As they navigate the complexities of parenthood post-divorce, Hollywood actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie find themselves caught in a web of custody arrangements and strained relationships. The former couple, who once captured the world’s attention with their on-screen chemistry, now find their focus centered on their six children.

Pitt and Jolie have been entangled in a custody battle for years, their family dynamics dissected by media outlets and curious eyes. The former couple has six children: Maddox (22), Pax (19), Zahara (18), Shiloh (17), and the twins Knox and Vivienne (15). Yet, it’s the older boys who have become focal points of attention due to the seemingly strained relationship with their father.

While Jolie has been frequently spotted alongside Maddox and Pax, the same can’t be said for Pitt. Reports suggest a conspicuous absence, with Pitt seldom appearing in public alongside his eldest sons. The custody arrangement’s legal aspects are complex, especially for their adult children.

Pitt’s access to his minor children is clearly defined by a court agreement, despite previous allegations of obstruction. However, this legal framework doesn’t apply to his older sons, Maddox and Pax, who are now legal adults. With no legal obligations dictating their interactions, the terrain of their relationships is uncharted and fragile.

Insiders revealed that Maddox has a distant and “nonexistent” bond with his father. Likewise, Pax though physically present, shares a similarly strained connection. In the past, there was hope that the physical distance brought about by Maddox’s overseas college education would pave the way for reconciliation with Pax. Yet, the optimism expressed back then has yielded few tangible results.

Angelina Jolie’s Recent Outing with Son, Pax Sparks Controversy

In a recent stroll through Chicago’s vibrant streets, Jolie was spotted accompanied by her 19-year-old son, Pax Jolie-Pitt. The duo ventured through the city’s eclectic neighborhoods, with Jolie showcasing her New York flair in an all-black ensemble that radiated effortless elegance.

Her son, Pax, opted for a casual yet fashionable look, sporting black pants, a light brown sweatshirt, and classic Converse sneakers. As they meandered through shops and galleries, their camaraderie was captured by onlookers and paparazzi lenses. However, this seemingly routine outing took an unexpected turn when Jolie’s bodyguard inadvertently slammed the car door into Pax’s face.

One such comment read, “No private life for her poor kids. Let them live their life and see their dad: enough of this woman!” while another commenter wrote, “Why do her children always look so miserable?” Another commenter speculated: “Maddox looks perennially smug and as for the rest, a bit sad and uncomfortable. Hope these kids are truly happy in private.”

On the flip side, positive comments praised Jolie’s dedication as a mother, emphasizing the importance of one-on-one time with her children. The comments reflected admiration for Pax’s appearance and growth, underscoring the sentiment that he is growing up too fast in the public eye. One fan wrote, “he’s adorable.”
