Angelina split from Brad in September 2016 after a fight aboard a flight on a private plane when out of the country.
It seemed like the divorce may wrap up soon as they were only married for two years. But the proceedings drag on.
It has been claimed by multiple outlets that the two have been in therapy together and with the children.
Together they have Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 11, and twins Knox and Vivienne, nine.

Last week she told Elle magazine what advice she gives her daughters Shiloh, Zahara and Vivienne.
‘I tell my daughters, “What sets you apart is what you are willing to do for others. Anyone can put on a dress and makeup. It’s your mind that will define you,”‘ she said.

The By The Sea director added that she also told her children, ‘Find out who you are, what you think, and what you stand for.
‘And fight for others to have those same freedoms. A life of service is worth living.’
Angelina’s life changed in 2001 when she visited Cambodia for Tomb Raider. Soon after she started working with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
In 2012 she co-founded the Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative.
For Elle, the Salt actress sat down with former Secretary of State John Kerry to discuss her continuing campaign against the use of rape and sexual violence as weapons of war.
The By The Sea director added that she also told her children, ‘Find out who you are, what you think, and what you stand for’
She first met Kerry in April 2013, when he was Secretary of State and she was urging world leaders to commit to action to end impunity for sexual violence against women and girls and men and boys in conflict zones.
She also said she is hopeful that men and women working together can achieve positive change for women’s rights globally.
‘I think of how hard women fought to get us to where we are today,’ said the First They Killed My Father director.
‘Everything counts, from the way you hold yourself in daily life and educate yourself on your own rights, to solidarity with other women around the world.’
She continues her campaign against sexual violence in conflict because there is so much left to do.

‘When it comes down to it, we still treat violence against women as a lesser crime,’ added the LA native.
‘In some countries, sexual violence is less of a taboo discussion. It’s something more people expect their leaders to act on.
‘Over 150 countries have signed a commitment to end impunity for war-zone rape.
‘There are new teams in place to gather evidence and support prosecutions.
‘I was in Kenya last summer as UN peacekeeping troops received new training, since peacekeepers have been part of the problem. We’re working with NATO on training, protection, and getting more women in the military. But there is so far to go.’
Angelina was on the cover of Elle in honor of International Women’s Day, which falls on March 8.
The issue, which is the first official issue under ELLE new editor in chief Nina Garcia, will be on newsstands nationwide February 20.
