Brad Pitt 'cuts ties with two of his kids' after bitter divorce from Angelina
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie share a brood of six: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne. He is reportedly cutting ties with two of his children
Brad Pitt is reportedly cut ties with two of the children he shares with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. The 61-year-old Fight Club actor and Angelina, 50, tied the knot it 2014 after a whirlwind romance that started on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith back in 2005.
The pair, once considered a golden couple of Hollywood, parted ways in 2016, sparking a high-profile split that saw Angelina file for divorce in the same year. A series of bitter disputes over custody and business interests followed, some of which remain unresolved - despite them finalising their split this year.
The ex-couple's legal wrangles have included battles over their six children and the division of their shared assets, such as their Château Miraval winery located in France - dubbed the battle of rosé.
Brad and Angelina share a brood of six: Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, both 16. However, Brad has a strained relationship with Pax, who once called him a 'world-class a**hole'.
After Pax was pictured stumbling out of the Chateau Marmont with pals last month, a source close to Brad claimed the actor was no longer concerned with "what Pax does or doesn't do".
"Brad honestly considers his relationship with Pax unfixable," they added. He is seemingly ready to cut ties with one more child while holding out hope for the remaining children.
Shiloh, 19, legally changed her surname last year when she turned 18 to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie, dropping the 'Pitt'. Meanwhile, at least three of the other four kids have informally dropped Brad's surname.
Many of the children seem to have a strained relationship with Brad as their other son, Maddox, was allegedly involved in a physical confrontation with the actor on a private jet in 2016.
When asked about his relationship with his dad, he told In Touch Weekly in 2019: "Whatever happens, happens."
The source went on to tell MailOnline that Brad blames Angelia for the fractured relationship with their kids, but another source claimed the Fight Club star "continues to play the victim". The Mirror have reached out to reps of Brad and Angelina for comment.
Brad recently made a very rare comment about the closure of his divorce proceedings. He said "I don't think it was that major of a thing. Just something coming to fruition. Legally."
In a candid GQ interview, Brad touched upon the relentless media attention he's faced, remarking: "It's been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way."
When Brad and Angelina's divorce was finalised, her lawyer released a statement saying: "Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.'
Lawyer James Simon added to the Associated Press: "More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family. This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago.'

Molly-Mae Hague gets her FIFTH parking ticket of the year after leaving £200k G Wagon outside her Cheshire office
Molly-Mae Hague has been slapped with her fifth parking ticket of the year as she left her £200,000 G Wagon on a street in Cheshire on Thursday. The former Love Island star, 26, was seen leaving a business meeting at her office and seemed non-plussed to have been slapped with her second ticket in 24 hours. For the outing, the star wore a stylish grey co-ord set from her clothing brand Maebe, which consisted of a long-sleeved pleated button-up top and matching trousers. She sported a pair of casual khaki trainers and toted her essentials in a tan shoulder bag as she strolled down the street with her phone in hand. To complete her look, Molly further accessorised with trendy Prada shades and swept her blonde tresses back into her usual sleek bun. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The TV personality has also received parking fines in March, February and January of this year. A representative for Molly-Mae has been contacted by MailOnline for comment. Her outing comes after it was claimed that a feud is brewing between Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury 's families over their decision to give their relationship another go. The TV star and the boxer, 26, shocked fans last summer when they announced that they had split, with Tommy later revealing it was down to his drinking. But this year, they have slowly reconciled and enjoyed several family trips abroad with their daughter Bambi, two. But a report from The Sun this week suggested that Molly-Mae's sister Zoe is concerned about them getting back together. In the latest episodes of Molly-Mae's Amazon Prime documentary Behind It All, Zoe expressed her doubts over Tommy openly. And this in turn has reportedly angered Tommy's family including his brother Tyson and his wife Paris. A source told the publication: 'The Fury family aren't impressed that Zoe has been so outspoken about Tommy. 'They're a fiercely loyal bunch and seeing Zoe's comments broadcast to millions of people via Amazon absolutely got their hackles up. 'To them, Tommy is a stand-up guy, a good, hard-working father. His drinking issues shouldn't be used as a stick to beat him.' The insider added that Paris is confused as to why Zoe would try to hinder the family from getting back together. Tyson, Tommy and Molly-Mae have been contacted by MailOnline for comment. Zoe said of Tommy during the documentary: 'I do worry for her and my relationship with her if they did get back together. 'I think she potentially needs to look into the future and think about what's best for her and Bambi. She's got a long, rocky road ahead, unfortunately.' It comes after last week Molly-Mae and Tommy looked every inch the happy family as they enjoyed a very lavish 'surprise trip' to the Cotswolds. After months of rumours that the couple had rekindled their romance following their split in August, the pair finally went Instagram official last month with a loved-up family snap. And Tommy has clearly been making the effort since their shock split as he whisked his family off on a 'surprise trip' to the Cotswolds. Sharing an array of snaps to her Instagram Stories, Molly shared some sweet moments from the mini-break as she took a dip in the pool with Bambi. Elsewhere she shared a snippet of her very lavish accommodation which featured huge L-shaped couches and large emperor beds. And Bambi appeared to settle in straight away as she was pushing her toy pram around the luxury property. Alongside a mirror selfie, Molly penned: 'Back from St Tropez and straight to the Cotswolds for a surprise staycation. 'This look is giving mum who's had approx 3 seconds to get ready'. Molly and Tommy fell for each other in front of the nation during series five of Love Island, going on to welcome Bambi and then get engaged in 2023. It comes after a rollercoaster of a year for the couple after they shocked the nation with their split in August 2024 as Tommy claimed his drinking became a problem in their relationship (pictured last year) But fans were shocked when Molly announced on Instagram last August that she and Tommy had split up after five years, with many suspecting he had been unfaithful. In a statement posted to her 8.5million Instagram followers, she confirmed the breakup, saying: 'I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.' Tommy denied continued speculation about him cheating during a magazine interview, insisting any reports about him being with other women were 'complete and utter b*****ks.' The boxer, who's the half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson, said the reason he and Molly ended their romance was down to his excessive drinking. He said: 'People go through different things in life. I'm 25 years old. I went through a lot and my breakup was in front of the whole world... 'Cheating was never a thing. You can ask Molly this yourself. It was the drink, and the drink is not a good thing.' The pair's split was branded a 'publicity stunt' by fans after they were filmed packing on the PDA at Manchester United footballer Luke Shaw 's Hogmanay party in Cheshire.

