Brad Pitt has been granted joint custody of his children with Angelina Jolie following a lengthy court battle.

Divorce in 2016

Ms. Jolie filed for divorce in 2016 and the couple have since been engaged in a custody battle that was largely kept from public view.

A private judge hired to oversee the case ruled in Mr. Pitt’s favour. According to a source, the ruling would “significantly increase” his time with the children.

Mr. Pitt (57) and Ms. Jolie (45) are parents to Pax (17), Zahara (16), Shiloh (14) and 12-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox. The oldest, 19-year-old Maddox, is not subjected to the custody decision.
