Brad Pitt spent Thanksgiving at an island resort amid ongoing custody drama with ex Angelina Jolie, Us Weekly can confirm.
The Allied actor, 52, stayed at Amanyara in Turks and Caicos in one of the hotel’s private villas with a close male friend, a source tells Us. According to Page Six, which was first to report the news, villas at the upscale property are said to go for up to $34,000 per night.
As Us Weekly previously reported, Pitt was not planning to spend Thanksgiving with his estranged wife and their children. “Angelina did not invite Brad to spend Thanksgiving with their kids,” a source told Us.
The Fight Club actor has only seen the former couple’s six kids, Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and 8-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne — three times since Jolie filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences,” on September 19 after 12 years together.
Pitt and Jolie currently share legal custody while the 41-year-old actress has temporary physical custody. However, a source close to Pitt previously told Us that the actor plans to fight for joint physical custody as well. Jolie and the kids have been staying at a private residence in Malibu since the split.
The Fury star’s island getaway came just days after he was cleared by the FBI of any wrongdoing in a talked-about incident allegedly involving Maddox on a private jet.
“In response to allegations made following a flight within the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States which landed in Los Angeles carrying Mr. Brad Pitt and his children, the FBI has conducted a review of the circumstances and will not pursue further investigation,” a statement to Us on November 22 read. “No charges have been filed in this matter.”
