Angelina Jolie 'Is Using Her Children' To Upset Brad Pitt; Actress Allegedly 'Swooning For' Michelle Pfeiffer

Angelina Jolie, 44, and Brad Pitt, 55, broke the internet with a split announcement three years ago. The ex-couple, also known as Brangelina, filed for divorce after an alleged incident involving the “Troy” actor and their eldest child, Maddox, 18. Neither of the two A-list Hollywood personalities has confirmed the reports about Brad and Maddox’s spat up to this writing and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the cause of their decision to break up.

In a recent interview, Angelina revealed how she felt “broken” in the years before she started working on the “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” movie. The actress said she “was not feeling very strong” reprising her role. Brad’s ex-ladylove even revealed that it took her “a moment to feel the strength” of her character again.

Angelina Jolie shared she asked her six children – Maddox, Zahara, 14, Knox, 11, Vivienne, 11, Pax, 15, and Shiloh, 13 -- if they are interested to appear on the sequel. To her surprise, none of them wanted to get involved in the “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” movie, even Vivienne, who played as baby Aurora in the first installment.

Meanwhile, there have been rumors saying that Angelina is using her children to upset Brad Pitt. The “Salt” star has been bringing her kids for the screenings in several locations, which include Rome, Japan, London and Los Angeles. An unnamed source reportedly told Heat the actress wanted to show the world how happy her children are when they are together.

Previous rumors claimed that Brad Pitt has been begging Angelina Jolie to help him fix his strained relationship with Maddox. The “Ad Astra” actor, reportedly, told his former partner about his plans in visiting Maddox in Seoul City, South Korea. Angelina, according to a Us Weekly source, supported the idea and it gave Brad hope that Maddox will reach out to him very soon.

Though no one can confirm the real status of Angelina and Brad’s relationship at the moment, the good guys at Gossip Cop debunked the claims that the actress is trying to make her ex angry by bringing her children on the red carpet. The publication stated that Angelina is simply working while spending time with her kids. Hence, no drama should be attached to it.

The same publication denied the rumors linking Angelina Jolie with Michelle Pfeiffer. National Enquirer recently claimed that the “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” actress is looking for the love of a woman after her split from Brad Pitt. Though Angelina previously admitted she had a crush on Michelle in her younger years, it is important to note that the “Batman Returns” star has been happily married to David E. Kelley for more than two decades.
