Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are now in private negotiations to settle their divorce, Page Six has confirmed.
After Pitt hired top LA attorney Lance Spiegel, the public sniping has ceased and the two sides are trying to reach an agreement out of court, we’re told.
The sticking point is the custody of their six children. Jolie filed for divorce requesting primary physical custody. Pitt is pushing for shared custody, although he has yet to file any paperwork with the court.
Jolie has also this week hired famous crisis manager Judy Smith, who inspired Kerry Washington’s character on the hit TV show “Scandal.”
Sources tell Page Six that Smith is consulting with Jolie’s legal team as they work out her divorce with Pitt. One insider said, “Smith has been a great help calming things down so the discussions between both sides can move forward.”
Neither side got back to us on Thursday.
