Au revoir! Estranged couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are saying goodbye to Château Miraval, their expansive estate and vineyard in the village of Correns, France. Multiple sources tell Us Weekly that the pair have put the home up for sale following Jolie’s September 19 divorce filing.“The home has been valued and is going on the market any day now,” an insider tells Us, adding that changes will be made to Jolie and Pitt’s line of rosé, which is created at Château Miraval’s prize-winning vineyards.The insider adds: “It currently says 'Jolie-Pitt' on the Château Miraval bottles, and the next season's batch will have a new reprinted label with no names written on it.”Another source tells Us that Brangelina is planning to sell all of their joint property in the wake of their breakup.The Fight Club hunk, 52, and the Academy Award–winning actress, 41, purchased Château Miraval in 2012 for an estimated $60 million and tied the knot there on August 23, 2014. The 1,200-acre property boasts 35 rooms and features pine forests, olive groves, terraced hillsides, working vineyards, a private lake and, yes, even a moat.As previously reported, Jolie filed divorce documents last month, citing irreconcilable differences and requesting sole physical custody of her and Pitt’s six children, Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, and Shiloh, 10, and 8-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.The Maleficent star and her brood are currently living in a rental house in Los Angeles. “It is a five-bedroom, 4,400-square-foot bluff-top estate with a private path that leads to the beach," an insider confirmed to Us on September 24. The temporary home is also outfitted with a “lagoon-style heated pool, ocean views, media room, in-home theater, gourmet kitchen, separate guest house with bedroom, bath and gym, spacious patios with ocean-view dining and entertainment space,” the source said.The family previously split their time between two homes Pitt owns in the L.A. area: a sprawling compound in Los Feliz and a 4,088-square-foot beachside house in Malibu.

Daddy knows best? Brad Pitt is speaking with Angelina Jolie's estranged father, Jon Voight, about their divorce, Us Weekly exclusively reveals.A source tells Us that the Oscar-winning actor, 77, and Pitt, 52, have remained close over the years since the couple got together in 2005."[Pitt] told her dad that what he loves about her is how passionate and extreme she is," the source says. "He's been drawn to that." The Ray Donovan star has had some choice words to his son-in-law about his world-famous daughter, however. In their discussions, Voight has told Pitt that Jolie, 41, is "erratic" like her mother, the late Marcheline Bertrand, the insider says. Jolie was always close to Bertrand, who died at age 56 from ovarian cancer in 2007. (Voight and Bertrand were married from 1971 to 1980.) The Maleficent actress and Voight, meanwhile, have had a well-known bumpy relationship punctuated by long periods of estrangement. In fact, Jolie isn't happy that he's been giving Pitt advice."She is really pissed at her dad," the insider tells Us. "She is really bothered that he is talking to Brad. … Angelina is speaking to [Voight] but not a lot and not telling him hardly anything because she doesn’t trust him." As previously reported, Jolie filed for divorce on September 19, after two years of marriage. Jolie was given temporary physically custody of their children — Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and 8-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne — although the pair continue to share legal custody.Pitt reunited with their kids October 8 for the first time since the divorce filing. However, as Us exclusively revealed, Maddox was not in attendance."He chose not to go and stayed with Angie," a Jolie confidant told Us. A source added: "It wasn't full of joy and happiness."

"He doesn't really see himself as Brad's son."Maddox and Pitt were involved in a mid-air altercation on a Sept. 14 flight, which led to an anonymous call being placed with the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services [DCFS] claiming the "Fight Club" actor was both physically and verbally abusive towards his eldest son.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s Former Bodyguard Claims He Practically ’Fathered’ the Children

Three’s company. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s former bodyguard, Mark Billingham, says that he practically “fathered” the couple’s six children in a new interview published Sunday, October 16.The former SAS officer, who worked for the globetrotting Hollywood couple as their head of security for 18 months, told the U.K.’s The Sun that the primary concern for the pair was the safety of their children — Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10 and 8-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.“The biggest concern for them was the kidnapping of the kids, it’s all about money,” Billingham, 51, told the paper. “Angie and Brad are very worried about who goes near the children.” The security officer added that Jolie, 41, and Pitt, 52, were comfortable having Billingham around their children, however. “It was clear from the start we had a great chemistry and they trusted me with the kids,” he said. “We got very close, I was living with them all the time. I could take the kids anywhere I wanted to on my own. No one else was allowed to do that.”
Billingham even claimed that if he wanted to bring in extra people, “they wouldn’t let any of those near the kids.” “They could look out for them from a distance but they couldn’t physically touch them,” he explained. “I took them swimming. I fathered them, basically.”Most recently, Billingham told The Sun that he watched over the pair’s eldest while the Maleficent actress was traveling for her work with refugees. “She recently went into Iraq for the UN and I looked after her beforehand, got her ready for it and looked after Maddox when she went in,” he said.When his duties did extend beyond the children, Billingham said, they involved making sure that Jolie and Pitt were always looking presentable and feeling comfortable in social settings.“What surprised me was their low level of common sense,” Billingham said. “I found it crazy when they would ask me questions like, ‘How do I go down to that bar?’ and ‘What do I need to do to get there?’ They’re not stupid, but because of the world they live in they just haven’t done something like that for so long. I found that weird.”Billingham, who will join three other show hosts to helm the British Game Show Channel 4’s SAS: Who Dares Win, says he ultimately left his post as the pair’s primary bodyguard because he needed a return to normalcy.“I never had a private life. I was exhausted,” he said, adding that he didn’t have time to see his own six kids. “I lost direction in my own family life.”As previously reported, Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt last month, and the pair currently share legal custody of the children, though the actress has sole physical custody.
