Jane Pitt, mom to Brad Pitt, dies at 84. Granddaughter calls her ‘love in its purest form'
Jane Pitt, a schoolteacher, philanthropist and the mother of film star Brad Pitt, died on Tuesday at the age of 84. The Pitt family shared her obituary with KY3, an NBC-affiliated station in Springfield, Mo., where Jane and her husband, Bill, raised their three children — Brad, Doug Pitt and Julie Neal. The cause of Pitt's death was not revealed by the family. Doug Pitt's daughter Sydney shared a tribute to her grandmother on her Instagram account with a series of pictures. 'We were not ready for you to go yet but knowing you are finally free to sing, dance, and paint again makes it a tad easier,' she wrote. 'I don't know how we move forward without her. But I know she's still here in every brushstroke, every kind gesture, every hummingbird. She was love in its purest form,' Sydney added. In addition to being an accomplished artist, her family said Jane Pitt was an elementary school teacher with the Springfield public school system. In 2009, the Pitts donated $1 million to establish the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center at Mercy Hospital in Springfield. She would occasionally make red carpet appearances with her son Brad. The actor's six children are among the Pitts' 14 grandchildren, and the family said Jane Pitt treasured her role as grandmother. 'The years of 'Your Special Day' of one-on-ones with each grandkid are some of their fondest memories,' the family said in her obituary.

Brooklyn Beckham Shares Sweet Tribute to Sister Harper on 14th Birthday Amid Ongoing Family Feud
Brooklyn Beckham is sending birthday wishes to his little sister, Harper. On Thursday, June 10, the youngest of David and Victoria Beckham's children turned 14 years old. To mark the occasion, Brooklyn, 26, took to his Instagram Story to share a sweet tribute. Brooklyn posted a photo of him and wife Nicola Peltz smiling with their arms around Harper, who stands in the middle. 'Happy birthday harper we love you x,' he wrote in white text on the photo. The photographer's post comes as rumors about a family feud continue to swirl. A source close to the situation exclusively told Star recently that Brooklyn and Nicola, 30, are standing up to his parents. 'David and Victoria have been relentless for the last five years, constantly going after Brooklyn and Nicola,' the insider said. 'There's been this ongoing pressure and criticism, they just can't seem to let Brooklyn and Nicola live their lives.' The source added that Brooklyn has been 'trying to make his own way' in the world. 'He doesn't deserve to be belittled or ignored for that,' the insider explained. 'It's as if they're rattled and getting terrible advice, and now, Brooklyn and Nicola are finally standing up for themselves.' After Brooklyn and Nicola were absent from David Beckham's 50th birthday celebration in May — which his three siblings, Cruz, 20, Romeo, 22, and Harper, attended — a source told People that the couple skipped out because they didn't want to be around Romeo's then-girlfriend, Kim Turnbull. The source alleged that Brooklyn and Turnbull, 24, dated, but the model denied those reports on her Instagram Story on June 16. 'I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question,' she wrote, referring to Brooklyn. 'Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16. I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation & set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved.' Shortly after the legendary soccer player's birthday party, Romeo and Turnbull broke up. Despite the drama, David included Brooklyn in his heartfelt Father's Day post. The former LA Galaxy player shared an Instagram carousel filled with snaps of all four of his children. 'My most important & favourite job in life is being a dad… I'm so proud of all of you and like daddy ( sorry boys ) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what… Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad… Happy Father's Day… I love you kiddies more than you could imagine.. 🩷🩷🩷🩷 @victoriabeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham@cruzbeckham #HarperSeven @tedbeckhamdavid 🩷,' David captioned his post.
