Oscar-winning actor Brad Pitt has reportedly cut off contact with two of his children as tensions continue to mount in the aftermath of his protracted and highly publicized divorce from Angelina Jolie, according to a report by the Daily Express.
Sources close to the situation claim the strained relationships stem from the emotional and legal fallout of the couple’s split, which began in 2016 when Jolie filed for divorce. The reported estrangement most notably includes their son Pax, who has previously made public remarks critical of Pitt, and another of the couple’s older children. According to the source, Pitt now views these particular relationships as “unfixable.”
While the younger twins are said to still have occasional visitation, the divide with the older children appears far more severe, with little indication of reconciliation in the near future.
Though representatives for Pitt have declined to comment, insiders suggest the actor remains emotionally affected by the rift. Despite the current distance, he reportedly still holds out hope for eventual healing. However, sources say his adult children have continued to rebuff attempts at contact.
The long-running legal battle and lingering emotional wounds appear to have deepened the family fracture—an unfortunate and ongoing chapter in one of Hollywood’s most closely watched breakups.
