Brad Pitt reportedly resigned to permanently cutting ties with 2 of his kids
Over the past year, it's been reported that Brad Pitt has become estranged from all six of his children following his bitter, nine-years-long divorce battle with their mother, Angelina Jolie. A new report in the Daily Mail said the 61-year-old 'F1' star still holds out hope for a reconciliation with some of his children but that he's resigned to never having a relationship with his two oldest sons, Maddox and Pax. Pitt has long been known to be estranged from 23-year-old Maddox, according to reports. Now, when it comes to 21-year-old Pax, a source has told the Daily Mail: 'Brad honestly considers his relationship with Pax unfixable.' Incidentally, the two young men both were first adopted by Jolie from Cambodia and Vietnam, respectively, before Pitt legally signed on to be their father, early in his relationship with his ex-wife. In 2023, the Daily Mail reported that Pax, as a 16-year-old, slammed Pitt on his private Instagram account in 2020, calling his adopted father 'an awful human being' after the actor won an Academy Award for his performance in 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.' Pax also called his father 'a terrible and despicable person' who makes the youngest of his six children 'tremble with fear.' Pitt's issues with Pax came more into focus last summer when the young man was hospitalized with a reported head injury after crashing his electric bicycle into a car on a busy Los Angeles street. His mother rushed to the hospital to be by her son's side, Page Six reported at the time. But Pitt reportedly stayed away or was shut out. At the time of the accident, Pax wasn't wearing a helmet, and it was reported that he often didn't wear a helmet and had been involved in other accidents. The implication that Pax might be dealing with some issues came up again last month when he was photographed by the paparazzi in the early morning hours, stumbling out of the famed Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles, with a dazed grin and needing to be held up by friends, the Daily Mail reported. The group reported headed to a strip club in the Hollywood Hills, eventually leaving at 2:30 a.m. The photos didn't go unnoticed by Pitt's camp, the Daily Mail said. But a source said that Pitt has 'washed his hands of Pax's drama.' The actor 'has zero concern with what Pax does or doesn't do. [Pax's] actions reflect who he is.' Pitt's estrangement from Maddox, and possibly some of his other children, reportedly goes back to September 2016, when the actor allegedly drank too much and became angry and physical with Jolie, Maddox and the other children during a private plane flight from France to Los Angeles. That altercation prompted Jolie to file for divorce and led to Pitt being investigated by the FBI and Child Protective Services. Pitt denied ever being abusive to his children, and no criminal charges were ever filed. It also was reported last summer that Pitt also has 'virtually no contact' with his oldest daughter, Zahara, 20. Like Maddox and Pax, Zahara also initially adopted by Jolie, in her case from Ethiopia when she was seven months old. She's now a student at Spelman College, a historically Black women's liberal arts college in Atlanta, Georgia. Jolie and Pitt also have three biological children,19-year-old daughter Shiloh and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. Last summer, Shiloh hired an attorney to file a legal petition to formally drop Pitt's last name from her own so that she would henceforth be known as Shiloh Jolie, instead of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt. Her decision to drop Pitt's last name reportedly left him 'upset' because he 'never felt more joy than when she was born,' a source told People magazine last year. Another source told In Touch Weekly that Pitt, who once had a close relationship with Shiloh, was 'blindsided' and 'heartbroken' by her decision to drop his last name. When all the children were young, they used the surname Jolie-Pitt. But Maddox reportedly started the trend of not using Pitt's last name. Zahara followed up in 2023 by identifying herself as 'Zahara Marley Jolie' when she pledged to Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority at Spelman College in Atlanta. Vivienne also goes by the surname Jolie, as she revealed when she was credited as 'Vivienne Jolie' in the May 2024 Playbill for 'The Outsiders,' a Broadway show that she helped her mother produce and which is based on the classic S.E. Hinton teen novel. ___ © #YR@ MediaNews Group, Inc. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Brad Pitt reportedly cuts ties with sons Pax and Maddox amid ongoing family feud
