November 26, 2024: Brad Pitt is allegedly willing to end his lengthy legal battle with Angelina Jolie in exchange for the chance to reconnect with their children. According to a report by Radar Online, the actor is “on his knees, begging” Jolie to let him spend time with their six kids, from whom he is reportedly estranged.
Brad’s Plea for Reconciliation
Since their highly publicized divorce in 2017, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been embroiled in an ongoing legal dispute over the sale of their $500-million French winery, Château Miraval. However, the legal fight has reportedly taken a toll on Pitt’s relationship with his children—Maddox (23), Pax (20), Zahara (19), Shiloh (18), and twins Vivienne and Knox (16).
An insider quoted by the outlet said, “Brad has not given up on his kids, but it’s been incredibly tough for him to be so alienated. The longer this estrangement goes on, the more painful it becomes. With the holidays approaching, it’s hitting him even harder, and he’s now saying he’s willing to swallow his pride and ask Angelina to show some mercy.”
The source added that Brad “just wants a chance to spend a little time with them,” describing his heartbreak over the estrangement. Reportedly, most of the children have distanced themselves so significantly that they have even dropped the “Pitt” surname. For instance, Shiloh has filed a petition to legally go by Shiloh Nouvel Jolie, while the others have informally adopted Jolie as their last name.
A History of Estrangement
The former couple’s tumultuous relationship began in 2005, leading to marriage in 2014. Angelina had adopted Maddox, Pax, and Zahara prior to her relationship with Brad, but he formally adopted the three older children during their marriage. Together, they also share three biological children: Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox.
The family dynamic unraveled in 2016 following an alleged incident aboard a private plane, which reportedly caused irreparable damage to Brad’s relationship with the kids. While his divorce from Jolie was finalized in 2017, the emotional and legal battles have lingered. Reports claim Brad has not seen most of his children in years, with visitation rights restricted primarily to the youngest two.
Hopes for Healing Amid Legal Battles
As the holiday season approaches, the insider claims Brad is determined to mend these fractured relationships. “It kills him that he’s estranged and will do whatever is necessary to break down those barriers,” they said. Whether Jolie will grant his request remains to be seen.
