The past few months have been rough on Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The divorce has shaken up the Brangelina clan.

Later, the legal battle over the custody of children has stirred the pot further. Now, it appears the couple wants to put their careers on hold to sort personal issues.

Pitt, who was recently seen in Netflix's War Machine with World War Z 2 and Ad Astra in the pipeline (according to IMDb), and Jolie, who has signed only Maleficent 2, have reportedly decided not to sign new projects for the sake of their children.

"Neither Brad, nor Angelina have plans to act anytime soon. Both Brad and Angelina have made the decision to cut back on acting work, as it takes them away from home for such long periods of time, and they won't be able to be there for the kids as much as they want," a source told  Hollywood Life.

The source said while Brad has signed World War Z sequel, the shooting date is not set. Angelina's Maleficent sequel too is in the development stage, so filming won't start for some time.

"The kids are everything to [Brad and Angelina]. They're committed to giving them the best upbringing possible, and as normal a childhood as they can, given the circumstances. The breakup made them even more determined to do so, as the kids really suffered emotionally following the split," the source added.

But will this bring the couple together? The source clarifies, "Brad and Angelina may still have issues with each other, but they are working hard at resolving them, and are both determined to provide a stable and loving home for the children. They are parents, number one, and Hollywood stars, number two."
