Angelina Jolie Faces Emotional Goodbye to Kids
Angelina Jolie's children with Brad Pitt reportedly plan to remain in the U.S. as she prepares to move overseas.
"The hard part is that most of her kids will not be coming with her," revealed an insider.
According to the source, her biological children with ex Brad Pitt – daughter Shiloh [Jolie-Pitt], 20, and 18-year-old twins Knox [Jolie-Pitt] and Vivienne [Jolie-Pitt] – want to stay in L.A.
Meanwhile, her adopted kids – sons Maddox [Jolie-Pitt], 25, and Pax [Jolie-Pitt], 22, and daughter Zahara [Jolie-Pitt], 21 – want to live on the East Coast, said the source.
"Angelina is happy that they're making their own lives and she will of course come back to the States to visit them," said the source.
"But it's still going to be a huge adjustment. She's very emotional about it."
The 51-year-old actress unloaded her L.A. mansion for $24.75million and has long planned to set down roots in Europe, said an insider.

Aside from the heartache of being separated from her children, the Maleficent actress remains embroiled in her ongoing legal battle with Pitt, 62, over the sale of her share in their French winery, Château Miraval, to Stoli group founder Yuri Shefler.
"The case is set to go to trial in February," said the source. "But in the meantime, Brad's pushing very aggressively for all sorts of documents. The whole thing is still causing her piles of stress."
