Brad Pitt 'excited' to reunite with kids after court grants him joint custody Entertainment Brad Pitt is more content today than he’s ever been,' a source said Brad Pitt is 'excited' to reunite with his kids after winning their joint custody against Angelina Jolie last month. "He’s over the moon now,” a source told of Pitt's reaction to a tentative ruling issued by Judge John Ouderkirk in May 2021. Ouderkirk said that Jolie’s testimony “lacked credibility in many important areas, and the existing custody order between the parties must be modified, per Mr. Pitt’s request, in the best interests of the children," as revealed in court documents previously obtained by media outlets.
