Before He Cheats? Brangelina Pre-Nup Has Strict Adultery Clause, Source Claims — Inside The $425M Contract

Before trading vows, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt came to a mutual agreement on a prenuptial agreement, as an insider tells this week’s Star that the pact “was heavily encouraged by their lawyers” — including a provision that would award the humanitarian actress the majority of time with their children, should the hunk leave her for someone else.
“If Brad gets too serious with another woman while they are married,” a source said, “she’ll get primary custody if they split.”
The couple “said that having a prenup is the best way to protect their kids,” the source said. The A-list couple has a total net worth of $425 million; with the 50-year-old Moneyball star’s assets valued at $240 million, and The Tourist star’s at $185 million.
According to their agreement, should they part ways, each will leave with the millions they brought into the union on their own, while anything they earn as a married couple would be funneled into a trust for their children, where the cash would be evenly divided six ways.
The source said that should a split occur, none of the couple’s post-marriage earnings “would go to Brad or Angie or a subsequent partner,” adding that the arrangement they worked out “really seemed like the fairest way to go about it."
In addition to the prenup, the Mr. & Mrs. Smith stars also made official their respective wills, which would earmark the lion’s share of their savings and properties to their kids (Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne).

They will also channel funds “to go to orphanages in each of the countries where they adopted kids” -- Vietnam, Cambodia and Ethiopia.
Another charity that is slated to benefit from the will is cancer research, as a source said that the 39-year-old Maleficent star, who shocked the world announcing she’d undergone a double mastectomy last year, “knows better than anyone that life can throw all sorts of unexpected turns at you.”
