The 60-year-old actor shares six children with Jolie—Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox. Over time, his bond with several of them has reportedly weakened. Some of the children have even distanced themselves from Pitt, with instances of name changes highlighting the growing divide. Shiloh, for example, has formally petitioned to be known as Shiloh Nouvel Jolie, while others have reportedly made informal decisions to drop the Pitt surname. According to RadarOnline.com, Pitt is desperate and ready to beg his ex to let him see the children.
According to reports, Brad Pitt remains determined to reconnect with his children despite these challenges. The actor is struggling with feelings of alienation, particularly as the holidays approach, which intensifies his longing to rebuild ties with his family. Currently, only the youngest children, Vivienne and Knox, maintain contact with Pitt through scheduled visitation, leaving him largely estranged from the rest.
Adding to the tension is the ongoing legal dispute over Chateau Miraval, a French winery the former couple once co-owned. Jolie sold her 50 per cent stake in the property to Russian businessman Yuri Shefler, a move Pitt has contested in court. Reports suggest that Pitt is willing to negotiate and even drop the lawsuit if it means gaining more access to his children.
Pitt hopes to create an opportunity to spend quality time with his family, including during the upcoming Thanksgiving celebrations. He reportedly plans to host his extended family
