Angelina Jolie Is Desperate for Help After Brad Pitt’s Bold Decision

Angelina Jolie is reportedly leaning on son Maddox for support as Pax’s partying and Shiloh’s rebellion strain her post-divorce family life.

It has been months since Angelina Jolie’s messy divorce case with Brad Pitt was finally finalized, but the actress still appears to be struggling.

According to the latest reports, she’s currently counting on her eldest kid, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, to help her out as she is struggling with her other kids, who appear to be giving her a hard time.

Per RadarOnline.com, “it’s no secret” that Jolie is “struggling to keep her kids in line.” This is because she has “always depended on Maddox to keep the younger kids in line.”.

[Maddox] was very much the man of the house, who stepped up massively when she and Pitt broke up – even though he was only 15 at the time.

Turns out, currently, Maddox, 23, is actually splitting his time between Asia, Europe, and an apartment that the Maleficent star owns in New York City.

But since he has practically long been the actress’ rock all this time, as the tipster insists, she’s reportedly looking forward to his support with the kids who are giving her a ‘hard time’.

Angelina Jolie’s son Pax Jolie-Pitt recently made headlines for all the wrong reasons as he was spotted partying hard at the Chateau Marmont hotel before heading off to a strip club with his friends late at night.

Before this, in July 2024 and earlier this year in January, he dominated the tabloids after being involved in two e-bike accidents – one of which even had him admitted to the ICU with a head injury.

As the sources have it about the actress’ reaction to this latest incident that Pax got involved in, “Angelina is brushing this latest incident off as a case of Pax experimenting and pushing boundaries.” And yet, the source also emphasizes that she’s still super concerned about him.

On the other hand, there’s Shiloh, 19, who even petitioned last year to drop her estranged dad Brad Pitt’s last name from her moniker.

Turns out, she’s not making parenting any easier for her mom either, considering how reports claim she’s “stressing” Jolie out.

Angelina gives [Shiloh] a lot of freedom and insists she totally trusts her.

But, of course, it’s stressful seeing her making her own way.

She’s at the stage where she’s rebelling, and that’s worrisome.

Recently, the teen, who is an aspiring dancer, was spotted hanging out with a Hollywood crowd that included even budding model Keoni Rose.

This makes all the reports about the Salt actress being concerned about her children losing their way off track seem even more plausible.

While her 19 and 21-year-olds giving her a hard time is one thing, it’s only understandable why Angelina Jolie might be looking forward to her eldest son for support.

As the source added, Maddox is “a very mature” and “level-headed” young man who frequently pays his mother a visit.

But as of late, he has been “traveling around a lot” and “focused on building his own life.”

Angelina’s a very hands-on mom and incredibly protective, but the stress of parenting alone is starting to show, especially now that Maddox is hardly around.

And Angie has to fend for herself because she doesn’t really trust anyone except Maddox with highly personal family stuff.

It sucks for her.

That said, from what it looks like, it feels like even after finally getting out of her messy divorce, Jolie hasn’t been spared from trouble and distress.

This is true considering just how much her children seem to drive their single mother to the edge with worry with their antics, now that their father has distanced himself from the brood.

Now, it remains to be seen if Angelina Jolieʼs parenting concerns will be significantly reduced with the help of her eldest son.
