Brad Pitt is allegedly doing everything that he can to try and maintain a relationship with his children. But as of late, he barely sees his kids, especially the older ones.

An unnamed source told Closer UK that Pitt is dealing with so much when it comes to his kids. And he couldn’t help but think that his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie has been bad-mouthing him against his children. This is why they refuse to see him or hang out with him.

Since the Ad Astra actor is going through a lot, Pitt has allegedly been trying to blow off steam by talking to his other ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston. The Friends lent Pitt a listening ear and a shoulder to lean on during this difficult time.

Pitt is also convinced that things will become more difficult in the coming years. After all, his children could be asked to testify against him in court.

“The kids will likely be compelled to testify against their dad in court at some stage – it’s a high possibility. That’s why they’re effectively ready to divorce him. Even though they’ll always love Brad, right now they have to support their mom,” the source said.

The source also claimed that Pitt’s relationship with his kids has become so strained to the point that Maddox, Pax, and Zahara no longer use Pitt as their surname. Instead, they now go by Jolie, which is their mom’s family name.

According to the source, it’s only a matter of time before Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox follow suit.

While it is true that Pitt’s relationship with his kids is strained, it’s not true that his three eldest kids no longer use his surname. This is an ongoing rumor but it has not been proven to be accurate by either Jolie or Pitt.

It’s not also true that Pitt has been disturbing Aniston and sharing with his ex-wife how he feels about his relationship with his children. Even though the exes are friends, Aniston is a very busy woman and she has a lot of things to do than listen to Pitt’s rants.

There’s also no proof that Pitt’s children will be called to testify against him in court. This is another rumor that has been ongoing for years but has never been proven to be accurate.
