Is Angelina Jolie trying to hold Brad Pitt closer only because of his money?

It has been years since Jolie and Pitt ended things between them. But their connection is yet to fully conclude as the estranged couple has not finalized their divorce or custody battle.

According to the new issue of Globe Magazine, Jolie has been using the "Ad Astra" actor's money to spend recklessly on things their children want to buy. She also advises them not to look at the price tags anymore.

"She takes delight by telling them money's no object and to spend what they want at the stores then watching them rack up the bills before she sends the invoice directly to Brad.

Amid her divorce and custody battle, Jolie expressed her desire to see her family finally heal after years of legal showdowns. In an interview with The Guardian, she revealed that she has been wanting things to end so they could all move forward.

"It's not that I want to talk about anything really, because I just want my family to heal. And I want everyone to move forward - all of us, including their dad. I want us to heal and be peaceful. We'll always be a family," she went on.
