EBN- On his 61st birthday, American star Brad Pitt wishes to spend quality time with his children. It is a very simple wish, but achieving it has become very difficult due to the family disputes that have developed significantly in recent years.
Family disputes that started after the divorce
The family crisis began after the divorce between the famous Hollywood duo Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in 2016, as their relationship entered a period of tensions that affected their relationship with their six children, especially in recent years, these differences became clear after their daughter Shiloh took legal action to change her name, in which she removed the name “Pitt” and became “Shiloh Jolie”, in reference to her mother only. This is a decision that Shiloh described as a result of the painful experiences she lived with her father.
Similar decisions from siblings
Shiloh was not the only one to make this decision, her sisters Zahra and Vivian followed suit, but without the need for a lawsuit because they were not yet of legal age. According to these decisions, the title “Beth” was removed from the names of the children in official occasions, reflecting the great escalation of disputes in the family.
Accusations and legal crises affect the relationship
The family feud began when Angelina Jolie accused Brad Pitt of being violent towards her and their children during a family trip. Although Brad was acquitted of all charges, the incident had major repercussions on his relationship with his eldest son Maddox. The custody battle between the parents deepened the differences, making the children more inclined to stay with their mother.
Relationship with children before divorce: love for family and stability
Before the divorce, Brad Pitt was known for his great love for his family and his stability in the family. He is the father of three biological children with Angelina Jolie, in addition to three others who were adopted: Maddox, Pax, and Zahara. He was keen to spend most of his time with them at home, where he would participate in various activities such as cooking and cycling, which reflects his great love for his family.
Angelina’s influence on the relationship with children
Brad Pitt believes that Angelina Jolie was the main reason for the tension in his relationship with his children, as he saw her deliberately abusing him in their presence. However, sources close to Angelina confirm that she did not interfere in her children’s decisions or in their estrangement from their father. However, reports emerged indicating that Shiloh tried to reach out to her father after changing her name, in an attempt to open a reconciliation between them, but these attempts did not yield tangible steps, according to People magazine.
