The protracted divorce saga between Hollywood power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, affectionately dubbed Brangelina, appears to be drawing to a close as Pitt has reportedly abandoned his custody battle.
After years of legal wrangling, the once inseparable duo’s tumultuous split, which commenced in 2016, is now approaching its conclusion, with the finalization anticipated by the end of summer.
A pivotal aspect of their drawn-out separation has been the custody arrangement for their children. Initially, Pitt had sought a 50/50 split in parental responsibilities, but this arrangement proved unfeasible.
Now, with their three eldest children—Maddox, Pax, and Zahara—having reached adulthood, the contentious custody dispute seems to have reached a resolution, albeit one not yet fully disclosed.

As for their younger kids, Angelina will take care of them most of the time while Brad can still visit them. A source told the Daily Mail that Brad won’t try to change this.
Their youngest kids are Shiloh, 17, Knox, 15, and Vivienne, 15.
The kids have been pretty open about their problems with Brad. On Father’s Day, Pax put up a picture of his dad alongside allegations reading: “You time and time and again prove yourself to be a terrible and despicable person.
“You have no consideration or empathy toward your four youngest children who tremble in fear when in your presence. You will never understand the damage you have done to my family because you’re incapable of doing so.”

Zahara has also stopped using her dad’s last name. This was shown in a video where Zahara joined a college sorority.
When she joined, they only called her “Zahara Jolie.”
An insider close to Brad believes this is “textbook parental alienation” and says Angelina has made the divorce last until the kids were older.
