Brad Pitt's Look-Alike Son Knox Enjoys Major Win On His 17th Birthday Amid Estrangement From The Actor
Knox Jolie-Pitt celebrated his 17th birthday with a Muay Thai win, supported by Angelina Jolie, while Brad Pitt remained absent. Despite the actor's reported attempts to reconnect with Knox and his twin, Vivienne, his strained relationship with his children persists. Meanwhile, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's bitter legal feud over Château Miraval continues, involving accusations of broken agreements and disputes over NDAs linked to past abuse allegations. Knox marked his 17th birthday with a major win at the IKF Point Muay Thai Technical competition over the weekend. His mother, Angelina Jolie, was right by his side, cheering him on as he emerged victorious, but his father, Brad Pitt, was noticeably absent, obviously due to their estrangement. The birthday also marked a joint celebration with his twin sister, Vivienne. Jolie shares Knox, Vivienne, and their four other children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, and Shiloh, with Pitt. At the competition, Jolie turned heads in an all-black outfit as Knox proudly posed with his coaches after his victory. The teen, dressed in black shorts and a T-shirt, smiled for the camera, flashing his white mouth guard with a medal hanging proudly around his neck. Knox's sporting achievement comes after a report revealed that Pitt was "desperate" to reconnect with the twins before their milestone birthday. However, the strained relationship between Pitt and his children appears unchanged as the actor's attempt to reunite has been unsuccessful. Several of the children have already distanced themselves publicly by dropping his name. Zahara, Vivienne, and Shiloh all dropped "Pitt" from their last name, with Shiloh doing so legally, the second she turned 18 in 2024. Another of the kids, Pax, once famously branded Pitt a "world-class a-shole" in a brutal 2020 Father's Day post, bashing and blaming him for the rift in their family. Amid the efforts to reconcile with his children, Pitt and Jolie's post-divorce relationship continues to be fraught with legal battles. Since the "Maleficient" star filed for divorce in 2019 after five years of marriage, one of their most bitter disputes has been over Château Miraval, their $64 million French estate. In 2021, Jolie sold her stake in the winery to Yuri Shefler, owner of SPI Group, which sparked a fierce legal war. The "Fight Club" star accused Jolie of violating their agreement not to sell their shares without mutual approval. He's now seeking access to Jolie's private communications, arguing they are critical to his case. Court documents reveal Pitt's failed attempts to depose Alexey Oliynik of Stoli Group, whom he believes has direct knowledge of the controversial sale. Jolie's legal team has since claimed in court filings that Pitt refused to buy out her share of their jointly owned winery because she declined to sign a non-disclosure agreement. According to the actress's camp, the NDA was "designed to force her silence about his abuse and cover-up," referencing a 2016 private jet incident where Pitt was accused of verbal and physical aggression toward his family. Authorities investigated the incident but did not file charges, and Jolie chose not to pursue legal action at the time. In May 2024, a judge ordered Jolie to produce eight years' worth of non-disclosure agreements, seeking to determine if the "Girl, Interrupted" star had used similar NDAs herself. However, a source close to Pitt described Jolie's 2021 decision to sell her share of their French winery as a calculated move to "punish" her ex-husband. Speaking to People Magazine, the insider claimed, "Brad built an extraordinary, increasingly valuable business, and she chose to deliberately disregard their agreement." Following reports that Pitt and Jolie had reached a divorce settlement last year, a source close to Jolie told People that she hopes Pitt will finally "move on," particularly considering their ongoing legal battle over the winery. "Sadly, until he drops his lawsuit, this family will not have the peace and healing they so very much desire and deserve," the source added. Meanwhile, Pitt has recently been open about facing life's struggles and is said to be eager to put the past behind him. A source told Us Weekly that the actor felt the divorce from Jolie had been a heavy burden for years. "The divorce is something that has been controlling his life for so many years. He loved her and he knows he made mistakes," the insider shared. "It was such a divisive, toxic situation."
