Why Angelina Jolie, Daughter Vivienne Have Special Bond Amid Brad Pitt Divorce

After Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in 2016, the ”Maleficent 2” star turned her focus to their six children, Maddox, 17, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 12, and twins, Knox and Vivienne, 10.

Although Jolie values spending quality with all of her kids, she has reportedly formed an “incredibly close” relationship with one of her youngest children, Vivienne.

“Angie likes to spend one-on-one time with them and makes it a point to do special outings with each of them,” a source told Us Weekly.

When it comes to Vivienne, Jolie has a “very sweet bond” with her daughter. “She’s really the baby of the family. They’re incredibly close and enjoy being together,” the insider explained.

Jolie and Pitt were initially scheduled to head to court on Dec. 4, 2018, to negotiate custody terms for their children. Before the trial could take place, the estranged spouses were able to reach an agreement.

At the time, Jolie’s lawyer, Samantha Bley DeJean revealed the agreement was made with the children’s best interest in mind.

“The agreement, which is based on the recommendations of the child custody evaluator, eliminates the need for a trial. The filing and details of the agreement are confidential to protect the best interests of the children,” DeJean said in a statement.

The arrangement gave Pitt the opportunity to spend his 55th birthday with most of his children. “Brad had the kids overnight — all but [eldest] Maddox — which was incredibly significant because it was the first time since the custody deal was recently reached,” a source previously told Us Weekly.

Pitt’s relationship with his children suffered following his split with Jolie, but with the custody arrangement in place, the actor has the chance to repair the damage. An insider revealed Pitt “knows he is on the path to having the kids back in his life in a much more meaningful and significant way.”
