Angelina Jolie is with her children, Brad Pitt is pitifully "estranged"

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie share three adopted children, three biological children. However, for a long time, Brad Pitt has hardly been in contact with his older children, only allowed to visit the children because Angelina Jolie is always with them

According to a source revealed to People, just a month after the 60-year-old actor's 18-year-old daughter Shiloh applied to remove her father's surname, Brad Pitt's relationship with the older children is still very strained. "He has almost no contact with the older children. The actor's interaction with younger children has been more limited in recent months because of his filming schedule," the insider shared.

The source also shared that the couple's c.hild custody agreement allows visitation rights for two young children. "Angelina Jolie is the one who takes care of the kids most of the time, but under their agreement, he has the right to visit the younger kids." Currently, the actor is in Europe to shoot the new F1 racing movie, while Angelina Jolie lives in Los Angeles with her young children.

Brad shares six children with Angelina Jolie, including: 22-year-old Maddox, 20-year-old Pax Thien, 19-year-old Zahara, 18-year-old Shiloh and 15-year-old twins Knox - Vivenne. The source said that under the custody agreement, Brad is entitled to visit the non-member children while Angelina Jolie is the primary caregiver.

Four of the six children are adults, no longer bound by their parents' parenting agreements. In particular, Shiloh just turned 18 years old in May. On the occasion of her last birthday, Shiloh attracted attention because she applied to the court to give up her father's surname, only her mother's surname. According to People, the actor's removal from his daughter's life is another sign that he has lost his children.

Previously, People reported that Brad's youngest daughter Vivienne wrote her name as "Vivienne Jolie" in the advertisement for the musical she recently supported her mother. It is unclear if Vivienne has changed her name legally.

Zahara also previously introduced herself as "Zahara Marley Jolie" when she joined the sorority at Spelman College late last year. The two eldest sons, Maddox and Pax, reportedly did not use their father's last name in public for years and both were openly hostile to him.

A person close to Brad Pitt revealed that the actor knew about his biological daughter's departure from the Pitt family and felt very heartbroken. "It reminds me that I have lost my c.hild. Of course, it wasn't easy for Brad. He loves his children and misses them. Brad is still happy with Ines (his girlfriend), but his distant relationship with his children makes him miserable," the source said.

Last month, Us Weekly quoted a source as saying the reason for the children's alienation from Brad Pitt: "They have struggled to forgive and connect with Brad since their parents divorced. Angelina is the head of the family and has raised her children with love and altruism. Once Brad left and then got into a fight with her, it was very difficult for the kids to accept this."

On Angelina Jolie's side, on July 9, Angelina Jolie drove her Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2024 car down the street. She accompanied her daughter Vivienne on this trip. It's been a long time since fans saw Angelina driving a car. Watching the scene of her stepping down from the Mercedes for billions of dong, everyone had to admire.

After a busy time promoting the musical in which she plays the role of producer, Angelina Jolie takes advantage of the break and spends time with her children. A source said: "Jolie only participates in projects that she is really interested in and passionate about. She is also extremely proud of her 6 children." This source said that with the recent activities and successes that Angelina Jolie has, she has experienced the first half of 2024 with many good things.
