Brad Pitt's biological mother died, the ex-bride and grandchildren didn't bother to think about it?

On August 6, Sydney Pitt - the granddaughter of actor Brad Pitt - made the online community emotional when she announced that her grandmother, Jane Etta Pitt, had just passed away.

The information was shared on her personal page with a confidant full of affection.

"Our dear grandmother, Jane Etta, we are not ready to say goodbye. But the thought that she is now free to sing, dance and paint again makes my heart a little lighter," Sydney wrote.

In the long post, Sydney choked up and shared that Mrs. Jane is a woman with a big heart, who always loves people unconditionally. "If you've ever met her, you'll know that she's a person with a big heart. She deeply cares about everyone, everything, without reason, without questioning," she emphasized.

In a grateful tone, Sydney reminisces about the time she grew up in her grandmother's loving arms. "She can keep up with all 14 grandchildren without any fatigue. Her love for us is unconditional, anyone who has met her can feel it," she said. "We are so lucky to have grown up in her arms and I know she lives forever in the hearts of each of us."

Jane Pitt leaves behind her husband, William Alvin Pitt, three children - including Brad Pitt - and 14 grandchildren. Six grandchildren are the children of Brad Pitt and actress Angelina Jolie : Maddox, Pax Thien, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne.

However, after the news of Jane's passing was shared, Angelina Jolie and her children did not have any public response. This makes the public wonder, especially in the context that the relationship between the two sides of the family has not been close since Brad and Angelina divorced.

During her lifetime, Ms. Jane Pitt used to be a teacher, school counselor and an active participant in charity work. Together with her husband, William Alvin Pitt, who owns a transportation company, she raises three children, Brad Pitt, Doug Pitt and Julie Neal, in Springfield, Missouri. Both grandparents have a simple life, rarely appearing in front of the media.

Despite keeping a private lifestyle, Jane and her husband have been on important occasions with their famous son and grandchildren. They attended the Oscars in 2012 or the premiere of Angelina Jolie's film Unbroken in 2014. The moments when the whole family appeared together at that time attracted the attention of the global media.

A major milestone in Jane's life was her children's donation of $1 million in 2009 to build the Jane Pitt Children's Cancer Center in Missouri, which is named after her. It is the first center in the region to have a team of doctors specializing in pediatric oncology and haematology. In a video made by WorldServe International in 2018, she emotionally shared:

"I am very proud of all my children. They see people's urgent needs and try to meet them. That's amazing."

In June, Brad Pitt also publicly greeted his mother in an interview with Today while participating in the promotion of the new F1 movie.
"I have to say hello to my mom because she always watches this show every morning. I love you, Jane Pitt," he said, while sending a kiss through the camera - a small but affectionate act that has now become one of Brad's last goodbyes to his mother.

However, the relationship between Brad Pitt's parents and grandchildren has gradually faded since the actor broke up with Angelina Jolie. A source in the Daily Mail once revealed that Mr. and Mrs. William - Jane Pitt feel heartbroken because they are no longer as close to their grandchildren as before. The legal battle between Brad and Angelina lasted for many years, causing the two sides of the family to almost cut off contact.

In the past, Mr. and Mrs. Pitt often appeared in happy photos with their children and grandchildren. They are said to be grandparents who love their grandchildren with all their heart and always try to maintain a positive presence in their lives before the family breaks down.
