Angelina Jolie was spotted at JFK Airport with her six children on Thursday, leaving New York City after celebrating her 46th birthday. The actress wore a chic ensemble, donning a brown Christian Dior trench coat over a black maxi dress and accessorized with brown Salvatore Ferragamo sandals.
She carried a white and navy blue Celine tote bag and a black Louis Vuitton rolling suitcase. Jolie also wore a black face mask for protection.
Accompanying Jolie on the trip were her sons Maddox, Pax, and Knox and her daughters Zahara, Shiloh, and Vivienne.
The family had been in New York for a birthday retreat, likely a welcome break for Jolie as she faces ongoing legal battles with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, over their children’s custody.
Last month, Jolie experienced a setback when the court awarded joint custody to Pitt, except for their eldest son Maddox, who is no longer a minor. According to sources, Jolie was “bitterly disappointed” with the ruling and feels the legal fight is “far from over.”
US Weekly reported that Jolie believes the judge mishandled the case and plans to appeal the decision. A source mentioned that Jolie “will never forgive” Pitt and that she is determined to fight for justice.
The legal battle between Jolie and Pitt has been tumultuous, with Jolie’s legal team claiming that the judge improperly excluded critical evidence related to the children’s health, safety, and welfare.
Additionally, they argue that the judge refused to allow the children to testify in court, potentially denying them a fair trial. Jolie’s lawyers claim the California court code wasn’t followed, specifically regarding custody decisions and domestic violence history.
Brad Pitt’s representatives have not publicly commented on the case, and the proceedings remain sealed. However, Pitt’s legal team maintains that the court proceedings were conducted fairly and that the joint custody ruling is justified.
Despite the ongoing custody battle, Jolie and her children appeared united as they left New York, indicating that family time remains a priority amid the legal turmoil.
