It’s been a tough few years for Brad Pitt with an ongoing custody battle with his ex wife Angelina Jolie.
But according to US reports, the Hollywood actor is set to get custody of the children Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13 and twins Knox and Vivienne, 11 for Thanksgiving.

“Brad was afraid Angie would keep the kids with her, but she let them go home, which is huge considering how nasty this divorce and custody battle got,” a source told American publication In Touch.
“Brad’s thrilled and sees this as a big breakthrough for him and the kids.”
Ever since the plane incident in 2016 where Brad allegedly got into an altercation with eldest son Maddox, 18, Angelina has allegedly not made it easy for the kids to have a positive relationship with their father.
“But Brad has done a lot of work on himself the last few years,” adds the source.
“He’s proven he’s a new man and that he will be a better father. So when Angie asked the kids how they felt about spending Thanksgiving with their father, they were open to it,” adds the source.
The only child that won’t be spending the holidays with Brad is Maddox, who reportedly still has a frosty relationship with him.
He’s currently attending college in South Korea so will likely stay there.
According to the source, the kids are in for a treat with Brad organising a traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings!
The report comes amid a time of change for Brad. The star and Arrested Development’s Alia Shawkat have sparked romance rumours after they were spotted ‘hanging out’ in California.
The Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood actor was seen with the comedian at the Wilding Cran Gallery in Los Angeles over the weekend, which is one of many reported outings the pair have been on recently.
However, a source close to the handsome actor has insisted that there are no romantic feelings between the pair, telling PEOPLE: “They are absolutely just friends.”
