Brad Pitt On Angelina Jolie’s Alleged Tactics For Custody Battle
Over the past year, reports of Pitt’s heartbreak have surfaced repeatedly, highlighting his children’s apparent preference for their mother.
Brad Pitt, a name often in headlines for his illustrious roles, currently finds his personal life equally under the microscope, particularly his strained relationship with his children. The ongoing turbulence between him and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie has, once again, come to light, especially as the holiday season and his 61st birthday approach. Despite reportedly moving ahead romantically with his new partner, Ines de Ramon, the Oscar-winning actor is facing struggles to bridge the emotional gap with his children.
Sources close to the actor reveal that he feels his efforts to reconnect are being thwarted, pointing fingers at Jolie for allegedly attempting to alienate their six kids from him.

A recent appearance by Jolie and their son Knox on the red carpet of the 2024 Governors Awards reportedly hit Pitt hard. An insider shared with InTouch Weekly that it was “very hard" for Pitt “to see photos" of Knox at the event since his own time with the 16-year-old has been so limited. While Pitt takes pride in his son stepping into the spotlight, he believes this move was yet another “calculated" attempt by Jolie to “mess with him."
Over the past year, reports of Pitt’s heartbreak have surfaced repeatedly, highlighting his children’s apparent preference for their mother. Some have even taken significant steps to distance themselves from Pitt’s surname. For instance, Vivienne, who worked alongside Jolie on the musical The Outsiders, dropped “Pitt" from her credit in the playbill, opting to go by Vivienne Jolie. Zahara followed suit by introducing herself as Zahara Marley Jolie in a video shared by Essence and Shiloh legally removed “Pitt" from her name earlier this year.
For Pitt, the holiday season has become a difficult time, as he continues to face barriers in maintaining close connections with his children. A source explained to InTouch that Jolie often takes actions during this time of year that feel “aimed at hurting him." Whether it’s organising trips that make visitation difficult or filing court motions that disrupt their arrangements, the challenges persist.
Although the situation is upsetting, Pitt has reportedly decided to focus on what he can control. While he longs to see his kids, he is determined to fulfil his role as a father within the bounds of his court-mandated visitation rights. “He can’t control what Angelina does, but he’s doing his best to be the best dad he can be," the insider shared.
The separation of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has been making headlines since their 2016 split. Although they were declared legally single in 2019, their divorce remains unresolved due to ongoing disputes, including the fight over their shared $164 million (Rs 1388 crore) French estate, Chateau Miraval. The former couple shares six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne.
