Angelina Jolie, 47, was grateful Brad Pitt, 58, took the time to fly to Rome, Italy for their twins’ birthday. Knox and Vivienne turning 14, the actor traveled to the country to celebrate, but the actress was “stressing” to make sure it happened before Brad “stepped up,” one source said.
The source told HollywoodLife “Angelina’s on a tight shooting schedule [on Without Blood] so she’s relieved that Brad was able to come to Rome to see the kids and be there for Knox and Vivienne’s birthday, it means a lot to her that he made the trip.”
“She always bends over backwards to make sure the kids get time with their dad, especially on special occasions like birthdays and holidays,” the source continued. “But in this situation, she was stressing about how make it all work, so the fact that Brad’s stepped up and made the trip has taken a huge weight off her shoulders, his effort hasn’t gone unnoticed.”
It is turning as their communication is still struggling since their divorce and custody battle, so Brad’s latest visit to see the twins made a lasting impression.
The insider further shared “They have virtually no contact, everything between them, including the kids’ schedules is handled by third parties because they’re still battling it out in court,” “But Angelina shields the kids from it all as best she can because she wants them to have a healthy relationship with their dad, regardless of how she feels about him.”
Angelina and Brad share four other children in addition to Knox and Vivienne, including Maddox, 20, Pax, 18, Zahara, 17, and Shiloh, 16.
