Reports suggest Brad Pitt is ready to make a heartfelt appeal to his ex-wife Angelina Jolie, urging her to let him see their children. The former couple have been embroiled in legal battles since their separation in 2016, over custody of their six children: Maddox, 23; People, 20; Zahara, 19 years old; Shiloh, 18 years old; and twins Vivienne and Knox, aged 16, which remains a controversial issue.
According to an insider cited by Online speed camerasPitt “feels even more heartbreak” as the holidays approach and is willing to “swallow his pride” to beg Jolie for mercy. The actor, separated from most of his children, currently only has visitation rights to the youngest twins.
Legal disputes between Pitt and Jolie, including the sale of their $500 million French estate Château Miraval, have heightened tensions. Sources say Pitt is tired of court battles and ready to compromise. “He is appealing to Angie to end the bitterness, not only to bring peace but also to stop the senseless spending on legal fees,” a source revealed.
The emotional toll of this separation is evident, with Pitt reportedly planning a Thanksgiving gathering with his extended family, highlighting the absence of his children. “It’s killing him to be apart,” the source said, adding that Pitt is willing to “do whatever is absolutely necessary to break down these barriers.”
Pitt and Jolie’s high-profile romance began in 2005, while filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith and culminated with a 2014 wedding at their French estate. However, their relationship collapsed just two years later, with Jolie filing for divorce in 2016. Despite public interest, both stars have largely kept the details of their separation private.
The ongoing custody issues reflect the deep strain on Pitt’s relationship with his children, with several of them apparently dropping his last name and distancing themselves from him. Still, Pitt remains hopeful for a reconciliation, making clear he wants to rebuild those ties, even if it means letting go of past legal disputes.
