Brad Pitt is reportedly worried about losing a relationship with all six of his kids
Brad Pitt reportedly wasn’t expecting any gifts from his children on Father’s Day amid their ongoing strained relationship.
Pitt is father to six children whom he shares with ex wife Angelina Jolie.
The celebrity pair have three biological children, Shiloh, 18, and 15-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
They are also parents to three adopted kids; Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, and Zahara, 19.
But since Jolie and Pitt’s divorce, the Fight Club star is said to have become estranged from his kids because of allegations of abuse made by Jolie.
While Pitt has always denied the claims, their children appear to have taken their mother’s side following their break up, so much so that some of their children have dropped Pitt from their names.
Just recently, Shiloh marked her 18th birthday by filing a petition to legally drop her father’s name from hers.
This is said to have left Pitt ‘upset’ as it’s a reminder that he’s ‘lost his children’, a source claimed.
Vivienne also seems to have dropped Pitt from her name, while 22-year-old Maddox starting going by Jolie only in 2021.

Meanwhile, Zahara introduced herself as ‘Zahara Marley Jolie’ when she joined a sorority at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, last November, The Daily Express US reports.
With all these factors in mind, it’s said that Pitt wasn’t expecting anything from his kids this Father’s Day, which fell yesterday (June 16).
A source who claims to have known the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star for two decades said to the news outlet: “Brad isn’t expecting to be opening any gifts or taking a phone call from one of his kids on Father’s Day.
“Saying he’s sad over this would be a huge understatement. He’s completely devastated that none of them seem even remotely interested in continuing any kind of relationship with him. How would any parent feel?”

The claims come after Pax previously penned a scathing post about his famous father on Instagram in 2020.
Sharing a snap of Pitt at the Oscars, he wrote on his Story: “Happy Father’s Day to this world class a**hole. You time and again prove yourself to be a terrible and despicable person.”
“You have no consideration or empathy towards your four youngest children, who tremble in fear when in your presence,” Pax went on to write.
