Brad Pitt has reached out to his former spouse, Angelina Jolie, during their ongoing personal and legal struggles.
Sources indicate that Pitt is earnestly asking two of his six kids to join him in celebrating his 61st birthday on December 18 with his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon.
The 60-year-old actor and Jolie share three biological children: Shiloh (18), twins Knox and Vivienne (16), along with three adopted kids: Maddox (23), Pax (21), and Zahara (19).
Strain in Pitt’s Relationship with His Kids
Recently, Pitt‘s connection with his children has been troubled. Both Maddox and Pax reportedly have no communication with him. Furthermore, Shiloh has notably dropped her father’s surname, and Zahara appears to avoid using it as well. In contrast, twins Knox and Vivienne may still talk to him, but they have not been seen in public with Pitt for some time.
This turmoil within the family has stemmed from years of challenging legal disputes following the couple’s separation in 2016.
The ongoing custody fight over the children has been a significant source of tension, exacerbated by disagreements over the ownership of Chateau Miraval in France.
Reports suggest that Pitt feels a deep sorrow about his strained relationships with some of his children and hopes to gather them for his birthday to reconnect.
However, the situation is complex, as not all the children are receptive to meeting him at this moment.
A Total Estrangement Between Pitt and Jolie
This heartfelt appeal from Pitt highlights the fractured state of his relationship with Jolie. Despite their geographical closeness in Los Angeles, the emotional distance is significant.
Pitt wishes to mend his relationship with his children and hopes for a healing process to overcome the adversities of past conflicts.
However, it’s still unclear how Jolie will respond and whether the children are open to the idea of reconciling with him. This deeply personal issue reflects the broader public conflicts that continue to unfold.
