Brad Pitt 'begs' his and Angelina Jolie’s children to join him for 61st birthday amid legal drama

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Brad Pitt, approaching his 61st birthday on December 18, has reportedly made a heartfelt request to his ex-wife Angelina Jolie, asking for two of their children to join him to celebrate the occasion.

However, sources close to the family reveal that Jolie remains firm in her decision, leaving the actor disappointed amid years of strained relationships within the family.

Brad Pitt begs for twins’ company on 61st birthday

Brad Pitt, who shares six children with Angelina Jolie — Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 is reportedly "begging" with two of his six children to join him and his 31-year-old live-in girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, for the day, according to Daily Mail.

"Brad loves his kids and it would mean the world to him to have them spend his special day with him," a source shared. "But it is not looking so great so far. Some of the kids still talk to him, some do not. It is very tricky."

Inside Brad Pitt’s strained relationship with his children

Reports suggest Maddox and Pax do not communicate with their father, while Shiloh has distanced herself further by dropping his surname. Zahara reportedly avoids using the Pitt name publicly.

Knox and Vivienne are believed to maintain some contact, but the family has not been publicly seen together in years.

Pitt is said to be deeply affected by these strained relationships, hoping his milestone birthday might offer an opportunity for reconciliation. "He’s longing to bring his children together, even just for one day," an insider shared.

Legal battles and lingering tensions

The family discord is rooted in years of legal wrangling, including custody disputes and contentious arguments over the ownership of Chateau Miraval, the family’s estate in France.

These disputes have only deepened the rift, with sources suggesting that the legal and emotional toll continues to weigh heavily on both Pitt and his children.

Reports suggest that Pitt feels profoundly saddened by the strained relationships with some of his children. He holds onto the hope that, at the very least on his birthday, they might come together to share some quality time.

Unfortunately, the situation appears challenging, as not all of his children seem ready to reconnect with him at this point.

Brad Pitt’s relationship with Ines de Ramon

As Brad Pitt faces difficulties reconnecting with his children, he has found stability in his relationship with jewelry executive Ines de Ramon.

The couple, who reportedly live together in Los Angeles, may plan a trip if Pitt’s birthday wish to reunite with his children is not fulfilled.

Angelina Jolie’s new chapter

Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie has been receiving Oscar buzz for her role as opera singer Maria Callas in 'Maria'. The actress has described the vulnerability she felt while preparing for the role and how her children supported her through the process.

Jolie has also been the subject of dating rumors involving British rapper Akala, marking a new phase in her personal life.

Despite their continued tensions, both Pitt and Jolie appear to be focusing on separate paths, though the emotional and legal complexities of their past remain ever-present.