Brad Pitt is reportedly stopped trying to fix his relationship with his two eldest sons, Maddox (23) and Pax (21), as his bitter divorce from his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, continues to take its toll. A source close to the 61-year-old actor has revealed that Brad feels his relationship with his adopted sons is broken beyond repair. Last month Pax was spotted in an inebriated state, needing support from friends as he exited an hotel before making his way to a strip club in Hollywood. In response to the incident, an insider revealed that Brad has had enough of Pax's antics. 'He has zero concern with what Pax does or doesn't do,' the source said. 'Brad honestly considers his relationship with Pax unfixable.' The Fight Club star reportedly believes there's nothing more he can do. 'They're old enough to make their own choices and their choices include drama, that's all on them,' the source said. It's believed Brad is convinced Angelina (50) has encouraged the rift between him and Maddox, who was born in Cambodia, and Pax, who hails from Vietnam, but sources close to the actress say she's devastated about how things have unravelled. The tension between Brad and Maddox dates back to a September 2016 incident on a private plane, where Maddox was reportedly involved in a physical confrontation with his father. It was this altercation that seemed to lead led to Angie filing for divorce. In 2019, when asked about their relationship, Maddox, who studied biochemistry at Korea's Yonsei University and served as a production assistant on his mother's 2024 movie, Maria, said, 'whatever happens, happens'. READ MORE| Brad and Angie's dance-loving daughter is forging her own path with support from close friend Keoni Since the plane incident Maddox and Brad have struggled to see eye-to-eye, while Pax has been openly showing his resentment towards their father. In 2020 Pax, who since finishing high school has had various behind-the-scenes roles in the film industry, including set photographer and assistant director, took to Instagram on Father's Day to call Brad a 'world-class ass**'. He accused Brad of causing his four youngest children – Zahara (20), Shiloh (19) and twins Knox and Vivienne (both 16) – to 'tremble in fear' and of showing 'no regard or empathy' towards him and Maddox. 'You have made the lives of those closest to me a constant hell,' Pax said, adding, 'you will never understand the damage you have done because you are incapable of doing so'. PHOTO:It's not only the older boys who have pulled away from their father. Zahara, Vivienne and Shiloh have also distanced themselves by dropping the Pitt surname. Zahara introduced herself as Zahara Marley Jolie at a university sorority event, Vivienne was credited as Vivienne Jolie in a Broadway show and on her 18th birthday Shiloh filed paperwork to legally drop Pitt from her surname. A source close to Angelina says Brad should stop playing the victim and admit that his estrangement from his kids isn't due to their mother but rather how he treated them. 'He should stop blaming others. If he wants to rebuild a relationship with the kids he should acknowledge his own actions and make amends,' the source said.

Brad Pitt spends Father's Day 3,000 miles away from his estranged children
Brad Pitt showed off his new buzz cut as he promoted his new film in New York this weekend with most of his six children in Los Angeles with his ex Angelina Jolie After reportedly claiming their relationship now appears to be unfixable, Brad Pitt spent Father's Day 3,000 miles away from his children. The film legend is said to have cut ties with two of the kids he shares with ex-wife Angelina Jolie following the A Listers' bitter divorce. A series of disputes over custody and business interests followed the end of their marriage as tensions remain high. Brad was in New York this weekend, while the majority of the former golden couple's kids live in Los Angeles. The 61-year-old showed off his buzz cut as he promoted his new F1 film around the world with girlfriend Ines de Ramon not far from his side. 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 to the Mail. He is seemingly ready to cut ties with one more child while holding out hope for the remaining children. Meanwhile, a source claimed that Brad doesn't appear to be planning to reach out to either of his sons, saying he has "nothing to say about either of them." The 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. 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.

When asked about his relationship with his dad, he told In Touch Weekly in 2019: "Whatever happens, happens." But concerns have been raised that the children don't have too much family to turn to, as Angelina is estranged from her brother and has no nieces or nephews.

