Since Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's highly-publicized breakup, the focus has shifted to how their children have been coping with the situation. In recent years, glimpses into the thoughts of their eldest children, Maddox, Pax, and Zahara, have given insight into their relationship with their father. Now, in 2024, sources claim that Pitt remains optimistic about rebuilding a bond with his eldest children.

According to an insider speaking to OK, Pitt's eldest children no longer speak to him, adding a layer of awkwardness as their siblings have also cut ties. Despite this, Pitt remains hopeful that they will eventually come around. The insider further stated that Pitt is eager to move on and leave the past behind, while Jolie continues to take jabs at him in the press, emphasizing her years spent healing from the pain he caused the family.

Although Pitt's relationship with his three eldest children remains strained, their custody agreement allows him to spend time with the three youngest children. Recent photographs show Pitt enjoying moments with them, indicating that things are relatively stable in that aspect.

However, the prospects of reconciliation with his eldest children appear challenging. Maddox, reportedly testified against Pitt in court, while Pax has expressed his grievances on social media, and Zahara has dropped "Pitt" from her last name, signifying her distancing herself from her father.

For those unfamiliar with the family dynamics, Jolie and Pitt welcomed and adopted a total of six children: Maddox, aged 22, Pax, aged 20, Zahara, aged 19, Shiloh, aged 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, aged 15. While the children maintain a close relationship with Angelina, contact with Brad has seemingly been limited since their parents' divorce.

As the public continues to speculate about the future of Brad Pitt's relationship with his eldest children, it remains to be seen whether reconciliation is on the horizon or if the divide will persist, underscoring the ongoing complexity of the couple's separation.
