Brad Pitt 'cuts ties with two of his kids' after bitter divorce from Angelina
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie share a brood of six: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne. He is reportedly cutting ties with two of his children
Brad Pitt is reportedly cut ties with two of the children he shares with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. The 61-year-old Fight Club actor and Angelina, 50, tied the knot it 2014 after a whirlwind romance that started on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith back in 2005.
The pair, once considered a golden couple of Hollywood, parted ways in 2016, sparking a high-profile split that saw Angelina file for divorce in the same year. A series of bitter disputes over custody and business interests followed, some of which remain unresolved - despite them finalising their split this year.
The ex-couple's legal wrangles have included battles over their six children and the division of their shared assets, such as their Château Miraval winery located in France - dubbed the battle of rosé.
Brad and Angelina share a brood of six: Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, both 16. However, Brad has a strained relationship with Pax, who once called him a 'world-class a**hole'.
After Pax was pictured stumbling out of the Chateau Marmont with pals last month, a source close to Brad claimed the actor was no longer concerned with "what Pax does or doesn't do".
"Brad honestly considers his relationship with Pax unfixable," they added. He is seemingly ready to cut ties with one more child while holding out hope for the remaining children.
Shiloh, 19, legally changed her surname last year when she turned 18 to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie, dropping the 'Pitt'. Meanwhile, at least three of the other four kids have informally dropped Brad's surname.
Many of the children seem to have a strained relationship with Brad as their other son, Maddox, was allegedly involved in a physical confrontation with the actor on a private jet in 2016.
When asked about his relationship with his dad, he told In Touch Weekly in 2019: "Whatever happens, happens."
The source went on to tell MailOnline that Brad blames Angelia for the fractured relationship with their kids, but another source claimed the Fight Club star "continues to play the victim". The Mirror have reached out to reps of Brad and Angelina for comment.
Brad recently made a very rare comment about the closure of his divorce proceedings. He said "I don't think it was that major of a thing. Just something coming to fruition. Legally."
In a candid GQ interview, Brad touched upon the relentless media attention he's faced, remarking: "It's been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way."
When Brad and Angelina's divorce was finalised, her lawyer released a statement saying: "Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.'
Lawyer James Simon added to the Associated Press: "More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family. This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago.'

Channel 5 quietly axe popular show after just one series – despite being branded the new Wife Swap
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHANNEL 5 have quietly axed one of their reality TV shows after just one series. The programme was launched to much fanfare and was tipped to be the modern-day equivalent of iconic hit Wife Swap but it has been revealed that it won't be back for a second series. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Channel 5's Wife on Strike has been axed after just one series Credit: Channel 5 3 Wife on Strike featured plenty of fed-up wives quitting Credit: Channel 5 Wife On Strike was first launched in November 2023 but as the series continued, ratings for the show began to dip and it soon fell below one million viewers. Bosses decided to pull the series after just two episodes and instead re-launched the remaining episodes last July as Mums On Strike with a slightly re-tooled edit and premise. However, insiders have now confirmed to the Mail Online that the show has been shelved despite the revamp. A source told the publication: "Wife On Strike was reminiscent of the Wife Swap days when millions of nosey viewers would tune in for their reality fix. "But it just failed to catch on with the audience and was underperforming in the highly competitive prime time slot where original dramas could easily pull in double the numbers. "While the rest of the series eventually aired under a new name, a decision was made to quietly rest the show with no further episodes planned." The Sun has reached out to Channel 5 for comment. In the programme, it saw the wives of the household move out of the home and give up all household chores and jobs. They left the family home leaving the rest of their family to pick up the pieces and undertake all the jobs normally left to them. Wife On Strike bore striking similarities to popular Channel 4 show Wife Swap. Axed Channel 5 show Mum On Strike returns to air in shock U-turn The programme which featured two totally different wives swapping households to see how others approached family life was first launched in 2003 to huge appeal. It produced many iconic moments and continued to run until 2009 when the format was axed. It aired a total of eleven series across its six years on air.

Love Island winner Jess Hayes reveals why she's banned sex – and hits out at ex who ‘targeted her' for £25k
Jess says she was 'naive' when she won the ITV2 show NO NOOKIE Love Island winner Jess Hayes reveals why she's banned sex – and hits out at ex who 'targeted her' for £25k Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island winner Jess Hayes has lifted the lid on why she has decided to ban sex from her life. Jess, 32, won the first series of Love Island but, a decade on, is now proud to be celibate. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Love Island winner Jess Hayes has revealed why she has given up sex Credit: Stewart Williams 5 The star won the first series of Love Island in 2015 Credit: ITV The single mum-of-two revealed last month she has given up sex for good and now she has revealed the reason behind her choice. Speaking to Mail Online, Jess believes sex is a "pointless activity" if a person is not in a loving relationship. And despite giving the impression on Love Island that she was "sex-obsessed", Jess said this couldn't be further from the truth. "I'm just not interested unless I really connect with a guy," she explained to the publication. Jess added: "I'm not having any, and I don't miss it. I don't want it. It could be years before I have it again, who knows. "I'm not into one-night stands and, believe it or not, I never have been." Jess won the first ever series of Love Island alongside Max Morley in 2015. She worked in a bank at the time and chose to share the £50,000 prize money with Max. The couple appeared smitten and had quickly won over the hearts of the nation. But just six weeks after their triumph, the winners dramatically split when Max was caught spending the night with Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby. I won the first ever Love Island but the fall out from my instant fame was so brutal I've given up sex for good, says Jessica Hayes Looking back, Jess has now accused professional cricket player Max of deliberately "targeting" her. Max had entered the villa as a late bombshell and Jess believes it gave him time to clock how popular she was with viewers. Telling the Mail she is "annoyed" they split the money, Jess added: "So, I do feel he targeted me but, as I say, I was young and naive." Jess was just 22 when she won Love Island and afterwards she threw herself into a lifestyle of wild partying. But three years later, she "hit rock bottom".

Speaking to The Sun On Sunday last month, Jess said: 'I remember feeling very lost and thinking, what now? "You go out a lot and party a lot and sometimes it can be to excess and that's not good for you. "You come out of a show and you're a celebrity and no one says, 'This might only last five minutes'. 'I didn't have good guidance or good management and that didn't help me take the right path. 'There were points where I thought, what the hell am I doing?" Jess is now a devoted mum of two children, five-year-old son Presley and daughter Zendaya Rose, one. The relationships with both of her kids' dads broke down and she is now a single mum. However, Jess said: 'I couldn't ask for more from my children's dads. 'They are in their lives and they are good with them." She added: 'I'm not materialistic at all now and I think that having children, your priorities change. 'And if my daughter tells me she wants to apply for Love Island in 20 years time I will tell her, 'No way — not unless I'm your manager'.' 5 Jess won Love Island alongside Max Morley Credit: ITV2 5 She has accused Max of targeting her on the show Credit: ITV
