Hollywood star Brad Pitt is reportedly seeking support from Angelina Jolie’s father, Jon Voight, in an emotional effort to rebuild his fractured relationship with his children. Following years of strained ties since his high-profile split from Jolie in 2016, Pitt appears ready to mend fences—and he’s turning to family to help make it happen.
Brad Pitt Reportedly Asks Jon Voight to Help Rebuild Family Ties
According to sources cited by RadarOnline.com, the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor has reached out to Voight, requesting his help to act as a peacemaker between him and his six children. The insider claimed,
“Brad’s asking other family members and LA friends to help, too, but he’s starting with Jon and hoping he has the impact.”
The actor, now 60, has reportedly had minimal contact with his children—Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne—in recent years, as most of them have allegedly chosen to stay close to their mother amid the couple’s contentious custody battle and divorce proceedings.
A Shared Desire to Reconnect
While Brad’s relationship with Jolie has been publicly turbulent, insiders say his communication with Voight has remained open. The two have reportedly joined forces in hopes of repairing the familial bond.
“They’ve put their heads together to figure out how to fix things,” the source noted.
Voight, 85, is also feeling the sting of isolation, reportedly having limited contact with his grandchildren due to political differences with Jolie. An insider shared,
“Poor Jon sees nothing of the extended family now either, and now that he’s edging into his 80s, time’s running out.”
Despite their opposing political views—Voight being a known supporter of Donald Trump, while Pitt has historically leaned liberal—the two men appear united in one goal: healing the family.
Will Angelina Jolie and the Kids Reconsider?
Though Voight is said to be open to speaking with his daughter on Brad’s behalf, the source admits he isn’t overly optimistic.
“Jon is willing to reach out to Angie for Brad, but really isn’t getting his hopes up.”
Ultimately, the insider added,
“At the end of the day, it’s up to the kids if they want to reconcile with their dad and reestablish that trust and warmth again.”
As the years pass and emotions soften, Brad Pitt seems determined to make the effort—no matter how uncertain the outcome. “It’s worth a shot,” the insider concluded.
