Brad Pitt ‘Desperate’ To Reunite With His Twins Amid Angelina Jolie Legal Battle

Brad Pitt is reportedly looking to reconnect with his children after being estranged from many of them since his split from their mother, Angelina Jolie.

Insiders say the actor hopes he can “make amends” with his youngest children, twins Knox and Vivienne, and has allegedly reached out to them ahead of their 17th birthday this weekend.

Meanwhile, Brad Pitt is said to have “accepted” that he and Angelina Jolie will always “be at odds,” amid their continuous clash over their French winery Château Miraval.

Pitt is not giving up yet on being present and active in the lives of his children, despite being estranged from them for years now.

The “Fight Club” star announced his split from ex-wife Jolie in 2016 following a private jet incident that allegedly saw Pitt hit the address and some of the kids.

What followed was a years-long divorce and custody battle in which the kids seemingly sided with their mom and kept their distance from the actor. Some even went as far as dropping his last name, and his son Pax called him a “world-class a-shole” on Father’s Day in 2020.

Despite this, Pitt is looking to “make amends,” especially with his youngest children, Knox and Vivienne, and is “desperate” to reunite with them ahead of their 17th birthday. The actor is “praying” they’ll be willing to give him a chance, but has not heard any word back.

A source told the Daily Mail that Pitt is desperately looking to make amends with Knox and Vivienne and has tried several times to reunite with the teenagers.

“Brad’s desperate to give it one final shot to get together with them and make amends, even though he knows the chance they’ll agree to spend time with him is remote, to say the least,” the source said.

“So far there’s been no word back from the twins or their reps,” the insider continued, explaining that when “Vivienne dropped Pitt from her name, he got the message loud and clear,” and was “totally devastated” by the move.

However, a “glimmer of hope” emerged for Pitt because Vivienne’s brother, Knox, “has kept Jolie-Pitt as his surname.”

Pitt and the “Maleficent” star began dating in 2004 and tied the knot a decade later in 2014. Unfortunately, the marriage only lasted 2 years.

Throughout their 12-year romance, they expanded their family and now share six children together: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox.

Amid their legal battles, another insider told the Daily Mail that Pitt has “accepted” he’ll continue to be “at odds” with Jolie, but is not closing the chapter on his relationship with their children just yet.

“Brad is a family man,” the source said, noting that the love he once had for Jolie and all their kids is something that’s still “very important to his life.”

“Now that he and Angie are at odds, and have for years, he has accepted that [that] is the way it is going to be with her. But when it comes to their children, he will always want to be an anchor in their lives,” the insider explained.

“There is a bond that parents have with their kids, and Brad would be very happy to have them all back in the fold of his life,” they shared.

The source went further to explain that the “F1” star is not ready to “give up” yet on his children and has done all he can to get back in their good graces.

Last year, when Pax was involved in a bike accident, Pitt was “distraught” and “worried,” and reportedly tried to reach out, but the kids “won’t take his calls.”

“He will always believe and always hope there is a chance to be back with all of them, and he doesn’t want to think otherwise,” the insider shared, per the Daily Mail. “He doesn’t want to give up, he’s not that kind of guy, he’s not that kind of father. He is a proud father, and he would be happy to have them see that eventually.”

The insider added that the children now “have to make the move because he has tried over and over again to get back in their good graces.”
