Brad Pitt, 56, and Angelina Jolie, 44, who split in 2016, share six children together.

Reports have claimed the actress has banned Brad’s first wife Jennifer Aniston, 51, from seeing their children and has also filed a new custody evaluation following her split from the actor.

Recent reports have claimed Brad and Jennifer have grew close again in recent weeks after being pictured at the SAG Awards together.

Earlier this month, another source said Angelina is “furious” with her daughter Shiloh over a role in a Jennifer Aniston movie.

An insider believed to be close to Angelina and Brad, told New Zealand magazine Women’s Day about their ongoing custody battle.

The Woman’s Day report obtained by Celebrity Insider reads: “Angelina has privately demanded that Jen be banned from seeing her kids. Kenny Rogers dead: How did Kenny Rogers die?

Express.co.uk has contacted a representative for Angelina, Brad and Jennifer for comment.

The alleged source went on to say of Brad: “This latest curveball has got him questioning what else he could possibly do to prove the kids are his number one priority.”

Brad and his second wife are parents to Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 13, and 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

According to MEAWW, the Friends star helped the former couple’s daughter Shiloh land a small role in a film she produced.

International Business Times said the pair’s daughter has always expressed a desire to become an actress but the Maleficent star would rather she focuses on her studies.

Angelina and Brad split in 2016 after two years of marriage and 12 years together.
