Brad's Biggest Regret
A source close to the F1 actor spoke to US Weekly about Brad's feelings on the divorce: "The divorce is something that had been controlling his life for so many years. He loved her and he knows he made mistakes." Particularly, he regrets wrecking his relationship with his kids the most. He and Angelina share Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
"[Brad's] biggest regret is he can't repair his relationship with his kids," the source explained. "The case is over but there are no winners." While Brad's legal team tried to paint Angelina as someone who has pitted their kids against him, many of the children have either spoken out publicly against their father or quietly left their relationship with him in the past.

Pax has been the most outspoken against his father, writing on Instagram on Father's Day in 2020, "Happy Father’s Day to this world class ahole!! You time and time again prove yourself to be a terrible and despicable person. You have no consideration or empathy toward your four youngest children who tremble in fear when in your presence … You have made the lives of those closest to me a constant hell … you f—ing awful human being!!"
Then, in 2024, Vivienne, who previously used the last name Jolie-Pitt, had her name appear as "Vivienne Jolie" in the official Playbill for the Broadway production of The Outsiders, which she worked on alongside her mother, who produced the show. Also in 2024, Shiloh reportedly filed court documents to legally changed her name to Shiloh Jolie shortly after turning 18. Maddox also uses the last name "Jolie" and no longer considers Brad his father.
