Is Angelina Jolie Spoiling Her Kids To Help Them Cope With Her And Brad Pitt’s Divorce?


Angelina Jolie faced a report days ago which suggested she has been giving her six kids nearly everything they want in an effort to keep them happy and content as her divorce from Brad Pitt continues. But is she really?

On November 13, Hollywood Life claimed Angelina Jolie’s children, Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 8, were suffering from depression due to the actress’s split from their father, Brad Pitt.

“The kids are so depressed and [Angelina Jolie] is scrambling to do anything and everything to cheer them up,” the source explained to the outlet. “Her first tactic was showing them as much love as possible — more hugs, more compliments, more affection, letting them sleep in her bed and stay up late, but that was not getting her anywhere.”

“Now she’s resorting to gifts. Anything they want, they get it. Zahara, 11, loves to shop so [Angelina Jolie] had her go to her favorite online stores and get whatever she wanted,” the source said. “The twins (Knox and Vivienne, both 8) got a toy shopping spree. The boys (Maddox, 15, and Pax, 12) get gadgets, and electronics, and Shiloh, 10, wants a puppy! Angie is still holding out on that one!”

Days prior, another Hollywood Life source suggested Angelina Jolie’s children were “homesick” and wishing they could return to their former family home in Los Feliz. According to the report, Angelina Jolie was struggling to keep her kids happy and noted that the children were sad and missing the huge home where they grew up.

Although Angelina Jolie is likely doing what she can to make sure that her family remains happy during this difficult time, a Gossip Cop report shot down Hollywood Life’s initial report, claiming the 41-year-old actress was not giving her kids “anything they want” after filing for divorce from Brad Pitt.

It’s “a stupid lie,” a source explained, adding that Angelina Jolie is smart enough not to try to buy her children’s love during a custody battle.

Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt on September 19 and quickly vacated her Los Feliz home in lieu of a rental property in Malibu, California. As X17 Online confirmed weeks ago, Angelina Jolie is renting a home from her longtime friend, Universal head honcho Ron Meyer, who is the father of jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer.

Ironically, Jennifer Meyer is a close friend of Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt’s ex-wife, and designed her wedding ring when she married actor Justin Theroux in August of last year. Meyer is also newly single after splitting from actor Tobey Maguire weeks ago.

According to the X17 Online report, the home where Angelina Jolie is currently residing is considered to be one of the most exclusive, most expensive and most admired mansions in all of Malibu.

When Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt first split, the actress rented a home in Pt. Dume but because she had to be out of the property by the end of September, she was forced to find somewhere for her kids to go — and fast. Luckily, she was able to quickly work out a deal with Meyer and has been living in his home ever since.

As for the rumors regarding Angelina Jolie and her children moving into a home owned by actress Denise Richards in Hidden Hills, the outlet confirmed there was no truth to the story. Instead, Angelina Jolie was simply visiting her friend.
