Angelina’s Adopting Again!

Brad Pitt discovers Angelina Jolie’s secret plan as their divorce war rages on

-

Six wasn’t enough. Before her split from Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie desperatel­y wanted to adopt and give their children, Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 8, another sibling. “But Brad always said no,” says a source. “He felt their family was complete and that Angelina was crazy for wanting another kid.”

He can’t stop her now. Angelina’s dream of adopting again is finally coming true. “Brad has heard she’s planning to adopt another child,” the source tells In Touch exclusivel­y. “He’s worried what impact it will have on their kids.” Brad, 53, has been locked in a nasty divorce and custody battle with Angelina, 41, for months amid a smear campaign suggesting he’s a bad father.

And there’s no end in sight. Angelina, who’s worth $160 million, is now making “ridiculous financial demands” in the settlement talks, says the source, despite the fact that the couple has a prenup. She wants Brad, who’s worth $240 million, to pay her a whopping $250 million for Miraval, the French château the former couple bought in 2012 for $60 million. “Brad’s absolutely opposed to it. He offered to buy it from her for $25 million and to continue to share profits of the wine venture they started [their Chateau Miraval Rosé 2012 was ranked the best rosé in the world in 2013]. Brad has even discussed giving all proceeds from the wine to charity. But Angelina

said no to everything. She knows how much Miraval means to him. That’s why she’s going after it.”

Angelina is also demanding $100,000 a month in child support. “This will pay for all of the kids’ expenses as well as set up a trust fund for each child,” says the source, adding that $250,000 would be set aside each year and put in the kids’ trust by Brad and be capped at $5 million.

It’s not going to happen the way Angelina wants. Brad, who’s seeking joint custody, “has no issue with taking care of the kids,” says the source, “but he won’t pay her child support” because he doesn’t want her to have control of the money. Angelina is busy trying to rehabilita­te her public image and recently became the face of Guerlain’s new perfume. She will donate all of her compensati­on to charity. But she’s not being charitable to Brad! She wants the divorce to be finalized in the next 90 days, yet she’s still insisting on sole custody. “Brad isn’t going to give in on any of her demands,” adds the source, “which means this battle isn’t ending anytime soon.” ◼
