Brad Pitt's Holiday Heartache and Family Dynamics

Divorce and the Impact on Their Relationship

Pitt and his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, divorced in 2019. They share six children: Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. Page Six previously reported that Pitt was "feeling hurt" when Shiloh officially dropped her father's surname after making the legal request on her 18th birthday in May. The source said that they used to have a good relationship, but that's in the past and it breaks Brad's heart. He feels like Angelina has turned his kids against him.Just last month, an insider told us that Pitt felt that Jolie purposely walked the red carpet with their son Knox at the 2024 Governors Awards "to push his buttons." The source added that Brad finds it a bit coincidental that a judge signed off on the [Château] Miraval trial just days before Knox joined Angelina at the Governors Awards.

The New Chapter with His Girlfriend

Pitt began dating Ines de Ramon in 2022. She is supportive and Brad is looking forward to ringing in the new year with her. The insider noted that he is thankful to have an amazing partner in his 31-year-old girlfriend. Despite the challenges with his ex-wife and children, Brad seems to have found some solace in his new relationship.A rep for Pitt did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment. It remains to be seen how these family dynamics will unfold in the coming years.
