Brad Pitt's Heartfelt Confession: His Biggest Regret Post-Jolie Divorce

BRAD PITT'S DIRTY SECRET: THE ACTOR'S TOXIC DIVORCE AND CHILDREN NIGHTMARE

Hollywood's most eligible bachelor, Brad Pitt, is trying to move on from his latest high-profile heartbreak, but insiders claim the 61-year-old actor is still reeling from the devastating effects of his divorce from Angelina Jolie. The troubled star's life was recently shaken when his home was burgled while he was away promoting his new racing drama F1 - a stark reminder that even with a billion-dollar smile, nothing can shield him from the harsh realities of his personal life.

According to an insider who spoke exclusively to Us Weekly, Pitt is still haunted by his 'biggest regret' - his damaged relationship with his six children. The source claims that the divorce, which was finalized after eight years of grueling court battles, has left a lasting impact on the Oscar-winning actor. "The divorce is something that had been controlling his life for so many years," the insider reveals. "He loved her and he knows he made mistakes."

Those mistakes, it seems, have taken a toll on Pitt's relationship with his children. The source claims that events leading up to the split - including the infamous plane altercation in which Jolie accused Pitt of being physically and verbally abusive towards her and their kids while intoxicated - "turned the kids against him as well." The insider adds, "The Tree Of Life star doesn't blame [Jolie] for everything," but it's clear that the damage has been done.

As a result, Pitt is said to be desperate to repair his relationship with his children. However, a source previously revealed to thescholarlynote.com why he sees his bond with his kids as 'unfixable.' The insider claimed that Pitt's "biggest regret is he can't repair [his relationship with his kids]," adding, "The case is over but there are no winners."

But what exactly went wrong? Insiders claim that the divorce proceedings were a toxic and divisive experience for everyone involved. The source notes that the prolonged court battle "has been hard for him because he doesn't have a great relationship with his kids." And it's not just Pitt who's struggling to come to terms with the fallout.

In August 2024, Pitt's daughter Shiloh made headlines when she petitioned the court to drop her father's last name. Her sisters Zahara and Vivienne, both of whom are now in their late teens, have also publicly distanced themselves from their father. The oldest two, Maddox and Pax, have been particularly vocal about their dislike for Pitt - a stark contrast to the loving family they once presented.

Despite this, Pitt still has visitation rights with his youngest twins, Knox and Vivienne, as part of his custody agreement with Jolie. However, insiders claim that he rarely sees his adult children. The source notes, "He's trying to move forward and find a new balance in his life, but it's hard when you've been through what he has."

So, how is Pitt coping? Insiders claim that the actor has found solace in sobriety, which he turned to after splitting from Jolie. The source notes, "Ever since he stopped drinking, everything has changed." But despite this newfound stability, Pitt's ex-wife remains a constant thorn in his side.

Jolie is said to be still reeling from the aftermath of their divorce and has yet to forgive her former husband for his perceived wrongdoings. Insiders claim that she "isn't in a place where she is going to forgive him or ever will." And Pitt's attempts to move on with his life have been met with skepticism.

The actor recently began dating Ines de Ramon, 32 - a relationship that has been subject to intense scrutiny from the media. When asked about their decision to make their public debut at the British Grand Prix in July 2024, Pitt was candid about their motivations. "No, dude, it's not that calculated," he said. "If you're living - oh my God, how exhausting would that be? If you're living with making those kinds of calculations? No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve."

But behind the scenes, insiders claim that Pitt is still struggling to come to terms with his divorce and its aftermath. The source notes, "He's trying to put the past behind him, but it's hard when you've been through what he has." And as for Jolie? Insiders claim she's "still holding onto her hurt" - a sentiment that suggests their toxic divorce may be far from over.
