Brad Pitt Reflects on ‘Biggest Regret’ After Divorce from Angelina Jolie

Hollywood actor Brad Pitt is reportedly still dealing with deep emotional fallout from his lengthy and highly publicized divorce from Angelina Jolie. Despite the legal proceedings finally concluding, insiders reveal that the 61-year-old star’s “biggest regret” remains the fractured relationships with his six children.

According to a report by Us Weekly, a source close to the actor shared, “The divorce is something that has been controlling his life for so many years. He loved her, and he knows he made mistakes.” Pitt and Jolie officially separated in 2016 after a now-notorious private jet incident, launching nearly eight years of legal battles over custody and finances.

Though the finalization of the divorce has brought some closure, Pitt is said to be grappling with the emotional toll it has taken, especially as several of his children have grown increasingly distant. Notably, daughter Shiloh filed to drop “Pitt” from her surname last year, and both Zahara and Vivienne have reportedly begun using only “Jolie” in public settings.

His connection with older sons Maddox and Pax remains particularly strained, according to sources. While Pitt continues to see his underage twins, Knox and Vivienne, under the terms of a custody agreement, contact with his adult children is reportedly rare. “The case is over, but there are no winners,” one insider remarked.

In the years following the separation, Pitt has taken meaningful steps toward personal transformation. He reportedly quit drinking and has prioritized sobriety and mental well-being—changes that those close to him say have brought greater emotional balance.

Romantically, Pitt has moved on and is currently dating 32-year-old Ines de Ramon. The couple has been spotted together at several events, including a recent outing in London. Despite the ongoing challenges, Pitt remains philosophical about life post-divorce, reportedly saying that things “just evolve,” and he no longer lives for the public spotlight.

While the legal chapter may be closed, the emotional impact—particularly his strained family ties—continues to be a defining aspect of Pitt’s personal journey.
