Although the divorce between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt was solved in 2024, the family consequences remain present. The actress filed for divorce in 2016, after an alleged episode of aggressive behavior by Pitt during a family flight.
The FBI opened an investigation, but no legal action was taken. Since then, the custody battle and emotional wounds have left a mark on the family. After that incident, Angelina left the shared residence with her children.
Brad Pitt seeks stability and to rebuild his life after the separation
Despite the complicated family situation, Brad Pitt has tried to find stability in his personal life. After the marital breakup, he has focused on his well-being and personal growth. He is currently in a relationship with Inés de Ramón, who is 32 years old, and is trying to leave the conflicts of the past behind.
The actor has also publicly acknowledged his mistakes and the importance of overcoming the issues that marked the breakup with Angelina Jolie. In recent interviews, he has shown his willingness to heal and move forward, although the wounds in the family are still present. His greatest wish is to repair the bond with his children, a challenge he still faces every day.
The family rift after the separation
The former couple have six children: Maddox (23), Pax (21), Zahara (19), Shiloh (18), and twins Knox and Vivienne (16). In recent years, several of them have shown public signs of a break with Brad Pitt. These gestures clearly show a distancing from their father.
Maddox and Pax, both adopted children, have been especially critical of Pitt in private. Although the actor keeps the right to spend time with the twins, sources close to the family indicate that he barely has contact with his older children. The relationship with them seems broken, at least for now.
Pitt admits mistakes, but seeks redemption
According to a source close to the actor, Brad Pitt admits that he made mistakes during the relationship. He also expressed that his greatest regret is not having been able to repair the bond with his children. "He doesn't directly blame Jolie, but he feels the little ones were turned against him," the source says.
In May of this year, Pitt spoke briefly about his divorce in an interview with GQ. During the interview, the actor said about his divorce: "No, I don't think it was a big deal, just something that gets finalized. Legally."
Jolie's pain over the distance between her children and Pitt
Angelina Jolie has been fully dedicated to protecting and supporting her children throughout this difficult process. She has been present in every important decision they've made, both personally and professionally. Her support has been essential, especially for those children who have decided to distance themselves from the Pitt surname.
Although she hasn't made recent statements about Brad Pitt, Jolie has kept a firm stance since the beginning of the conflict. Her top priority has always been to care for her children's emotional well-being and privacy, avoiding exposing them to the media spotlight. Meanwhile, she continues her work as a producer and activist, while facing this tough family situation.
The pain she feels as a mother over the distance between her children and Brad is palpable. This estrangement not only affects the family's private life, but also makes any possibility of future reconciliation more difficult. For now, the wound remains open, and Angelina bears the emotional consequences of a story that hasn't ended yet.
