Brad Pitt has ‘no contact’ with his kids amid family drama

Hollywood star Brad Pitt has reportedly lost touch with all of his children amid the drama between himself and Angelina Jolie.

Angelina Jolie 'very happy and content' with life

Brad Pitt has “virtually no contact” with his adult children, a source close to the family told People.

The insider also revealed that the actor has had “limited” visits with his younger kids due to his busy schedule — the actor is currently overseas filming his upcoming racing movie, “F1.”

“He has virtually no contact with the adult kids. His engagement with the younger kids is more limited in recent months because of his filming schedule,” the source said.

“[Angelina] has the kids most of the time, but per their agreement, he has visitation with the younger kids.”

Representatives for Pitt did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Pitt, 60, was seen earlier this week on a rare outing with girlfriend Ines de Ramon at the British Grand Prix.

He shares six children with Jolie, 49: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15.

As Page Six previously reported, the former couple is still embroiled in a legal battle as they continue to finalise their divorce. Sources shared with us that while Pitt has made positive headway in the courtroom, Jolie is winning the favour with their kids.

“It’s extremely upsetting,” an insider close to Pitt said.

“There is a whole pattern: Any time he has a win in court, she hits back with something to do with the kids.”

In 2021, Pitt won a 50-50 custody agreement that was sealed for privacy reasons but the ruling was overturned later that year.

Weeks prior to the report, the family’s ex-security guard Tony Webb claimed in court documents that Jolie encouraged their children to “avoid” Pitt during their visits with him.

It was reported in June that several of Jolie’s kids changed their names to legally drop Pitt from their last names including Shiloh, who hired her own lawyer and filed to legally change her name from “Shiloh Jolie-Pitt” to “Shiloh Jolie.”

At the time, Pitt, 60, was said to be “aware and upset” about his daughter’s big decision that she made on her 18th birthday.
