Hollywood star Brad Pitt is locked in a bitter family drama with his children, but that hasn’t stopped him from planning for the future.
Despite his children seemingly turning their backs on him, Brad Pitt reportedly hasn’t been turned off the idea of having more kids.
Pitt and actress Angelina Jolie share six children and his relationship with both has been fractured at best in recent years.

However, while his relationships with his family remain under heavy strain, an insider has revealed the Hollywood actor is hoping to add to his brood by having kids with his girlfriend, Ines De Ramon.
“Brad wants another chance at fatherhood,” an insider says. “He’s a different person than the first time around, an insider told US Weekly.
“He and Ines would love to have a baby together – it’s something they’re both taking seriously and he’s made it clear it’s not going to be a one-and-done situation,” an insider said.
It comes after fresh details emerged about Pitt’s drama with his daughter, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.

According to new reports, Pitt allegedly objected to his and Angelina Jolie’s daughter Shiloh testifying on her custody arrangement preferences back in 2021.
A source told Us Weekly that Shiloh, now 18, was one of the kids who wanted to testify during the hearing. She was only 14 at the time, and therefore not an adult in the eyes of the law.
Despite Shiloh’s wishes, the judge ultimately sided with Pitt and awarded him joint custody. However, a court later agreed with Jolie’s appeal to remove the judge because he hadn’t shared his business relationships with Pitt’s lawyers.
According to the insider, it was around this time that Pitt’s bond with his daughter began to “shift”.
“She [used to be] very close with Brad and his family, but that relationship [changed] in recent years,” the source said.
The impact of the shift became clear last month, when it was confirmed that Shiloh filed paperwork to legally change her name on her 18th birthday. She requested to drop her father’s surname and, instead, go by her mother’s maiden one.
Pitt was reportedly left “devastated” by Shiloh’s choice to remove mention of him from her name.
