Brad Pitt’s children distanced themselves from him one by one, making him realize that his legal battles with his mother and his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, were the cause.
After the fateful flight they took in 2016, the family was never the same, and bitterness between the once-beloved Hollywood couple erupted in public afterwards.
“The fact that the kids mentioned Brad’s name is just the tip of the iceberg,” said a source close to the matter. “Brad spent a lot of time and money trying to do what he thought was best for his children, but now he’s wondering if it was worth it.”
The impact on the children was unimaginable, as sources say the Oscar winner “regrets everything that happened and knows he was not a model husband or father during their time together.”
After this uproar, insiders told the star magazine that the father of six is changing to be acceptable in the eyes of his children.
“He has become a ‘better person’ and is sober. As for whether he will ever be able to rebuild a relationship with his children, the 60-year-old “knows he can’t force the issue” and force them to “want to see it.”
“It has to be on their terms, but he’ll be there when they’re ready,” the insider said.
