Angelina Jolie called Brad Pitt a ‘great dad’
Angelia Jolie and Brad Pitt’s romance began in 2004 during the making of Mr. & Mrs Smith. During that time, Pitt was already married to actress Jennifer Aniston. However, soon the news of his affair with Jolie led the headlines. Soon, he divorced Aniston and started getting spotted with Jolie as a couple.
The couple expanded their family and adopted children, Maddox and Zahara. Soon, Jolie and Pitt welcomed their first biological child, Shiloh, in 2006, and subsequently adopted Pax. They completed their family of six with the birth of twins, Knox and Vivienne, in 2008.
During their courtship period, Jolie gushed about Pitt and called him a ‘real gentleman’. In an interview with Britain’s Telegraph, Angelina Jolie called herself lucky to have Brad in her life. She also revealed that Brad got the ‘wonderful balance of being an extraordinary, great, loving father’.
She also pointed out that she and Brad decided to have a large family while always being available for them. Going further in the interview, Angelina shared how Brad puts effort into the kids when she is working. Speaking about their commitment to the kids, she shared:
“It's a special time for Daddy when Mom works for a few months. And Brad is such a great dad. When I'm working, he's putting in the extra dad time, and that's special for their relationship, too. We are obviously extremely committed to the children and as parents together."
Brad Pitt's behaviour towards his and Angelina Jolie’s children was one of the reasons for their split
There are multiple reasons reported for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s kids dropping the actor’s surname, and one of them is his soured relationship with the children. After spending almost a decade together, Jolie and Pitt got married in 2014, but filed for a divorce within two years. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's divorce battle turned extremely ugly when details about their marital life surfaced.
In a court filing, Jolie allegedly stated that Pitt tried to abuse her physically. He had grabbed her by her head and shaken her. Not only this, she claimed that he even choked one of their children and struck another one who came to protect her. As per The New York Times, in the filing, Angelina Jolie highlighted the incident that happened on September 14, 2016, when the ex-couple was travelling with their six children from the winery, Chateau Miraval, to Los Angeles.
Pitt’s aggressive behaviour with the kids began at the airport, and when Jolie intervened, he accused her of being 'too deferential' to the children. He verbally slammed Jolie and physically assaulted her. But when one of her children came running to protect her, Pitt lunged at his own children, while choking one and hitting another in the face.
