Brad Pitt's 'biggest regret' after Angelina Jolie divorce is his 'irreparable' relationship with his kids

Daily Mail​13 hours ago
Brad Pitt is reportedly trying to move forward with his life despite lingering regrets.
The actor, 61, is still haunted by his 'biggest regret' in the wake of his divorce from Angelina Jolie, a source told Us Weekly on Thursday.
The insider said: 'The divorce is something that had been controlling his life for so many years. He loved her and he knows he made mistakes.'

Among those is his damaged relationship with his children, which the source claimed is unrepairable.
DailyMail.com has contacted Brad's representative for comment but hasn't yet received a response.
The insider went on to describe Brad and Angelina's eight-year-long divorce proceedings as 'such a divisive, toxic situation'.
The former couple have six children: Maddox, 23; Pax, 21; Zahara, 20; Shiloh, 19; and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
Brad and Angelina began dating after shooting the 2005 film Mr & Mrs Smith together, and they tied the knot years later in 2014.
But Angelina filed for divorce in 2016, just days after an infamous incident aboard a private jet in which she accused Brad of being physically and verbally abusive toward her and her children while intoxicated.
In the wake of their separation and divorce, Brad's relationship with his children began to suffer
The source indicated that events preceding the split and the subsequent court battle 'turned the kids against him,' though they noted he 'doesn't blame [Angelina] for everything'.
Although Brad reportedly hopes to save his relationship with his children, a source previously revealed to DailyMail.com why he sees his relationship with his children as 'unfixable '.
Us Weekly's source said his 'biggest regret is he can't repair [his relationship with his kids],' adding: 'The case is over but there are no winners.'
While it was a 'relief' to finally be done with the divorce proceedings, the source added that its 'lasting impact is something he's going to live with forever'.
Putting the divorce behind him was also an imperfect consolation, as it has 'been hard for him because he doesn't have a great relationship with his kids'.
Brad's strained relationship with his children was epitomized by his daughter Shiloh's petition in court to drop his last name in August 2024.
His daughter Zahara has also referred to herself since going to college only by her mother's last name, and his daughter Vivienne used only 'Jolie' for her last name when she was credited in Playbill for her work assisting her mother in producing the Broadway musical The Outsiders.
The oldest two, his adopted sons Maddox and Pax, have been particularly vocal about their distaste for their father.
Brad still has visitation with his youngest twins as part of his custody agreement with Angelina because they are under 18, but he reportedly rarely sees his adult children.
Despite his damaged relationship with his children, Brad has reportedly managed to find a new balance thanks to his focus on sobriety, which he turned to after his split from Angelina.
'Ever since he stopped drinking, everything has changed,' the source claimed.
But they also noted that his ex-wife 'is still not in a place where she is going to forgive him or ever will'.
Brad previously admitted that he 'needed rebooting' after his marriage came crashing down, which led him to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
He said on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast in June: 'I was trying anything and everyone, anything anyone threw at me. It was a difficult time. I needed to wake the f*** up in some areas.'

Bond Girl, 70, looks unrecognizable 35 years after starring in 007 film – can you guess who it is?

A BOND Girl from the beloved franchise looks completely different from her role in 1989 flick. 35 years ago, this lady starred in 007 film Licence To Kill and made a lasting impact on viewers. 7 7 7 7 When the lady, who is now 70 years of age, starred in the movie, the franchise was fronted by Timothy Dalton.

She also appeared in films, including A Vacation in Hell, Stepfather III, The Crossing Guard, Mallrats, The Devil's Rejects and The Visitation. You've guessed it, it's Della Churchill star Priscilla Barnes. Stepping out in Los Angeles and making a rare appearance, Priscilla looked laid back after a trip to the grocery store. Seen arriving home after getting her groceries, Priscilla wore a casual outfit that made her look years younger than she is. 7 Looking youthful, the stunning New Jersey-born beauty wore some distressed jeans and a simple t-shirt.

She then later emerged carrying a glass and holding an empty bag. Though Priscilla is known and loved as an actress, she began her career as a model. Her first break came when American comedian, actor, entertainer and producer, Bob Hope, saw her in a local fashion show. He then invited her to join his troupe for a 1973 performance at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington. Spellbound by her brief brush with the world of showbiz, Priscilla moved to LA and began acting. Then, while she was working as a hostess at a Hollywood nightclub, she made a slight career U-turn.
