As Brad Pitt, 54, and Angelina Jolie, 43, continue to struggle with their custody and divorce war, their kids are spending a lot of time with another man in their lives: their manny, Oliver Crane.
Sources have said Oliver has formed a strong bond with them in their dad's absence, a claim which was only made more event when RadarOnline.com obtained exclusive photos of him taking Shiloh and Knox to a robotics class in Tarzana, California, last week.
"Oliver is particularly close to Shiloh and Knox," says an insider. "They're really smart kids and love finding out how things work, which is right up Oliver's alley. He's a bit of a geek at heart and loves teaching them new things. He not only accompanies them to cool things like robotics class, but he's also entrusted with driving them."
Amid the family's ongoing drama, Oliver is seen as one of "the few people Angelina can truly rely on."
Even though he's only in his twenties, the beloved manny is often charged with taking care of the Maleficent star's children when she's out of town, thanks to their strong family ties.
"Oliver is the son of one of Angie's oldest friends, her stunt coordinator Simon Crane," said the insider. "She's really closed ranks since her split from Brad and rarely allows anyone into her home. Oliver is one of the lucky few."
