The
Tomb Raider star — who raises six children with partner Brad
Pitt – was
furious when the actor resumed contact with his ex-wife and has
angrily insisted Jen keeps out of her young brood’s lives, according to a
report in American tabloid the National Enquirer.
“Angie told Brad that it was one thing for him to hang out with ‘That woman’,” a source said, “but it would be quite another if he let her see the children.
“The last thing she wants is Jen trying to act like some kind of surrogate mother to her six kids. She cannot imagine anything more distressing — and at the same time she does not want any of them getting confused about what is happening to their family.
“Angie doesn’t want the kids — and particularly the ones who are too young to understand, like 4-year-old Shiloh — why Brad is spending time with another woman.
“As usual, Brad explained to her that his friendship with Jen is totally innocent — and all about business. She told him that’s fine and she accepts there is nothing she can do about it.
“But she said the kids might not be so understanding and might even get upset that dad was spending so much time with another woman who happens to be his ex-wife.
“She said they might get very confused and Brad should be smart enough not to put them in that position.
“Now, Angie has flat out banned him from seeing Jen when he’s with the children. Other than that, she said, what he does on his own time is his own business.”
Recent reports claimed Jolie, 35, is planning to adopt an orphan from Haiti following a recent trip to the Caribbean country.
“She met officials and there has been a lot of talk that she is desperate to help the children,” a source told Britain’s Daily Express newspaper.
“She is thinking of adopting one.”
