Angelina Jolie takes birthday trip to NYC with kids amid custody drama
The gang’s all here.
Angelina Jolie celebrated her birthday week in New York with her six children amid her contentious legal battle with ex-husband Brad Pitt.
The actress, who turned 46 on Friday, and her kids were spotted arriving at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Saturday — a rarity for the large brood.
Jolie wore a Christian Dior trench coat and masked up due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She carried a Celine tote bag with a Louis Vuitton roller bag.
The “Maleficent” star shares 19-year-old Maddox, 17-year-old Pax, 16-year-old Zahara, 14-year-old Shiloh and 12-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox with Pitt.
The actor, 57, was granted joint custody of the children in May after a lengthy court battle, with a source exclusively telling Page Six that it was a “tentative decision.”
The custody case was extremely bitter at points, with Jolie even criticizing the judge for refusing to allow her and Pitt’s children to testify.
Jolie filed for divorce in 2016 after a fight allegedly broke out between the “Ad Astra” star and Maddox on a private flight from France to Los Angeles. No charges were ever filed against Pitt.
While the “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” co-stars were declared legally single in 2019, they have continued to make court appearances in recent months to hash out custody issues.
Jolie recently blamed her “family situation” for keeping her from directing new projects.
“I needed to just do shorter jobs and be home more, so I kind of went back to doing a few acting jobs. That’s really the truth of it,” she told Entertainment Weekly in April.
Hopefully their trip to the Big Apple is more promising.
