Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are talking again as they put the well-being of their children first.
According to E! News the former couple – who had a messy split in September – are getting along better and now speaking directly instead of through members of their team.
“Things have calmed between Brad and Angelina. It’s not as tense as it had been,” a source said. “They are focused on the kids and working to do what’s best for them.
“They recently started talking again and it’s a significant step. Up until now everything was through lawyers and assistants. They did not speak at all after the plane incident and everything that went down in the press.”

E! News reports that the children’s and their own therapists were the ones who recommended they start speaking directly.
The insider said Brad and Angelina “are focused on the kids and taking small steps to mend what has happened. Right now they are only speaking about the kids and their schedules, but it’s a positive step.”
Now the former couple, who called it quits after 11 years together and two years of marriage, are trying to make it work for the sake of their six children Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
The source added: “Brad hopes that they can be successful at co-parenting and get to a place where they can be friendly. They both have agreed to put the kids first.”
