Angelina Jolie is reportedly struggling to manage her teenage children on her own and has enlisted the help of her eldest son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt. Angelina is particularly concerned about her kids, 19-year-old Shiloh and 21-year-old Pax.
The Salt star has reportedly given her growing children significant freedom, and she worries about them, especially after Pax had multiple road accidents in recent years.
“Angelina is brushing this latest incident off as a case of Pax experimenting and pushing boundaries,” an insider told Radar Online. “But it’s no secret that she’s struggling to keep her kids in line,” they added.
Shiloh, on the other hand, has also been causing her mother stress. The aspiring dancer has been spending time with aspiring model and fellow dancer Keoni Rose. “Angelina gives her a lot of freedom and insists she totally trusts her,” the insider shared. “But, of course, it’s stressful seeing her making her own way. She’s at the stage where she’s rebelling, and that’s worrisome,” they added.
The actress reportedly relied on Maddox, 23, to keep his younger siblings in check, particularly after her 2014 split from Brad Pitt. “Angie always depended on Maddox to keep the younger kids in line,” said the mole. “He was very much the man of the house, who stepped up massively when she and Pitt broke up – even though he was only 15 at the time,” the insider explained.
However, Maddox is now traveling extensively and “focused on building his own life,” making him rarely available. The insider revealed: “And Angie has to fend for herself because she doesn’t really trust anyone except Maddox with highly personal family stuff.” Angelina Jolie also shares daughters Zahara, Vivienne, and son Knox with Brad Pitt.
