Brad Pitt has reportedly given up on repairing his strained relationships with his two eldest adopted sons, Maddox, 23, and Pax, 21, blaming their mother, Angelina Jolie, for the rift. Sources claim Pitt believes their upbringing led to the current estrangement, stating, “Brad would be there to give advice, but he cannot when he’s unable to have a relationship with them.” However, Jolie’s camp fired back, accusing Pitt of playing the victim and urging him to take responsibility for his actions.
Pax recently made headlines after a night out at a strip club, with Pitt’s team dismissing concern, saying his actions “reflect who he is.” Maddox, meanwhile, has remained distant since a 2016 altercation with Pitt. While the actor holds hope for reconciling with his younger children—Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox—his relationship with the older boys appears irreparable. Pitt once described himself as a disciplinarian with his sons but admitted he was softer on his daughters.
