Zahara and Maddox Jolie-Pitt were seen on a rare outing in Los Angeles on Tuesday amid drama with their estranged father Brad Pitt. Earlier this week, it was revealed that their famous dad believes his relationship with two of his kids is now 'unfixable' - which also sparked backlash from ex-wife Angelina Jolie. He shares Zahara, 20, Maddox, 23, and Pax, 21 - whom he adopted with Jolie. The former couple also welcomed biological children Shiloh, 19, as well as twins Vivienne and Knox, 16. Following a lengthy eight-year battle, the pair's divorce was officially finalized late last year in December. Zahara and Maddox were spotted enjoying a lowkey hike at Griffith Park with their adorable dogs in the warmer weather - and seemingly brushed aside any family drama. The 20-year-old, who is spending time in California amid her summer break, kept it casual in a pair of denim shorts as well as a plain, black T-shirt. Just a few days earlier, Zahara sparked engagement rumors when she stepped out for a flirty date in Hollywood while wearing a diamond sparkler on her wedding finger. Maddox joined his younger sibling for the daytime excursion in a pair of tan cargo pants as well as a green jacket and cap on top of his head.

Pitt reportedly has a strained relationship with some of his children following his split from Jolie in 2016. Last year on her 18th birthday, their daughter Shiloh notably filed a petition to drop Pitt from her last name. At the time, a source told 'He knew this was coming and there is nothing he can do about it right now. 'It's sad but Brad's strained relationship with his kids and Angelina is just a way of life for him now.' However, the insider further explained that the actor has always left the door open if his estranged children wanted to reconnect. 'He respects Shiloh's decision. He loves her and no matter what happens, he is always only a phone call away. He will be there for Shiloh and any of his kids whenever they need, no questions asked. But it's up to them to make the next move.' A separate source stated that Pitt 'knows that, with some of the other kids who are not biologically his children, they do not understand and may never allow him back into their lives.' At the time, the insider added that the Hollywood star feels that some time after finalizing his divorce from Jolie that his biological kids 'will take a good look in the mirror and realize that their father is a part of them.' Late last year in December, a source informed Page Six that Brad 'misses his kids' ahead of the holidays. 'Brad is missing his kids and wishes he had a closer relationship with them, particularly with celebrating the holidays and his birthday this month.'

The actor recently broke his silence on the divorce for GQ's June 2025 issue amid promoting his new movie F1. 'No, I don't think it was that major of a thing,' the star told the publication. 'Just something coming to fruition. Legally.' The Fight Club star - who is currently in a relationship with Ines de Ramon - then reflected on how his love life has been in the spotlight for decades. 'It's been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way.' Brad was also questioned if his red carpet debut with the jewelry designer last year at the 2024 British Grand Prix was a publicity stunt. 'No, dude, it's not that calculated,' Pitt replied. 'If you're living, oh my God, how exhausting would that be? If you're living with making those kinds of calculations? No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve.' The actor also reflected on fame by explaining, 'It's been an annoyance I've had to always deal with in different degrees, large and small, as I do the things I really want to do. 'So, it's always been this kind of nagging time suck or waste of time, if you let it be that, I don't know. I don't know. Mostly I feel pretty…. My life is fairly contained.' He continued, 'It feels pretty warm and secure with my friends, with my loves, with my fam, with my knowledge of who I am, that, you know, it's like this fly buzzing around a little bit.' Brad has been preparing for the release of his latest movie F1 - which is set to hit theaters later this month on June 27 Back in March, a source told People that Pitt is in a 'great place' with Ines de Ramon and added he is 'happy that the divorce is behind him.'

Brad Pitt Reportedly Ready To Cut Ties With Two Of His Kids With Angelina Jolie Over 'Unfixable' Relationship
Hollywood star Brad Pitt is said to be considering cutting ties with his adopted sons, Pax and Maddox Jolie-Pitt. The actor shares the duo with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie and has reportedly had a strained relationship with them since she filed for divorce in 2016. Brad Pitt also reportedly believes that Angelina Jolie raised them the wrong way and sees their recent actions as a direct result of how they were brought up. Months after finalizing his divorce from Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt has reportedly made a shocking move by cutting off two of his children. According to reports, Pax, the child he and Jolie adopted from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, is one of the kids the "F1" star has decided to cut off, having already had a strained relationship with the young adult over the years. "He has zero concern with what Pax does or doesn't do. [Pax's] actions reflect who he is," a source close to Pitt told the Daily Mail, seemingly referencing Pax's recent daredevil driving accidents and wild nights out. "Brad honestly considers his relationship with Pax unfixable," the source added. The decision isn't surprising, as Pax has been the most vocal about his issues with his father. In 2020, he took to social media to slam the actor, describing him as a "terrible and despicable person," an "awful human being," and other damning words that highlighted the strain on their bond. Interestingly, the other child Pitt has chosen to cut off is Maddox. Unlike Pax, who has been in the news more often, Maddox has taken a quiet approach to life and has yet to publicly call out his father. In fact, when he was once asked whether his relationship with Pitt was over, he only gave a vague answer, saying, "Well, whatever happens, happens," per In Touch Weekly. Now, according to the source, Maddox, just like Pax, has made it clear to Pitt that he wants nothing to do with him, which seemingly influenced the actor's decision to cut them both off. "Pax and Maddox have made it abundantly clear how they feel, and Brad has nothing to say about either of them," the insider shared. Aside from Pax and Maddox, Pitt and Jolie share four other children: Shiloh, Zahara, and twins Vivienne and Knox. His relationship with all four also seems strained, which was recently fueled by speculation that Zahara and Vivienne have dropped his surname. Shiloh, on the other hand, officially distanced herself from her dad by legally dropping his last name when she turned 18 in 2024. Still, according to the source, Pitt has not given up on his relationship with the quartet and "holds out hope" that they will "one day come around." Although it's unclear when Pitt and Jolie began having issues in their marriage, their troubles came into the spotlight after an infamous 2016 incident, where Pitt was reported to have been violent toward her and their children aboard a private jet. Following the incident, Jolie filed for divorce, marking the beginning of a long and contentious separation that lasted nearly a decade. A key part of the dispute involved custody of their children, and while they were ultimately granted joint custody, Jolie retained primary custody for several years. Now, Pitt is said to believe that Jolie's parenting fell short of a good standard and has influenced some of the children's choices, particularly those involving "drama." "Brad believes that whatever his kids are going through right now is a direct result of how they have been raised," said the insider. "They are now old enough to make their own choices, and if their choices include drama, that is all on them. Brad would be there to give advice, but he cannot be when he is unable to have a relationship with them at this time." Currently, Pitt is in a relationship with jewelry designer Ines de Ramon. The two began dating even before the actor finalized his divorce from his "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" co-star, and they recently moved in together. On the other hand, Jolie has steered clear of romance to focus on her career and children. According to a source who spoke to Radar Online, the trauma from the divorce has left the actress with trust issues, even though she has moved on from Pitt. Another source claimed that Jolie has been receiving plenty of offers from potential suitors but has turned them all down. "She keeps them at a distance because she's terrified of getting hurt again the way she did with Brad," the insider shared.
