    Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt awarded joint custody of children

    Brangelina court drama has reached its climax as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been granted joint custody of their children. The couple has six children: Maddox,19, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14 and 12-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.

    John Ouderkirk, the private judge hired to supervise the case has finally provided a decision on the dragged court battle which began in 2016 as the couple filed for divorce. BBC News reported that the ruling would “significantly increase” Pitt’s time with children.

    Maddox, the eldest, is not legally bound to the court decision.

    According to reports, Jolie is furious with the decision and will “continue the legal fight because the decision is tentative”. Jolie also has “other issues of concern” apart from joint custody and plans to challenge the court decision.

    The court battle was stretched out over several months and involved testimonies and inputs from various witnesses, therapists and experts to reach a conclusive decision. However, Jolie was furious at the judge for not allowing the children to testify in court.

    Pitt was investigated on charges of attempted child abuse which he successfully cleared out of.

    Jolie, 45, and Pitt, 57, have been embroiled in a bitter custody and divorce battle since Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, ending their jet-setting, movie star lifestyle together that made them one of Hollywood’s superstar couples. Speaking to Vogue last year, Jolie had revealed that she parted ways with Pitt for the “wellbeing” of her family.

However, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services cleared Pitt in November 2016 after investigating the actor.

    Despite Pitt confessing about quitting drinking and smoking marijuana in 2017, Jolie still did not abandon legal accusations against him.

    Brangelina met on the set of the 2005 blockbuster Mr and Mrs Smith and tied the knot in 2014.

    According to details, the affair ended ‘amicably’ and is not connected to his decision to step down from the company’s board.

    The company’s board did an investigation into the affair after a female employee sent a letter in 2019 alleging that she and Gates had a ‘sexual relationship’ over the years.

    “Microsoft received a concern in the latter half of 2019 that Bill Gates sought to initiate an intimate relationship with a company employee in the year 2000,” Shaw said in an emailed statement.

    “A committee of the Board reviewed the concern, aided by an outside law firm to conduct a thorough investigation. Throughout the investigation, Microsoft provided extensive support to the employee who raised the concern.”

    It is not clear what role the investigation or the affair played in the decision of Gates and his wife, Melinda French Gates divorce after 27 years of marriage. The couple announced their divorce earlier this month.

    Bill, Melinda Gates part ways after 27 years of marriage

    Bill and Melinda Gates have parted ways after 27 years of marriage. The couple was one of the world’s wealthiest couples, with an estimated net worth of some $130 billion,

    In an official statement posted on social media, the Microsoft co-founder and his former wife announced the news, saying: “After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage.”

    “Over the last 27 years, we have raised three incredible children and built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives,” said the couple further adding that they will continue to work together at the foundation.

    “We no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives,” continued the statement.

    The family has requested for privacy and space to “navigate this new life”.

    Bill and Melinda met in 1987 when Melinda joined Microsoft as a product manager. The two were unexpectedly seated next to each other at a work dinner and instantly hit it off. After two weeks when Gates asked Melinda out on a first date, she initially rejected him because he was not “spontaneous enough.” Bill called her two hours later and asked for a date that night. They later tied the knot in 1994.

    The couple have three children: Jennifer, Rory, and Phoebe.

    The announcement comes two years after the divorce of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, another of the world’s wealthiest people, and his wife MacKenzie.

    Gates, 65, was a geeky teenager when he started what would become the world’s most valuable company, and was for a time the world’s richest man and most prominent philanthropist.

    He stepped down as Microsoft chief executive in 2008 to devote more time to philanthropy and later left the board, keeping only the title of “founder and technology advisor.”

    Speaking to a local magazine, Zaidi shared that before her divorce, she requested her husband to leave their house as their children were growing up but he refused because the other woman had told him to end things with her first. Zaidi has two children – a daughter and a son.

    “I don’t understand why women cry after divorce for a person who is leaving them,” said Zaidi. “Crying is for when your husband passes away and you are in shock. I always wished that my house would not break or my husband should not divorce me. And even if he has no relations with me, his relationship with the children should not be bad so that it does not affect them.”

    She shared that after being in a relationship with the other woman for two years, her husband forcibly divorced her at the behest of his second wife.

    “I told him to do whatever you want but do not break our family as our children are growing but the other lady made sure to end our family,” said Ismat.

    The actor went on to say that when her husband divorced her, her in-laws stepped in to support her.

    “After the divorce, my husband wanted me to leave the house but my in-laws were very supportive. They said no one will leave the house and no extra person will enter this house. She will live here because we brought her,” said Ismat, adding that she was married for 23 years.

    “After my divorce, I have been really strong because my in-laws were really supportive and they even kept me in their house.”

    She shared that because of their support, she started working in the television industry right after her divorce and has been working since.

    Zaidi has been part of several super hit dramas including Mann Mayal, Beti, Meri Guriya, Deewangi, Meherposh and most recently Fitoor.
