Hollywood star Brad Pitt is reportedly eager to mend his strained relationship with his children. After years of legal battles with ex-wife Angelina Jolie, Brad seems ready to compromise to gain a chance to reconnect with his family.
The couple, who divorced in 2017, have been entangled in disputes over assets, including a $500 million French winery. However, the ongoing feud has impacted more than just their finances—it has created a significant rift between Brad and his six children: Maddox (23), Pax (20), Zahara (19), Shiloh (18), and twins Vivienne and Knox (15).
Brad’s Plea to Reunite with His Children
Reports suggest that Brad’s separation from his children has taken a toll on him emotionally. Currently, he has visitation rights only with his youngest two children. Sources close to Brad reveal that he feels the increasing distance deeply, especially during the holiday season. He has expressed his willingness to let go of his pride and make sacrifices to repair the relationship with his kids.
“Brad just wants to spend time with his children. The isolation is eating him up,” shared an insider. The actor is reportedly willing to put aside the ongoing legal disagreements with Angelina if it means he can reconnect with his family.
Children Choosing to Distance Themselves
While Brad is desperate to reunite, reports highlight the growing distance between him and his children. It’s been alleged that some of them have even dropped his surname. For instance, Shiloh is said to have filed a petition to change her name legally, while others have informally adopted Jolie as their last name.
This detachment has reportedly been heartbreaking for Brad, who has not had meaningful contact with most of his children for years.
The History of Brad and Angelina’s Relationship
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, one of Hollywood’s most talked-about couples, began dating in 2005 and tied the knot in 2014. However, their marriage was short-lived, and they separated in 2016, finalizing their divorce the following year.
During their time together, Angelina had already adopted Maddox, Pax, and Zahara. Brad later adopted them officially, and the couple welcomed three biological children: Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox. Since their separation, the family dynamic has shifted significantly, with Brad largely distanced from his children.
Hope for Resolution
The latest developments indicate that Brad is ready to do whatever it takes to reunite with his kids, even if it means ending his legal battle with Angelina on her terms. While it’s unclear how Angelina might respond, this could be a turning point in their tumultuous relationship and Brad’s journey to rebuild his family ties.
