Brad Pitt Feels ‘It’s Time to Share His Side’ of Bitter Divorce From Angelina Jolie

Brad Pitt feels 'it's time to share his side' of his split from Angeline Jolie, a source exclusively tells In Touch now that their divorce has been finalized.

But after facing so much heartbreak in the wake of their 2016 split, a brutal yearslong custody battle, and the final issue they need to resolve — lawsuits over ownership rights to their former family home and winery in France, Château Miraval — he’s grown tired of the secrets and lies. He has long denied Angelina’s claims he was physically abusive to her and some of their six children — Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 — during an alcohol-fueled argument on a private plane that led her to end their two-year marriage (FBI and child services investigations also cleared him). In legal documents that surfaced in May, security company owner Tony Webb — who’s worked for both stars — alleged one of his employees overheard Angelina “encouraging [the kids] to avoid spending time with Mr. Pitt during custody visits.” That followed previous speculation she’d exerted control over the children’s relationship with their dad in those crucial early days post-split after details of a 2018 custody hearing leaked: A judge ordered her to foster the kids’ connection with Brad and give him their children’s personal cellphone numbers so that “[he] may text them.” She was warned not to monitor their communications.
