Angelina Jolie House Hunting With Her Kids in New York
The ‘Maleficent’ actress is seemingly looking to settle down with her children in the Big Apple as the family were recently spotted searching for a house in the city.
AceShowbiz –Angelina Jolie has been seen apartment hunting in New York with her children. The “Maleficent” actress, 48, is still entangled in a bitter battle with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, 59, over the winery they formerly co-owned in France, and was seen looking for a new home in the city with her 19-year-old son Pax and 18-year-old daughter Zahara at the weekend.
The trio landed at JFK Airport on Thursday and “hit the streets for their search the following day,” Page Six said.
Angelina is also the mother of Maddox, 21, Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15, who she had with “Fight Club” actor Brad Pitt before their divorce in 2019 after five years of marriage.
It was reported earlier this month Angelina taking over artist Jean-Michel Basquiat’s apartment and studio on 57 Jones Street for her new fashion business Atelier Jolie.
One of the most recent developments in her battle with Brad over their winery was a report the actor is determined to force out the Russian vodka oligarch to whom Angelina secretly sold her share of their $500 million French vineyard.
The former couple bought Chateau Miraval in 2008 and married there in an intimate ceremony in 2014, but have been battling over it since their split.
Page Six reported Brad is furious at Yuri Shefler for mocking him in court filings revealed on 10 July as “an actor” and “not a winemaker.” A source told the outlet, “Brad stands by the people who he’s done business with and he doesn’t give into bullies.”
Insiders also say Brad sees Angelina’s sale to the Russian as “vindictive” as Jolie knew he had previously turned down an approach to buy the chateau from Yuri.
The report came after attorneys for Angelina’s former investment company Nouvel claimed in newly-lodged court papers Brad “wasted” the firm’s assets by “spending millions on vanity projects” including “rebuilding a staircase four times and spending millions to restore a recording studio.”
Documents also showed lawyers branded Brad’s alleged behaviour “misconduct” and say it escalated after Angelina sold Nouvel in October 2021 to a company controlled by oligarch Yuri. The papers stated, “Incensed that Jolie sold Nouvel to Stoli rather than him, Pitt has acted like a petulant child, refusing to treat Nouvel as an equal partner in the business.”
Angelina is said to have allegedly agreed to divide the company up 68 percent to 38 per cent in Brad’s favour as he had invested more into their 35-room manse.
During summer 2021, the actor found out via a press release that Jolie had sold her 50 percent stake to a “Russian oligarch,” who Brad had previously turned down.
Brad filed his original lawsuit against the Atelier Jolie founder in February 2022, claiming she deprived him “of his right to enjoy his private home and to oversee the business he developed from scratch.” The star previously claimed his “vindictive” ex-wife “collaborated in secret” with Yuri, who also owns Stoli Group, to ensure he would be “kept in the dark.”