Chloe Sims looks worlds away from her days on TOWIE as she steps out in a sophisticated white blazer and satin trousers in New York
Chloe Sims looked worlds away from her days on TOWIE as she stepped out in a sophisticated white suit in New York on Wednesday. The former Only Way Is Essex star, 43, looked incredible in a fitted blazer which she layered over a tank top and satin wide legged trousers. The TV personality oozed glamour as she elevated her frame in a pair of stilettos and toted her belongings in a matching clutch. Styling her long brunette tresses in voluminous waves, Chloe accessorised with a gold chain necklace and chunky hoop earrings. Her new look is a far cry from her days on the reality show which she found fame on in 2011. Chloe starred on TOWIE for 10 years before leaving in 2021. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Chloe recently revealed the real reason she abruptly pulled her daughter from filming TOWIE. The reality star told MailOnline she felt uncomfortable by the way Madison, now 20, was treated when she appeared on the ITVBe series and instantly regretted putting her child on TV at such a young age. In an exclusive interview, the mother-of-one said she didn't allow Madi to use social media until she was 16 years old and even now she can't bear the teen having an online profile. Being a protective parent led Chloe to keep Madison out of the limelight as much as possible but she admits trolls have targeted her over their misbelief she was leaving her daughter behind. Chloe has revealed Madison was always in the background during filming and while she doesn't want to follow in her mother's footsteps on reality TV, she does see herself on stage. Speaking to MailOnline, Chloe said: 'I didn't show Madi a lot when I was on TOWIE. When she was little, I let her do a couple of scenes and I didn't like the way she was treated so I pulled her back out and said I didn't want her filming. 'Madi didn't understand because she was so young, and I thought this wasn't her choice and I'm putting her on TV, and this isn't something she has signed up to at five years old. 'I felt very protective of her, and I didn't want her on camera, and I tried to shield her from that whole world. The TV personality oozed glamour as she elevated her frame in a pair of stilettos and toted her belongings in a matching clutch The reality star has now swapped her busty party looks for a more sophisticated style; pictured 2011 'When I was filming TOWIE throughout those years a lot of people didn't realise that she was with me like when we went to Marbella, she was with me, her and her nan, they would be in the room with me. 'I was trying to do the right thing and protect my child, but I wasn't seen as a mother. Trolls would say, 'where's your daughter?' It was tricky navigating that. 'It's a scary decision putting your child on TV because you're exposing them. I'm quite a nervous person anyhow and I think the worst of things, I didn't want anyone looking at my daughter, I'm very protective. I do keep her out of the public eye as much as possible.' Chloe admits she dislikes her daughter being online because she can see how the pressures of social media are deeply affecting teenage girls. The TV star says if it wasn't for her career on the small screen, she wouldn't use Instagram as even as a 42 year old adult, it can damage her self-esteem. She said: 'I am a mum of a 19-year-old daughter. She is my best friend, she is so funny and has grown into her own person, but she is a little bit sassy sometimes, she has a lot of my personality. She is the love of my life. 'I didn't let Madi have social media for ages. I think she was 16 when I agreed to let her have it and I still hate her having it to this day, I can't bear it. If I wasn't in this industry, I wouldn't have it. If you want to feel bad about yourself, just have a little scroll. 'Luckily, she isn't pursuing a reality TV career, but Madison has a really great voice and is good at singing and likes performing arts and acting. 'She was going to drama school in LA. She can sing opera, she has an amazing voice, I don't know where she got it from because I can't sing a note. She's more into singing, which I'm happy for because it's an actual talent.' Despite starring on TOWIE, Celebs Go Dating, and her own series The House of Sims, Chloe says she dreads the idea of her daughter showing any interest in reality TV and her worst nightmare would be Madison joining the cast of Love Island. She argues the dating show needs to have more diverse body types and admits she finds watching the series 'difficult' as a parent.
