Unearthed photos show Brad Pitt’s treasured memories of his late mom, who was cut off from her six grandchildren by Angelina

by

As a devoted admirer, I find it regrettable to report that the split between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has brought about unforeseen hardships. Not only have their six children found themselves distanced from their father, but also his mother. These details, as disclosed by Daily Mail, are truly saddening to hear.

For nearly a decade, Pitt’s grandchildren had not had the chance to visit their affectionate grandmother, Jane Etta Pitt, who recently passed away at the age of 84. This sad news was shared on Wednesday.

Information from sources near Pitt portrayed the situation as deeply distressing to The Daily Mail, with these sources attributing the absence of communication to Jolie’s unwillingness to compromise.

According to a source, what’s especially heartbreaking is that Angelina has prevented the children from spending time with their grandparents, their own set of loving grandparents.

The question on everyone’s mind, including Brad, is: “Angelina, where does your heart lie now? Will you continue to harbor bitterness for the foreseeable future?

‘It’s one thing if she wants no contact, but what about the kids?’

Pitt, at 66 years old, had a strong bond with his mother, who occasionally joined him on high-profile events.

Or:

At the age of 66, Pitt was known for his close relationship with his mother, who would occasionally accompany him to glamorous events.

Or:

Pitt’s mother, who was in her 60s, made a few red-carpet appearances alongside her famous son.

These options maintain the original meaning while using more natural and easy-to-read language.

In a small town called Springfield, Missouri, a former school guidance counselor nurtured a now-famous celebrity together with his younger brother Doug and sister Julie.

Jane Etta always took great pride in her son’s acting journey and had been a constant supporter since its inception, long before he landed his major role in the 1991 hit movie Thelma and Louise.

New, never-before-published Daily Mail photographs reveal the renowned actor warmly embracing his mother in a series of images from his university years during the 1980s – a time when his passion for acting was ignited. While dressed as a woman in these photos, the actor is seen reaffirming his connection to his mother at college.

He snapped the photo during his time pursuing a journalism degree at the University of Missouri, where he also belonged to the Sigma Chi fraternity known for frequently putting on performances.

Shortly following the capture of the image, he relocated to Los Angeles with aspirations for stardom and a cinematic career – ambitions that he fulfilled with great success.

Although he achieved great success, Pitt remains deeply connected to his Midwest upbringing. In 2019, he was seen warmly embracing his mother in Springfield, with his father, Bill, watching on.

Regrettably, just as Jane, Bill finds himself disconnected from Shiloh (age 19), the twins Vivienne and Knox (age 17), and their adoptive siblings Maddox (age 24), Pax (age 21), and Zahara (age 20).

All of them, except for Vivienne and Knox, no longer use Pitt as their last name, and they aren’t in touch with Brad at the moment.

It is believed that Pax has a strong preference for avoiding contact with his father, and he gained widespread attention in November 2023 when an Instagram outburth from 2020, where he labeled Pitt as a ‘notoriously rude individual,’ who instills fear in his four youngest children, was revealed by the Daily Mail.

According to the report, it was mentioned that Angelina attributes everything to Brad. However, it’s stated that Brad is currently following a 12-step recovery plan with Alcoholics Anonymous.

‘He’s done his eight and nine steps.

‘Step eight made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.

‘In step nine, he apologizes directly to those individuals whenever it’s feasible, unless doing so could harm them or others. This is something he continues to work on as part of his ongoing program.’

Despite no visible results so far, it was reported by another source to Daily Mail that Brad Pitt remains steadfast in his desire to reconcile with his children. His heart’s deepest wish is for them to rejoin him and his family once again.

According to the explanation, Brad deeply desires to find resolution and rebuild his relationship with his children.

If they refuse to compromise with him, that’s understandable, but he strongly feels that his own family, particularly his parents, and now his father, should not bear the burden of something they played no role in causing.

He suggested that Angelina ought to have consistently motivated the children to keep up a bond with their grandparents from the beginning.

‘Hopefully this is a wakeup call. Life is too short and too precious.’

The other reference indicates that Brad wishes his mother to be honored as the one who served as a mother not only to him but also to Julie and Doug, and as a loving grandma to all their offspring.

It was truly unfortunate and deeply emotional that she couldn’t meet Brad’s children for years, yet she comprehended the circumstances and never blamed Angelina or her grandchildren for it. She realized they might prefer not to communicate due to their dad’s situation, so she maintained a respectful distance.

 ‘It was unfortunate but it became her life, she had to adapt.’
