During their marriage, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie faced challenges in raising their six children due to their differing parenting styles. Sources revealed that the couple clashed over their approaches to parenting, with Pitt desiring more structure and rules for their children, while Jolie leaned towards fostering independence and responsibility from a young age.
Despite their differences, both Pitt and Jolie shared a common vision for their children's futures, emphasizing experiential learning and a non-traditional approach to education over conventional schooling.
Following their separation in 2016, the former couple has been engaged in ongoing legal battles over custody issues and their shared assets, including the Château Miraval winery. Jolie recently urged Pitt to end the conflict and focus on healing their family.
Amidst the legal drama, reports indicate that Pitt has limited contact with his adult children and has reduced engagement with the younger ones due to his filming commitments. Notably, some of the children have made headlines for dropping Pitt's last name, with Shiloh legally changing her surname to just Jolie and Zahara and Vivienne omitting his last name in public appearances.
As the situation unfolds, Jolie's lawyer has threatened to gather evidence to refute Pitt's allegations if he does not withdraw his lawsuit against her. Pitt, who has been in a relationship with Ines de Ramon since 2022, has not publicly addressed the status of his relationship with his children.
