Even though Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s divorce is finalized, there is still a legal battle going on and questions swirling around. One of those questions has to do with the actor’s relationship with his kids.

Vivienne’s symbolic decision to drop “Pitt” from her surname in a 2024 theater playbill struck a painful chord. A source noted the Oscar-winning actor was “totally devastated” by the gesture. “When Vivienne dropped Pitt from her name, he got the message loud and clear,” the insider said.

Brad Pitt has filed a motion compelling ex-wife Angelina Jolie to turn over all private communications related to the sale of her stake in their French wine business. The exes have been embroiled in a years-long legal battle since 2022 over Jolie’s alleged “secret” sale of her shares of their winery, Château Miraval, to alcohol company Stoli Group.
