and Angelina are equally responsible for the never-ending drama,’ the insider adds. ‘Sadly, their children are collateral damage.’

The couple have been locked in court battles since Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016.

They also have yet to figure out a permanent custody agreement for their children despite being legally separated for nearly two years.

Brad and Angelina also share co-parenting responsibilities of Zahara, 15, Pax, 16, and Maddox, 19, who is legally an adult.

‘Relations between Brad and Angelina remain extremely tense,’ the source said while nothing that Jolie is ‘frustrated’ with the setbacks.

The Maleficent star is now ‘more prickly’ amid the coronavirus pandemic as she’s locked down in Los Angeles and refuses to travel.

‘She has wanted to do humanitarian work beyond the United States but needs permission from Brad to take the kids out of the county,’ the source added.
