This was because their separation also includes child custody of their six children, separation of their assets, and other financial aspects involved.
The nasty divorce feud
It came to a point when the two are accusing each other of their supposed shortcomings. NBC News reported that the “Maleficent” actress slammed her ex-husband and alleged that he is not paying proper child support. On the other hand, the actor is claiming his ex is not saying the truth as he has already paid $9 million.
With the bitter turn of events, the two tried to settle things quietly and avoid the tensions from escalating further. Radar Online reported that Pitt and Jolie chose an unconventional way to solve their issues and settle their divorce in a more amicable manner.
The couple’s alleged solution to stop the intense divorce battle
The publication reported that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt decided to go on a private getaway as they think the change of scenery can help them calm down and settle their ill-feelings toward each other. Their feud is already costing them a fortune in legal fees, so they are hoping to settle some things that they can privately.
“Now they’re going to try a brand new, relaxed setting outside of LA where they’ll have uninterrupted privacy and a long weekend to try and hash things out,” the insider allegedly told Radar. “But they will not be going alone.”
The two are said to be planning a trip with their respective legal aides. They will also stay in separate rooms and keep their distance after the meetings to sort things out.
Did the secret trip happen to settle their divorce?
The well-known fact-checking site, Gossip Cop, stated that from the beginning, the story is questionable. In the first place, how would a getaway solve the crisis between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt?
Furthermore, the logic that the fighting ex-couple would want to spend the weekend together to finalize their divorce doesn’t make sense. It was also mentioned that they would be staying in “separate rooms,” and if the Radar report is even true, it is a given that they will not sleep in the same room. Thus, it is obvious from the start that the story is not true.
