During their brief marriage, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie reportedly butted heads over the way they wanted to raise their six children.
HOW MANY BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN DOES ANGELINA JOLIE HAVE?
People reports the exes had different expectations for how they wanted to raise their children – Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
The disagreements that arose due to this issue reportedly played a part in their split.
While they were declared legally single in 2019, they are still embroiled in an ongoing divorce fight over assets and custody.
WHAT DID BRAD PITT AND ANGELINA JOLIE FIGHT ABOUT?
An insider told the site that Brad, 60, sought to put more rules in place for the children while Jolie, 49, wanted their kids to ‘be more independent and responsible for their own schedules from a young age.’
‘During their marriage, they had very different parenting styles. Brad grew up with structure and wanted more rules for the kids,’ the source told the site.
‘Angie had a different upbringing and wanted the kids to be more independent and responsible for their own schedules from a young age,’ the insider added.
The source added that while the duo ‘clashed over this’, they still had the same hopes for their children.
‘They did always have the same vision for their kids’ future. They wanted the kids to thrive by experiencing the world first-hand and not only learn from traditional schooling,’ the source said.
Another insider added that the duo still ‘really care.’
