Brad Pitt’s strained relationship with kids amid legal war
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s lengthy legal battle shows no signs of slowing down, stretching into its eighth year with reports suggesting a potential resolution in 2025 as their “War of the Roses” heads to trial. Jolie earlier made serious allegations against Pitt, including an incident on a private jet in which she claimed he physically abused her in front of their children and used foul language.
Meanwhile, Pitt, who has been dating the much younger girlfriend Ines de Ramon, saw multiple children, including his biological kids with Jolie—Shiloh and Vivienne—opt to drop his last name, choosing instead to take their mother’s surname. Pitt and Jolie share six kids including Maddox, 22; Pax, 20; Zahara, 19; Shiloh, 18; and twins Vivienne and Knox, 15.
A source earlier told Life & Style that the actor was planning to leave Hollywood for Europe after reports that his kids have nothing to do with him. “Brad has always considered L.A. home for so long, it’s where his production company is based and so much of his real estate, plus he’s always felt like it was the best place to connect with his kids and give them some stability,” the insider informed the outlet. “But sadly, he’s rarely able to see them these days, which is heartbreaking for him,” they added.
The insider added, “He’s still haunted by being so close to them and yet so far. He’s now saying a change of scenery might be what his mind needs, at least until they start wanting to spend time with him again.”
