[Gist]Angelina Jolie has "driven a wedge" between Brad Pitt and their children "making it difficult" for him to have a relationship with them

Angelina Jolie is reportedly "making it difficult" for estranged husband Brad Pitt to have a relationship with their six children.

The couple are in the middle of a bitter two-year custody battle and Angelina Jolie is making it harder. According to TMZ, the 43-year-old actress has "driven a wedge" between Pitt, 54, and their children Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and Vivienne and Knox, 9.

Sources report that while Angelina hasn't "blocked" Brad from seeing their kids, she continues to exert influence over them such that Brad is now having trouble connecting with his children, some of whom don't even want to see him. The 3 boys have been influenced the most and are now cold towards their father but girls are more open toward Brad.

The divorce judge issued a report criticizing Angelina for not allowing the children to properly interact with their dad. The judge laid down a cell phone policy in which Brad can call and text the kids at will, and Angelina can't monitor the conversations.
