Brad Pitt has almost run out of children who still have ties to him.
One after the other, his and Angelina Jolie’s kids reach adulthood and publicly sever ties with him in some form.
However, twins Knox and Vivienne are both still minors.
Now, with the two having just turned 17, Pitt is reportedly hoping to somehow make nice in a last-ditch attempt to be a dad.
Are Knox and Vivienne Jolie Brad Pitt’s last chance to be a dad?
According to a recent report by The Daily Mail, an inside source describes Brad Pitt as downright “desperate” to repair the damaged bond with Knox and Vivienne Jolie.
He wants “one final shot to get together,” the report details, as he allegedly hopes to “make amends.”
However, the insider acknowledged that Pitt “knows the chance … is remote to say the least.”
Knox and Vivienne turned 17 on Saturday, July 12.
Though they are still minors and would not have such an easy time filing for a name change as sister Shiloh did the moment that she reached adulthood, their feelings are not a mystery.
Pitt reportedly felt “devastated” and “got the message loud and clear” when Vivienne listed herself as Vivienne Jolie, not Jolie-Pitt, on a 2024 Playbill.
However, with no similar public signal from Knox, the 61-year-old actor reportedly feels a “glimmer of hope.”
Apparently he ‘doesn’t want to give up’
Despite his alleged actions in the past and his legal war against their mother, the report claims that Brad Pitt still considers all of the children “very important to his life” and wants them “all back in the fold.”
A second inside source reported:
“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.”
The glowing assessment of Pitt added: “He doesn’t want to give up, he’s not that kind of guy, he’s not that kind of father.” Generally, actions speak louder than words.
“He is a proud father, and he would be happy to have them see that eventually,” this same second insider went on.
According to the source, he expects his kids to“make the move.”
The insider explained that this is “because he has tried over and over again to get back in their good graces.”
Only Knox and Vivienne can decide whether they want contact with Brad Pitt
According to reports, Brad Pitt does still see Knox and Vivienne Jolie from time to time. Being minors, they may have little choice in the matter.
The actor is far from alone in his alleged desire to rekindle a relationship with his children.
It seems that, every few weeks, a new brainrotten thinkpiece comes out begging people to reestablish contact with toxic relatives for one reason or another.
One has to assume that the authors are toxic relatives themselves.
Pitt, whose brand is so toxic that others receive deserved backlash for interacting with him, would obviously like good relations with his children. But that ship has likely sailed for most of them — or, possibly, all of them.
Each of the Jolie kids gets to make the choice as to whether to have any contact with Pitt.
But they don’t get to redo their childhoods, and Pitt does not get to redo it, either.
They all must live with the consequences.
