Watch: Angelina Jolie on how she survived split from Brad Pitt
The latest sad chapter between the one-time Hollywood golden couple comes on the back of a clash between Angelina, 44, and her former mother-in-law, Jane Pitt.
A source tells New Idea the megastar’s mum believes Angelina has played a role in turning their children against Brad, and has grand plans of reuniting her son with his estranged children.
“Jane is planning a big family Christmas in Missouri,” the source tells New Idea.
Us Weekly recently reported that Brad, 56, will spend the holidays with three of his six children: Shiloh, 13, and 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. This will be the first time he’s spent Christmas with any of his children since his split from Angelina.
Other reports suggest the remaining children; Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, and Zahara, 14, are refusing to see Brad.
Brad would be hopeful the holidays will be the turning point in the relationship with his kids. “Brad’s determined to make this the best Christmas yet,” the source says.
According to the source, Jane has warned Ange not to “pull any stunts” and ruin Christmas plans.
