Angelina Jolie’s son Pax maintains ties to dad Brad Pitt despite siblings’ estrangement
Pax Jolie-Pitt remains close with dad Brad Pitt’s side of the family.
“Pax still has a relationship with his dad’s side of the family and continues to spend time with them,” a source exclusively told Page Six. “He recently joined his family as they went out to dinner and celebrated his cousin Sydney’s engagement to Archimede Jerome.”
According to the insider, Brad’s sister Julie Pitt Neal also attended the gathering, along with his niece Reagan Pitt and numerous other close family members.
Sydney shared the exciting news in March on Instagram, captioning the post, “I said yes (duh).”
Despite Pax’s close relationship with his father’s side of the family, he “doesn’t have much of a relationship with Brad,” a second source exclusively told Page Six.
Reps for Jolie and Pitt did not respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
While Pax, 22, continues to spend time with his paternal relatives, several of his siblings have taken steps in recent years to distance themselves from the Pitt surname.
Pax’s 21-year-old sister, Zahara, recently filed paperwork seeking to legally change her name from Zahara Jolie-Pitt to Zahara Jolie.
Last month, Pax’s older brother Maddox also filed legal paperwork seeking to drop “Pitt” from his last name, citing personal reasons in court documents.
Prior to the filing, he had already begun using “Maddox Jolie” professionally, including in credits for the film, “Couture,” that he worked as an assistant director on and starred Angelina.
In May 2024, sister Shiloh successfully petitioned a Los Angeles court to legally remove “Pitt” from her last name after turning 18.
As previously reported, Knox dropped “Pitt” from his last name on his high school diploma.
The teenager, who turns 18 on July 12, used the name “Knox Jolie” on his certificate after graduating from Fusion Academy in Los Angeles earlier this month, a source exclusively told Page Six at the time.
Knox celebrated the milestone ceremony alongside the “Maleficent” star, 51; his older brother Pax; older sister Zahara, 21; and his twin sister Vivienne.
Meanwhile, Pax recently put on his game face during a charity event with the “Girl, Interrupted” actress and his sister, Shiloh, 20.
The family stepped out for an outing on Saturday at the Supper+Feed Pickleball Invitational and Game Night in Los Angeles.
The mother and son duo were photographed rushing around the court as they soaked up the sun and competed against another team.
The “Fight Club” star, 62, finalized his long-running divorce from Angelina in December 2024, bringing an end to more than eight years of legal proceedings. Angelina filed to dissolve their marriage in September 2016.
