Two weeks after she filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie is “staying strong for her kids” as the whole family struggles to cope with life after the split, a source close to the situation tells PEOPLE. The source says Jolie and all of the kids have started therapy: “It’s been a traumatic situation.”In PEOPLE’s new cover story, sources detail the intense behind-the-scenes divorce negotiations, the couple’s battles over their kids’ upbringing and the final fight aboard their private plane that triggered an investigation by L.A.’s Department of Children and Family Services. Jolie, 41, and their six children spent the first weeks after the split secluded in an L.A.-area rental home, with friends and her brother James Haven at her side. “She did what she felt she had to do to protect the safety of the kids,” says a source.Meanwhile, a Pitt source tells PEOPLE the actor “has been absolutely devastated and heartbroken by the events of the past several weeks, both in terms of how those events have been wrongfully portrayed and how they have threatened to jeopardize his family’s ability to heal and move forward.” As Jolie and Pitt tangle over their kids’ future—Jolie wants sole physical custody, Pitt wants shared custody—Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and 8-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox are adjusting to an upended life. At home with Jolie, they’ve been watching movies and playing in the pool. “They didn’t leave the rental house for days,” says a source close to the family. “It was hard for all of them. They are used to more activities and more entertainment so it’s difficult for them to just stay at the house. The younger kids don’t understand what’s going on.” On Sept. 30 Jolie and Pitt, 52, agreed to a temporary plan recommended by DCFS: Until Oct. 20 the children will remain with Jolie, while Pitt is getting visitation with a therapist present for the first meeting. Along with family therapy, both Jolie and Pitt will undergo individual counseling, and Pitt will continue voluntary drug and alcohol testing.“Brad loves his children more than anything in this world, and they matter more than anything else to him,” says a Pitt source. “He will do whatever it takes to be with them, now and always.”

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.

'Angelina completely ignored Marion on the set, and when Marion tried to talk to her she just looked the other way,' a source told DailyMail.com.'Marion was devastated, here she is thinking she is going to meet this great UN ambassador and instead Angelina refuses to speak to the woman because of her own jealousy.'The source also said that rumors of an affair between Pitt and Cotillard are '100 per cent false,' and that Pitt's main concern at this time is his children.'He does not want them reading anything negative in the press about himself or their mother,' said the source.'He's not going to get dirty.' The claims come as Marion felt compelled to come out and issue a statement to confirm her pregnancy and reiterate that she has not been involved in the split. The 40-year-old said on Wednesday: 'This is going to be my first and only reaction to the whirlwind news that broke 24 hours ago and that I was swept up into.'I am not used to commenting on things like this nor taking them seriously, but as this situation is spiraling and affecting people I love, I have to speak up'.She went on to confirm that her partner of eight years Guillaume Canet is the father of her unborn child.A source told PageSix that Jolie 'hired a private eye because she felt that he was fooling around with her on the set, and it turns out, he was. And that was the final straw'.Cotillard went on: 'And to all the media and the haters who are quick to pass judgment, I sincerely wish you a swift recovery.'She concluded her message by wishing Brad and Angelina Jolie well.'Finally, I do very much wish that Angelina and Brad, both whom I deeply respect, will find peace in this very tumultuous moment. With all my love, Marion'.Cotillard stars alongside Pitt in the upcoming spy thriller Allied and their onscreen sexual chemistry has been described as 'electric'.According to the film's producer, Graham King, Pitt and Cotillard had an immediate connection.'Brad and Marion immediately had the utmost respect for each other, so once they delved into their characters, their chemistry was electric,' he told People Magazine back in August.'It was crucial for Brad and Marion to not only begin rehearsing together before the shoot, but they also spent a lot of time developing their characters with the director, Robert Zemeckis,' he added.'By the time we got to set, it was really amazing to see these characters already feel lived-in and real.'The pair play a information officer and French Resistance fighter who fall in love. They began filming the movie in England in February this year and also travelled to Casablanca and the Canary Islands for shoots.Angelina filed for divorce from Pitt on Monday for 'the health of her family', two years after they wed at their French estate Chateau Miraval.The actress filed papers citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split and asked for physical custody of the couple's three biological children as well as their three adopted children - Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, and Zahara, 11.A source close to the couple said that the Maleficent star was upset over the way Pitt was parenting their brood and 'fed up' with his use of weed and alcohol, as well as anger issues.
