Brad Pitt is said to be upset after Angelina Jolie brought their son Knox to the 2024 Governors Awards, raising questions about her intentions amid their ongoing legal battles. According to a source, Pitt believes that Jolie’s decision to bring their 16-year-old son to the event just days after the conclusion of their Château Miraval trial was a deliberate move to provoke him.
Angelina Jolie’s Red Carpet Surprise
Angelina Jolie made a public appearance at the Governors Awards in Hollywood on Sunday, where she was accompanied by her son Knox. This marked the first time in three years that the teenager was seen posing publicly with his mother on the red carpet. The unexpected mother-son duo quickly drew attention, sparking speculation regarding the timing of their appearance.
A source close to Brad Pitt told Page Six that he found it “coincidental” that Jolie brought Knox to the event shortly after the trial related to their French estate was resolved. The insider added that Pitt questions the motive behind this move, implying that it might have been a calculated effort to “push his buttons.”
Jolie’s Perspective on the Event
However, other sources suggest a different narrative. According to an insider close to Jolie, the actress was “proud” to have Knox by her side for the prestigious event. The source also mentioned that while Knox generally prefers to stay out of the public eye, he expressed interest in attending the Governors Awards and specifically asked his mother if he could accompany her. Jolie was reportedly thrilled by his request and described their time together as “memorable.”
Ongoing Legal Struggles and Tension
The appearance comes amid the ongoing tension between the former couple, who separated in 2019 after a highly publicized divorce. This year, the legal wrangling continued, with a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruling in favor of Brad Pitt regarding the Château Miraval estate dispute, dismissing Jolie’s attempts to have the case thrown out. The bitter legal battles have undoubtedly played a role in the strained relationship between the two.
A source close to Pitt also revealed that the actor was still reeling from the fact that their daughter Shiloh, 18, dropped his surname from her name earlier this year. The insider mentioned that Brad Pitt was heartbroken over the change, as it marked a significant shift in his relationship with his children.
A Divided Family
The Jolie-Pitt family, once considered one of Hollywood’s most iconic, has now become increasingly fragmented. While Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie continue to share custody of their children, sources close to Pitt have expressed concerns that his relationship with his kids, especially with Shiloh, has deteriorated. The actor reportedly feels that Jolie’s actions have led their children to distance themselves from him.
Brad Pitt’s reaction to the Governors Awards appearance suggests that the tension between him and Jolie is far from over, and the legal battles seem to have intensified the emotional stakes for both parties involved.
