Reports Say Brad Pitt Has 'Virtually No Contact' With His Older Kids But Has Visitation Rights With His Younger Children

While Brad Pitt‘s relationship with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon seems to be going from strength to strength, the same can’t be said for his relationship with his and Angelina Jolie‘s six children. Especially their adult children.

According to reports, the Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood actor, 60, has “virtually no contact” with his adult children, in reference to Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, and Shiloh, 18. This news comes just one month after it was revealed that Shiloh had followed in her older sister Zahara’s footsteps and dropped Pitt from her last name. He does, however, still have visitation rights for 15-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, although he doesn’t see them as often as he would like at the moment, as he is in Europe filming the racing movie, F1.

It’s not totally clear where the Bullet Train actor stands with the twins either, as Vivienne appeared to have dropped his last name too – although we don’t know whether it is official due to her age. If you’ll recall, her name appeared in the producer’s assistant slot as ‘Vivienne Jolie,’ instead of ‘Vivienne Jolie-Pitt,’ in the Playbill for The Outsiders, the Tony-winning musical which was produced by the 49-year-old Maleficent actress.

"He has virtually no contact with the adult kids," an insider told People magazine, adding: "His engagement with the younger kids is more limited in recent months because of his filming schedule."

"[Angelina] has the kids most of the time, but per their agreement, he has visitation with the younger kids," the source added.

Brad Pitt Blames Angelina Jolie For 'Sabotaging' His Relationship With His Children

According to reports, some of his children dropping Pitt from their last names has been "heartbreaking" for the Ad Astra actor. "The implication is that they want nothing to do with Brad," a source told Ok!, before saying it "basically confirmed Brad's biggest fear: that Angelina sabotaged his kids' relationship with him."

A separate source echoed this, adding: "He's deeply hurt and is also troubled that Vivienne and Zahara stopped using his name. It's clear Angelina is twisting the knife."
