Brad Pitt, the renowned Hollywood actor and father of six, is currently facing a silent battle as he endeavors to mend the strained bond with his children from his previous marriage to Angelina Jolie. This tumultuous journey began in 2016 when an explosive altercation involving Jolie and her then-boyfriend was leaked to the court by an anonymous source, leading to a full-blown lawsuit for Pitt and eventually finalizing the celebrity couple’s divorce in 2019.
Pitt, the father of Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and the twins Knox and Vivienne, found himself at odds with his children following the highly publicized legal proceedings. The aftermath of their tumultuous separation saw Pitt being snubbed by his children on multiple occasions. Most recently, his son Paxton’s critical comments on Instagram left Pitt reportedly “depressed,” according to a report by The Standard.
Adding to the complexity of the situation, Angelina’s daughter Zahara Marley Jolie omitted her father’s name when joining the sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha last month. The seemingly estranged children further underscored their distance by opting out of attending their father’s 60th birthday celebration, an event he shared with Ines de Ramon.
Despite these challenges, Pitt remains committed to repairing the strained relationships with his children. A source close to the Meet Joe Black actor revealed that he is not only dedicated to the cause but is also excited about the prospect of a better future with his kids.
In a recent development, Pitt has taken a strategic step to break the ice with his children. According to The Things, he has enlisted the crisis team of Johnny Depp, including PR expert Matthew Hiltzick, to guide him through this delicate process. Pitt is hopeful that Hiltzick’s expertise will help him regain his public image and portray him as a devoted father.
As Brad Pitt navigates the challenging path of reconnection with Angelina Jolie’s children, the world watches with anticipation. The actor’s silent struggle reflects a commitment to family and a hopeful outlook for a brighter, more harmonious future. Only time will tell whether this dedicated effort will succeed in bridging the gaps and restoring the bonds that have faced strains in the public eye.
