Taking the high road. Brad Pitt still wants ex-wife Angelina Jolie to be “happy” amid their winery drama, a source exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly.“He’s not rooting against her, not personally, not professionally, not romantically,” the insider says. “If she’s happy, he’s happy.
Brad loved Angelina and he still cares about her.”The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star, 58, is “consistent” in the fact that he wants the Maleficent actress, 47, to be “happy and healthy and the best mother she can be for their children,” the source adds.In fact, when Jolie was going through her “medical issues and surgeries, she routinely praised Brad for being supportive,” the insider points out, adding, “He was there with her through everything.”In recent years, however, the twosome have butted heads on a variety of issues, including custody over their children and selling their Château Miraval winery.
Jolie sold her stake in the company in October 2021, which Pitt later alleged in a lawsuit was done without his knowledge or consent.“Brad always dreamed of leaving Miraval to the children as part of the family legacy,” the insider tells Us, noting that his family has remained a top priority since his and Jolie’s September 2016 split.The exes, who were declared legally single in April 2019, share six kids: Maddox, 21, Pax, 18, Zahara, 17, Shiloh, 16, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 14.
