Brad Pitt “misses his kids” during the holidays and feels Christmas “won’t be the same” if he can’t spend time with them, amid his legal battle with his mother Angelina Jolie.
The former couple share three biological children: Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16, as well as adopted children Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, and Zahara, 19.
‘Brangelina’ went public as a couple in 2006 and married in 2014 before separating in 2016, triggering a bitter court dispute over property and custody of the children.
Pitt is said to be estranged from his children, several of whom have legally abandoned their last name, most recently Shiloh after she turned 18 in May. Then Pax was involved in a motorcycle accident in July and Pitt reportedly couldn’t even visit him in the hospital.
Now, with Pitt’s 61st birthday approaching on December 18 and Christmas arriving shortly after, he is said to feel the pain of the separation especially acutely.
“Brad misses his kids and wishes he had a closer relationship with them, particularly as they celebrate the holidays and their birthday this month,” a source reported. Page six.

Pitt is said to be “grateful to have an amazing partner,” who the source described as “supportive of him,” adding that “Brad is looking forward to ringing in the new year with her.”
In May of this year, when Shiloh requested to give up the Pitt last name, a source shared, “Brad feels Angelina has turned his children against him.”
Last month, Jolie walked the Governors Awards red carpet with Knox on her arm, in a move that a source said Pitt considered calculated to “push his buttons” just days after a judge ruled that their legal dispute over his French winery will go to trial.
Pitt, 60, and Jolie, 49, fell in love during the filming of the 2005 film Mr. And Mrs. Smith, when he was still married to his first wife, Jennifer Aniston.

However, in court papers she filed in April in a legal dispute over a property, Jolie accused Pitt of abusing her “long before” the plane trip.
Amid the collapse of their marriage, Pitt and Jolie became immersed in a rancorous custody battle over their six children, four of whom are now adults.
Pax suffered a terrible accident in July of this year when he crashed his dirt bike into a car in Los Angeles without wearing a helmet.
Sources told DailyMail.com that Jolie was “by his side in the hospital,” while “Brad is distraught and worried about Pax’s accident but is unable to contact him.”
The accident came four years after Pax unleashed an explosive rant on social media calling his father a “world-class moron” and a “terrible, despicable person” who had made his four youngest children “shiver in fear.” .
