"I don’t want to say very much about that, except to say it was a very difficult time and we are a family, and we will always be a family," she tells the BBC.

The shock filing came after an alleged incident between the actor and the couple's eldest son Maddox on a private plane. While the Dept. of Children and Family Services investigated the matter, Brad was cleared of any child abuse claims.

In January, Angelina and Brad released their first joint statement amid the custody battle.

With the agenda to protect the privacy of their six children, the former couple's statement given to The Daily Mail read: "The parties and their counsel have signed agreements to preserve the privacy rights of their children and family by keeping all court documents confidential and engaging a private judge to make any necessary legal decisions and to facilitate the expeditious resolution of any remaining issues".
