The strained relationship between Brad Pitt and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie gradually improved. However, he is said to no longer speak to his two sons Maddox and Pax Thien.

Us Weekly quoted a source as saying that the relationship between Brad Pitt and his eldest son Maddox has not improved even though between him and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie has gradually “thawed”. “That relationship continues as if it didn’t exist,” the source asserted.

According to the source, the “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” star has not seen or spoken to her eldest son. Not only Maddox, the 56-year-old actor also did not communicate with Pax Thien.

Brad Pitt is stuck in the process of improving his relationship with Maddox and Pax Thien.

Brad and Maddox’s father-son relationship has been strained since 2016, after the Oscar-winning star was accused of shouting at his son during a private jet flight to Los Angeles. That incident is said to be “the last drop of water” that caused the beautiful “Maleficent” to file for divorce from Brad.

Last October, a source from Us Weekly revealed, Brad Pitt was extremely disappointed that he and Maddox could not be as close as before. Maddox “disapprove” of his adoptive father’s attempts to fix the relationship.

Maddox moved to Seoul, South Korea, last fall to study at Yonsei University. Although Angelina Jolie’s house is not far from Brad Pitt’s house, Maddox’s brothers also often come to his father’s house to play, but the boy still maintains a cold, non-contact attitude.

According to the source, Pax Thien is no longer close to his adoptive father. After Maddox studies abroad, Brad hopes Pax Thien will change, more interested in connecting with the actor without being influenced by his brother. However, things turned out to be more difficult than Brad thought.

Reports say that the key to resolving the tension lies in Maddox. In September 2019, the paparazzi approached Maddox for an interview on the street when the boy was at school. Maddox did answer two questions about Brad Pitt, but were rather vague.

Specifically, when asked if Brad Pitt would visit his son’s university, Maddox replied: “I don’t know about that, or what happened.” The reporter also directly mentioned the current situation between father and son, Maddox replied: “Whatever happens, it happens.” The focus of the interview then shifts to Maddox’s new life in Korea and his eldest son Jolie-Pitt’s education.

Maddox is said to “disapprove” of Brad Pitt’s attempts to mend the father-son relationship.

Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in September 2016, but so far the process has not been completed. However, the former couple gradually improved their relationship after reaching an agreement on 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 custody. “It took a lot of time and family methods to get to where they are now. The 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren often go back and forth between the two houses. Brad Pitt loves to spend as much time as possible with his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. He seems much happier than before,” the source told People.

In the past two weeks, Brad has been briefly seen twice at Angelina’s mansion in residential Los Feliz (Los Angeles). According to sources from insiders, the two stars keep a good relationship to take care of their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren together after the legal battle for 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 custody.
