According to the National Enquirer, the actress has made the bold move due to work commitments.
‘Angelina is really strapped for cash right now and that’s worked to Brad’s advantage,’ dished an insider.
‘She’s taken this next movie [“The Eternals“], which will be shooting in the U.K. during the summer. That’s why she’s letting the kids stay with Brad in L.A. while she makes the big bucks in Europe!’
This will be the first time that the Maleficent star has been away from her brood since the pair’s bitter split in 2016.
Maddox, 18; Pax, 15; Zahara, 14; Shiloh, 13; and 11-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox have always remained close to their mother and it’s apparently making her nervous to let them go.
‘She’s having an extremely hard time over it,’ said an insider. ‘She always figured the kids would stay with her until they were old enough to leave home. It never crossed her mind that they’d push to be with their dad for more than an occasional overnight visit!’
The insider insists that the kids are happy about the arrangement however saying: ‘All the kids have missed spending quality time with Brad and they’re all celebrating.
‘They’ve made it clear it’s their wish to be with their dad for an extended period. They have all desperately missed him!’
The former couple have yet to respond to the Enquirer‘s report.
