Brad Pitt’s Custody Order Ends as Twins Turn 18

A long‑standing court‑ordered custody arrangement for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s children will end on July 12, when twins Knox and Vivienne reach the age of 18. The order, put in place after the couple’s 2016 divorce, has governed the parents’ legal responsibilities for nearly a decade.

Sources say Pitt is feeling emotional about the milestone and fears growing farther apart from his children, while Jolie has hinted that her future relocation plans depend on the twins’ decisions. The ending of the custody order coincides with ongoing litigation between the former spouses over their Château Miraval winery, but the two matters remain separate.

The development has drawn public attention to the broader family dynamics, including older children who have reportedly dropped Pitt’s surname. No official comment has been made by either actor, and the situation continues to evolve as the twins approach adulthood.
