KEY POINTS

  • Angelina Jolie was, reportedly, saved by Maddox Jolie-Pitt
  • Maddox has, allegedly, been a pillar of support for Angelina
  • Angelina Jolie, reportedly, threatened to keep her kids away from Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie has been distancing herself from the limelight since she filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in 2016. The “Maleficent” actress cited “irreconcilable differences” as the primary cause of the breakup. The parents of Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, Vivienne, Knox, and Zahara had been in a 12-year romance before, officially, calling it quits.

OK! Magazine, in its forthcoming April 20, 2020 issue, reported that Angelina is still recovering from her infamous split from Brad more than three years ago. Fortunately, as per the entertainment news outlet, Maddox is there to help her pick up the pieces as the former couple continues their custody battle and divorce drama. The 18-year-old son of the “Salt” actress has, reportedly, been giving his mom unwavering love and support amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Maddox is the one person in the world Angie listens to so if anyone can lift her spirits, it’s him,” the source told the publication. “Angie is so grateful to have him around again. Everyone’s noticed a change in her manner. She hasn’t smiled this much in months!” it went on. The insider furthered that Maddox has been helping Angelina in taking care of his siblings while "keeping up with his online classes."

To recall, Brad Pitt and Maddox have had a strained relationship after they, reportedly, got into a fight while the entire family was traveling on a private jet to Los Angeles. Reports claimed that the “Troy” actor hurt his son while having an argument with Angelina Jolie. However, Brad was cleared of any wrongdoing after a series of investigations.

Brad is, allegedly, disappointed that his relationship with Maddox did not improve even after Angelina tried to fix and mend their strained relationship. Us Weekly even suggested that the “Ad Astra” actor was hopeful that his other son, Pax, would reconnect with him while Maddox is away from home.

Meanwhile, Woman’s Day reported that Angelina, who is said to be fighting for a $100 million settlement after her divorce, threatened to keep her kids away from Brad Pitt while their divorce proceedings continue. The “Gia” actress was, allegedly, not happy after learning that Jennifer Aniston has been spending time with her children. Brad and Jennifer sparked reunion rumors after they were seen together at Screen Actors Guild Awards 2020.

Angelina Jolie has yet to comment on these claims. However, with Woman’s Day and OK! Magazine’s history of creating stories based on the statements of its unreliable and unknown sources, these could be works of fiction waiting to be quashed. Hence, avid followers of the “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” actress should take these reports with a huge grain of salt until everything is proven true and correct.
