How Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie's Relationship Has Changed Since Their Complicated Split

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are not getting back together despite the actor being spotted visiting his ex-wife’s Los Angeles home on Tuesday (June 30).

Photos released by The Daily Mail showed Pitt leaving on his motorcycle after spending two hours at Jolie's compound in Los Feliz. The “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” co-stars split in 2016 after two years of marriage, and this was reportedly the first time the actor has been seen at his former partner’s LA abode since their separation.

After a long custody battle over their kids, Pitt and Jolie are reportedly getting along better nowadays and are dedicated to co-parenting their six children — Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 14, and 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

While some fans are still hoping for their reconciliation, a source told Entertainment Tonight that Pitt and Jolie’s communication is solely restricted to topics about their children and that they have no plans to reunite.

"When Brad and Angelina first separated, their only communication was through their attorneys," the insider said, adding that they couldn’t bear to speak to each other at the time.

This reportedly made their custody decisions challenging, but now, “they are in a much more amicable relationship."

Following their separation in 2016, the two were engaged in a bitter custody battle, with Jolie filing a brief in Los Angeles in 2018 claiming that Pitt “has paid no meaningful child support.” However, this claim was countered by her ex-husband, who said, according to documents obtained by Daily Mail in 2018, that he has paid Jolie over $9 million in child support.

Jolie had also demanded a bigger share of Pitt's $300 million wealth, reports claimed. The two were also said to have butted heads over Jolie's desire to move abroad with her children.

Opening about the issue, Jolie said last year that she'll proceed with her plan to move abroad once her children are 18. "Right now, I'm having to base where their father chooses to live," she told Harper’s Bazaar.

In the same interview, the actress and philanthropist credited her children for helping her reconnect with herself following her split from Pitt, who was previously married to "Friends" alum Jennifer Aniston.

“They have been through a lot,” she said. “I learn from their strength. As parents, we encourage our kids to embrace all that they are, and all that they know in their hearts to be right, and they look back at us and want the same for us.”

Despite his improved relationship with Jolie, Pitt’s relationship with his eldest, Maddox, is reportedly still a work in progress, a source claimed to Hollywood Life. An alleged altercation between Pitt and his son mid-flight on a private plane is believed to have prompted Jolie to file for divorce.
