Have Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie fooled the world? Are they really getting back together?

According to a leading US tabloid, Angelina and Brad Pitt are making headlines by putting their differences aside and meeting behind doors to settle for the well-being of their kids.

A friend of the couple reported recently, “Brad and Angie are keeping the reinvigorated relationship under the radar for now because they don’t want to confuse the kids. The welfare of the children is their priority.”

The source added further, “Since quitting drinking, Brad has been a much more present father. It’s very obvious how much Brad is still in love with Angelina, and she still loves him too. She sees the effort he’s been putting in, and it’s winning her over. Brad has accepted responsibility for how he could be while drunk and called Angie to deliver a heartfelt apology.”

In a one on one conversation about his children, Brad commented, “I come from a place where, you know, it’s strength if we get a brith a Father-knows-best/war mentality—the father is all-powerful, super strong—instead of really knowing the man and his own self-doubt and struggles. And it’s hit me smack in the face with our divorce: I gotta be more. I gotta be more for them. I have to show them. And I haven’t been great at it.”

He added, “I was really on my back and chained to a system when Child Services was called. And you know, after that, we’ve been able to work together to sort this out. We’re both doing our best. I heard one lawyer say, ‘No one wins in court—it’s just a matter of who gets hurt worse.’ And it seems to be true, you spend a year just focused on building a case to prove your point and why you’re right and why they’re wrong, and it’s just an investment in vitriolic hatred. I just refuse. And fortunately, my partner in this agrees. It’s just very, very jarring for the kids, to suddenly have their family ripped apart.”
