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.
