It’s usually the children who suffer the most when parents get divorced…

According to reports, Brad Pitt will only be seeing half of his children this Christmas, as Maddox, Pax, and Zahara Jolie-Pitt have chosen to not spend any time with their father over the holidays.

Reports even go on to suggest that 18-year-old Maddox and 16-yer-old Pax are “not on speaking terms” with Brad Pitt at the moment. Could this be something to do with the plane incident – where Brad Pitt was supposedly violent towards Maddox – a few years ago? No one really knows for sure.

But what we do know – according to several sources – is that 13-year-old Shiloh, and 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne will be spending time with their dad this Christmas. And it will be the first time since the divorce in which a “monitor” won’t be present in the house…

“Brad’s planning on having the younger kids [Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne] on Christmas Eve,” a source told US Magazine.

“He’s hoping they’ll want to spend the night, but he’s really just looking forward to Christmas Eve with them.”

Maddox might not even be spending Christmas with his mother Angelina Jolie, either…

Reports state that he is currently studying at Yonsei University in South Korea, and it’s not yet known whether he, along with 14-year-old Zahara, and Pax, will spend the holidays together with their mom.

We’ll keep you posted if and when we know more…
