Angelina Jolie loves traveling with her six kids whenever she can and a source exclusively tells In Touch she’s looking to whisk them all away for a family vacation as she continues to eye up an eventual move out of Los Angeles altogether.
Even though parents Angie, 49, and Brad Pitt separated in 2016, Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 18 and twins Vivienne and Knox, 16, still pal around together as much as possible, but pretty much exclusively with their mom.
“As soon as the twins are done their semester Angelina wants them all to get out of L.A. for a good chunk of the summer,” the source says. “Where they go is going to depend on her schedule with work. She may have a film over the summer, possibly in Europe, so depending on how things come together they may all relocate there temporarily for the summer.”
Brad, 61, and the Salt actress famously feuded over their co-owned French winery, Château Miraval, and to this day Angie loves to spend time on the continent. She’s filmed plenty there and makes sure the kids have tons of exposure to European culture. But the source notes, “If she doesn’t have a shoot, then she would love to go to their place in Cambodia.”
The former A-list couple adopted their oldest, Maddox, from Cambodia and the country holds a special place in Angelina’s heart. She’s spent plenty of time there both as a United Nations rep and as a filmmaker working on her Khmer Rouge-era movie, First They Killed My Father.
Ultimately, “She will give the kids a chance to weigh in,” as to where they get to spend their summer. “If she’s not on location for work then they will get the final say on where they all go. That may pose something of a challenge because they’ve all got different interests, but New York and London are both high on everyone’s list.”
The destination may be up in the air, but one thing is for sure: dad Brad will be iced out of the family festivities. As In Touch previously reported, the Troy star’s kids have been giving him the cold shoulder since the divorce due to his alleged abuse of their mother.
Though Brad denied the accusations, documents released during the winery fight and Angie’s own lawyers accused him of getting physical with her and their children on a private jet in 2016.
A second source previously told In Touch that, “Right now, all he can do is watch from a distance,” as his large brood moves on to succeed and enjoy family time without him, “which is very hard.”
The first source suggests that beyond hurt feelings, there may be even more complications with the family’s vacation plans, considering Knox and Vivienne are still underage. “Dealing with Brad and the legal aspect of it all will no doubt pose a headache, but [Angie]’s managed to pull it off every other year, so she’s sure it will go ahead.”
