Brad Pitt Hopes to Reconnect with Six Children Now Adults

Brad Pitt is reportedly focused on rebuilding his relationship with his six adult children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne. Sources indicate that Pitt sees Angelina Jolie's reported intention to live abroad as a chance to reconnect, as none of the children are expected to relocate with their mother.

Despite discovering that his children have changed their contact information, Pitt remains determined to try and re-establish contact. He allegedly plans to seek advice from mutual friends who have maintained good terms with both him and Jolie to navigate potential conflicts.

The estrangement has been evident, with several children publicly dropping the 'Pitt' surname. Shiloh filed to change her name after turning 18 in May 2024, and Vivienne recently used 'Jolie' for a Broadway production.

Pitt has publicly expressed affection for his children, including dedicating part of his 2020 Oscars acceptance speech to them. The finalized divorce in 2024 followed an eight-year legal battle that began after a 2016 incident on a private jet, which Jolie cited as grounds for divorce, alleging abuse.
