Brad Pitt wants to reconcile with his youngest children before their birthday — but he’s running out of time!
As we’ve been following, Brad and his ex wife Angelina Jolie‘s kids are not on good terms with their dad, to say the least. We mean, with his son Pax going as far as calling him a “world class a**hole”, while three of his daughters — Shiloh, Zahara, and Vivienne — dropped his last name… it paints a clear picture of what their relationship is like. But the F1 actor hasn’t given up hope.
According to a source for DailyMail.com, ahead of twins Vivienne and Knox turning 17, Brad hopes to mend their relationship. For reference, the twins’ birthday is THIS Saturday. The insider said he’s “desperate” for “one final shot to get together” despite the fact he “knows the chance … is remote to say the least”. Oof.

With Vivienne dropping the “Pitt” from her last name, the reportedly “devastated” 61-year-old “got the message loud and clear”. But since Knox has yet to drop his name, Brad has a “glimmer of hope” things might work out for him. We mean, we also heard he still sees the twins “periodically”, so maybe his hopes aren’t shattered completely just yet…
A second source told the outlet his kids are “very important to his life” despite not seeing them all that much. They also say he wants them “all back in the fold”:
“He will always believe and always hope there is a chance to be back with all of them, and he doesn’t want to think otherwise. He doesn’t want to give up, he’s not that kind of guy, he’s not that kind of father. He is a proud father, and he would be happy to have them see that eventually.”
The insider claimed he wants his children to “make the move because he has tried over and over again to get back in their good graces”. He’s also accepted that he and his ex wife will always be “at odds”.
Yeah, to say the least, he and Angelina are at odds. To say the very least. But something tells us giving up on that battle is what’s costing him the war with his kids — who have been pretty unreservedly on Mom’s side this whole time.
