Brad Pitt's parents fear losing connection with grandchildren forever due to Angelina Jolie feud

Brad Pitt's ongoing legal battle with Angelina Jolie has reportedly left his parents, William and Jane Pitt, heartbroken over their inability to see their grandchildren for nearly a decade.

Inside Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's family rift

Sources close to the family revealed to the Daily Mail that the couple, once deeply involved in their grandchildren's lives, have been estranged from Brad and Angelina's six children since 2016.

The divide began after an alleged altercation on a private jet prompted Jolie to file for divorce, severing family ties.

William, 83, and Jane, 84, reportedly last spent time with their grandchildren at the 2014 premiere of Unbroken, a film Jolie directed.

At the time, Jane expressed admiration for her daughter-in-law, praising her dedication to their family.

Before the fallout, the grandparents frequently shared time with Brad and Angelina's children: Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

A family insider lamented the loss, stating, "They lived for their grandkids, and now it's been eight years. It's heartbreaking for them to think they might never reconnect."

The strained relationships reportedly extend beyond Brad's parents.

Jolie's father, actor Jon Voight, has also spoken about limited contact with his grandchildren, urging the former couple to reconcile for the children's stability.

Angelina, who recently appeared at the Governors Ball with her son Knox, has been accused of deliberately alienating Pitt from their children.

Meanwhile, sources close to Brad suggest he remains hopeful for a future reconciliation.

In addition to custody disagreements, Pitt and Jolie continue to dispute over their shared winery, adding another layer of complexity to their strained relations.

For the elder Pitts, the rift is a bitter pill to swallow.

As one source put it, "They're in their 80s now, and it's devastating to think they may never see their grandchildren again."
