Angelina Jolie and her six kids are celebrating New Year's Eve in Colorado amidst her ongoing divorce and custody battle against Brad Pitt. Angie and her children arrived after Christmas, according to an insider.

Angie brought her six children, Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 8, to Colorado after the kids met Brad on Christmas, an insider tells Us Weekly. She and her daughter Vivienne were spotted shopping at a local toy store on Friday, December 30.

Rumor has it, Brad was left "broken and tearful" after his Christmas reunion with his six kids. The "Allied" actor allegedly told his friends, "This has been the worst holiday season of my life."

A friend of Brad tells Daily Mail, "Brad's anguish is palpable right now. He desperately misses having his kids with him at Christmas and New Year. These supervised visits are sheer hell on him. He's broken down in tears so many times - he's not ashamed to cry any more."

According to the friend, Brad still misses Angie. "Brad is like a broken man. He feels betrayed by a woman whom he says he still loves. He misses her despite everything that has happened between them," the friend says, "He was blindsided by their divorce - he still believes Angelina made an impulsive decision and can't figure out how to reverse it and save face."

"He vacillates between being furious with her and longing for her. He thumbs through scrapbooks of photos of better times and wonders how it all went wrong. He calls her but she doesn't return the calls. He sends gifts as peace offerings but she sends them back. He's learned to stay away from the internet rather than risk reading about his situation," continues the pal.

As Brad goes into the New Year, he is determined to "get his kids back, no matter what it takes, what humiliating hoops the legal system makes him jump next".