Brad Pitt reveals bald spot while spending Fathers Day 3,000 miles away from estranged kids
Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt appears to be suffering from a bit of hair loss. While the 61-year-old has been rocking a buzz cut as of late, a bald spot was visible as he signed autographs for fans while out in New York City on Sunday. Pitt, who is reportedly estranged from some of the six children he shares with ex Angelina Jolie, was spending Father's Day in the Big Apple - 2,778.4 miles away from Los Angeles, where the majority of their kids live. The actor - who reportedly believes his relationship with two of his children is 'unfixable - has been going full-steam ahead promoting his new F1 film around the world as of late, and his press tour has now taken him to the Big Apple. But he's been able to also spend quality time with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon, whom he was seen catching up with over a date night on Saturday. Pitt and Jolie, 50, who share Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, married in 2014 after falling for each other on the set of Mrs. & Mrs. Smith. Jolie filed for divorce in 2016—just days after a now-infamous private plane incident in which she accused Pitt of being physically abusive toward her and the kids. While the acrimonious divorce was finalized in December, the fallout from the split has remained, and Pitt is now reportedly estranged from many of their children. The split has also meant that Jolie must continue living in Los Angeles until her children turn 18, she recently revealed to The Hollywood Reporter. 'I am here because I have to be here from a divorce, but as soon as they're 18, I'll be able to leave,' she said. 'When you have a big family, you want them to have privacy, peace, safety. I have a house now to raise my children, but sometimes this place can be … that humanity that I found across the world is not what I grew up with here. [After Los Angeles,] I'll spend a lot of time in Cambodia. I'll spend time visiting my family members wherever they may be in the world.' Last year, People reported the star has 'virtually no contact' with his adult children. However, the source said he does have 'visitation with the younger kids'. The source noted his 'engagement' with his younger children at the time had been 'more limited' as a result of his filming schedule for F1. Pax took his mother's side in the fallout, and an Instagram post for Father's Day in 2020, he called his dad a 'world class a***hole' and an 'awful human being'. Shiloh legally changed her last name last year on the day she turned 18, dropping Pitt and officially opting to be known as Shiloh Nouvel Jolie. 'He knew this was coming and there is nothing he can do about it right now,' a source revealed to last year when Shiloh's name change emerged. 'It's sad but Brad's strained relationship with his kids and Angelina is just a way of life for him now. The insider added that Brad will always leave the door open for his estranged children should they be willing to reconnect in the future. The source continued: 'He respects Shiloh's decision. He loves her and no matter what happens, he is always only a phone call away. 'He will be there for Shiloh and any of his kids whenever they need, no questions asked. But it's up to them to make the next move.' Pitt and Jolie, 50, who share Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, married in 2014 after falling for each other on the set of Mrs. & Mrs. Smith; pictured with Pax, Maddox, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox in 2014 Zahara, who is studying at Spelman College in Georgia, and her sister Vivienne both appear to have also dropped their father's famous last name. On Monday night, amid the turmoil, Pitt opened up about how important family is to him - amid his ongoing and escalating estrangement from his children. Speaking at the F1 premiere in Mexico City - he told ET: 'No matter the mistake, you just learn from [it] and move on. It'll lead to the next success.' The Oscar winner continued, 'When you get to my age, you realize how important it is to surround yourself with the people you love, the people that love you back.' 'Friends, family, and that's it,' he added. 'From there, we get to go make things. It's a pretty simple, I think, equation.' Pitt also recently broke his silence on his and Jolie's divorce for GQ's June 2025 issue amid promoting his new movie F1. 'No, I don't think it was that major of a thing,' the star told the publication. 'Just something coming to fruition. Legally.' The Fight Club star then reflected on how his love life has been in the spotlight for decades. 'It's been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way.' Brad was also questioned if his red carpet debut with the jewelry designer last year at the 2024 British Grand Prix was a publicity stunt. 'No, dude, it's not that calculated,' Pitt replied. 'If you're living, oh my God, how exhausting would that be? If you're living with making those kinds of calculations? No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve.' The actor also reflected on fame by explaining, 'It's been an annoyance I've had to always deal with in different degrees, large and small, as I do the things I really want to do. 'So, it's always been this kind of nagging time suck or waste of time, if you let it be that, I don't know. I don't know. Mostly I feel pretty…. My life is fairly contained.' He continued, 'It feels pretty warm and secure with my friends, with my loves, with my fam, with my knowledge of who I am, that, you know, it's like this fly buzzing around a little bit.'
