You have probably heard about Brad Pitt’s tumultuous relationship with his children. Back in 2016, the 58-year-old actor reportedly got into a heated argument with his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, while on a plane. And apparently, the argument was so intense that his son Maddox felt he needed to step in and defend his mother.
That’s when Maddox (who was 15 at the time) and Pitt reportedly got into a physical fight on the plane. There were reports that Pitt was suffering with alcoholism at the time, and that it contributed to the divorce between he and Jolie.
Ever since then, Pitt’s relationship with Maddox has been in desperate need of repair, but according to a recent report, Pitt’s relationship with his other five kids is strong.
A source talked with US Weekly recently, detailing how Pitt loves to just hang out with his kids and talk.
He thinks the world of all of his children and loves having them over at his place in L.A., where they enjoy long meals together, take walks around the estate and sometimes drive up the coast where they’ll enjoy hikes on the beach,.
This insider also says Pitt is very protective of his children.
Brad is very big on keeping his time with the kids extremely private, he shields them from scrutiny and is extremely protective that way.
Honestly, to me? This sounds like something his team sent out because he was in need of some positive spin.
But who knows, maybe he truly does have a great relationship his kids. We have to imagine it’s a strained relationship, considering how nasty the divorce was, but perhaps they’re healing now that it’s been six years.
In any event, Pitt only wants the best for his children, telling reporters the following…
I want them to follow their bliss, follow their passions, whatever they’re most interested in. It’s about guiding as you can, but they get to try everything on and try what their passion is.
