Hey there, friends. Let’s talk about a moment in life that every parent dreads but knows is inevitable: watching your child grow up and leave the nest. Angelina Jolie, the mother of six, is stepping into this phase as she prepares to send her eldest son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, off to college. Recently, while fulfilling her duties as a Special Envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in South Korea, Angelina reportedly took a break to visit a university campus in Seoul with Maddox. At just 17 years old, Maddox is showing remarkable independence, and it seems like South Korea might just be the place where he decides to take the next big step in his life.

Maddox's Academic Aspirations and Cultural Exploration

Now, let’s dive a little deeper into Maddox’s journey. This trip wasn’t just a casual visit; it was a significant moment in his academic and personal development. According to People magazine, Maddox has been studying the Korean language and has expressed a strong interest in living in South Korea. This isn’t his first encounter with the culture, but it's certainly a pivotal moment as he explores potential schools in Seoul. Angelina, ever the supportive parent, made sure to carve out time for this special outing amidst her busy schedule. Before heading out with Maddox, she also enjoyed a meal with her son Pax at a traditional Korean BBQ restaurant on November 1. It’s clear that Angelina values these moments with her children, cherishing the time they have together before Maddox embarks on this new chapter.

Where Was Brad Pitt During This Special Trip?

One thing you might be wondering is, where was Maddox’s dad, Brad Pitt, during this significant moment? Well, Brad and Angelina’s custody battle continues to be a complex and sensitive topic. While the couple remains embroiled in legal proceedings over the custody of their six children, it’s been revealed that Maddox, along with his siblings Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and the twins Knox and Vivienne, might soon have a say in which parent they wish to live with. This marks a crucial turning point in their ongoing legal saga.

In early October, psychologist Stan Katz submitted a document to the Superior Court of California, signaling the start of an official custody evaluation. This process could involve interviews with family caregivers and the children themselves, ultimately determining the outcome of the custody battle between Angelina, 43, and Brad, 54. The stakes are high, and the decisions made during this evaluation could shape the future of the Jolie-Pitt family dynamic.

What Do the Kids Want?

Insiders have shared that the Jolie-Pitt children are currently in Los Angeles for the evaluation process. This is a critical time for them, as their voices could play a pivotal role in resolving the custody battle. “The Pitt-Jolie kids are currently in LA for the evaluation process,” an insider told In Touch magazine. “They are going to have their say, and what they say could ultimately decide everything.”

So, what do the kids want? It seems they’re tired of the ongoing conflict. “The way it stands now, the kids just want the tug-of-war to be over. Most of them would be fine splitting half their time between Mom and Dad — but Angelina still wants primary custody,” the source added. It’s a delicate situation, and one that highlights the complexity of family dynamics, even for a household as high-profile as the Jolie-Pitts.
