“He’s always been extremely positive about how Angie’s a good mother, and the goal was to resolve everything for the kids and the whole family, and they’re working toward that,” the source revealed. A different insider added, “He is spending more time with the kids when they are in LA. He has even spent some time with Maddox and Pax. Things are definitely calming down.”

It was originally reported that Maddox, 15, was involved in the incident that led to Brad’s FBI questioning. The teen allegedly defended his mother during an argument, which caused the Allied star to lunge at him.
