While Ange's Away... Brad Takes The Kids

He loves being the family guy

As one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood, Angelina Jolie can bring traffic to a standstill by just walking down the street with her kids. So when the Maleficent star appeared on a Paris balcony last week – first in her bathrobe and then in an ivory negligee – all eyes were upon her.

Angelina was in the City of Light to shoot a campaign for French beauty company Guerlain and, once the cameras had stopped whirring, she spent two days catching up with her godmother, British actress Jacqueline Bisset, 74.

The pair, who up until now haven’t been close, stepped out twice in matching outfits – one day in creamy neutrals and the next in summery stripes.

Despite being in the world’s most romantic city, Angelina’s Parisian jaunt was missing a vital ingredient: a handsome suitor to whisk her off her feet. But back in Los Angeles, her ex-husband Brad Pitt was feeling giddy about spending time with their six children.

The World War Z hunk, who split from Angelina in 2016, has won full custody of their five youngest children – Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and 11-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox – for the Northern Hemisphere summer and friends say he’s over the moon!

“Brad’s revelling in daily life as a dad again,” a well-placed source claims. “Even mundane things like eating a bowl of cereal together or picking up after them in the bathroom seem like a novelty, and he’s finally rebuilding the connections he was worried he’d lost.”
