The Jolie-Pitt siblings have been a media sensation since day one.
Fans were shocked when Pitt and Jolie pulled the plug on their iconic 12-year relationship.
The sources accused Pitt of becoming violent toward Jolie and the children during the fateful altercation.
Read on for a breakdown of all the details.
Angelina Jolie paid her first visit to Cambodia while filming “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.”
Thus, the actor adopted six-month-old Maddox in 2002.
In 2006, Pitt adopted Maddox.
The “Salt” actress remarked, “He just out of the blue called him Dad.
Maddox took an interest in hobbies like aviation and studying combat vehicles.
These intellectual pursuits brought the youngster even closer to Pitt.
“He has an extensive knowledge developed on his own since he was young.”
But this wasn’t the first time that Maddox lent a hand for one of Pitt’s films.
In 2012,E!Newsreported that Pitt gave Maddox a Suzuki dirt bike for his 11th birthday.
Soon, rumors began flying about the circumstances of their separation.
In 2022, a court filing about the incident was made public.
A month later, authorities investigated the incident, but no charges were filed.
In 2020, Jolie opened up about her divorce toVogue India.
It was the right decision.”
Throughout the ordeal, Pitt has maintained that he never abused Maddox or any other family members.
The source insisted, “There is no abuse.
[Brad and Angelina] love the kids more than anything else in the world.”
While he denied being physically aggressive, Pitt has owned up to yelling at his children.
Anticipating a long road to redemption, the actor started by addressing his troublesome relationship with alcohol.
As he told theNew York Times, Pitt spent the next year and a half attending Alcoholics Anonymous.
It was an important step towards bettering himself for his kids' sake.
However, for Pitt’s oldest son Maddox, the gesture may have been too little, too late.
But there was one notable absence during the emotional encounter: Maddox was nowhere in sight.
According to an insider, the teen had chosen to opt out of the visit.
“Maddox never wants to see Brad again,” the source toldUs Magazine.
Still, Pitt is desperate to make amends with his estranged son.
In 2019, an insider revealed that the actor was disappointed after several unsuccessful attempts to reconnect with Maddox.
“Maddox hasn’t been receptive,” the source revealed toUs Weekly.
“And for Brad, it’s a tremendous loss.”
In 2019, Wendy Williams offered Brad Pitt some not-so-great advice for reconnecting with Maddox.
The talk show host’s suggestion was … extreme, to say the least.
Thankfully, Pitt did not take that advice.
In 2021,Us Weeklyreported that Maddox testified against Pitt in a custody hearing over the younger Jolie-Pitt children.
Just a few weeks later, Maddox was spotted enjoying a carefree lunch with a friend in Los Angeles.
In the photos, the young celebrity was all smiles.
He even appeared amused by the paparazzi that were lurking nearby.
Anyone who goes up against his mom is not going to get much time from Maddox.
He would do anything for her."
When anInTouchreporter approached the young man at his college campus, Maddox was asked whether Pitt would come visit.
He replied, “I don’t know about that, or what’s happening.”
Then, the reporter dropped the million-dollar question, “Is your relationship with him over?”
The college student apathetically responded, “Whatever happens, happens.”
Sadly, their fractured relationship continues to generate headlines.
In 2019, some media outlets reported that Maddox refused to see his father on Christmas.
The “Bullet Train” actor also missed out on spending a milestone with his son.
AsInTouchreported, Maddox’s 21st birthday came and went with no contact between the two.
Reportedly, Pitt sent Maddox a gift along with a sentimental note but Maddox rejected the gesture.
Shiloh was quick to forgive Pitt after the fallout with Jolie.
The teenager has a close relationship with both of her parents and she wants the same for her siblings.
