Jolie-Pitt Divorce: Maddox Steps In

The Eldest Son Wants To Look After His Siblings.

In a month, Maddox Jolie-Pitt turns 18 and will head off to university. But as he faces adulthood, the eldest son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt appears set to make a dramatic move.

New Idea has learnt that as the divorce between the two stars enters its fourth year, Maddox is considering gaining guardianship of his siblings, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 10. “He knows it’s a big step and there are a few legal hurdles to overcome, but he’s seen the effect that Brad and Ange’s custody battle has had on the kids and he thinks this is the best way to protect them,” says the source close to the family.

Just 15 when Angelina filed for divorce in 2016, Maddox hasn’t been included in any of the recent custody rulings because he’s considered old enough to make his own decisions.
