This is the second car accident in six months, and it seems to be the turning point that made Brad Pitt reach out to Angelina Jolie for the first time in years. The children of the former couple are a serious reason to ease the tension between them.
Brad reached out to his ex-wife, hoping to be a reliable figure in the life of their 21-year-old son. Allegedly, Pitt contacted Jolie after the recent accident, wanting to reconcile for the sake of their children.
In December, they finally reached a divorce settlement, ending an 8-year-long bitter process, and now Brad is eager to reconnect with his kids. He is deeply concerned about Pax. According to a source, Brad believes that Pax needs a consistent positive influence in his life, which is why he reached out to Angelina.
There are even rumors that Brad fears Pax might harm himself in a car accident if his current lifestyle continues. As is known, Brad grew more distant from Pax and the other children after the divorce. Sources claimed that Jolie had been preventing the kids from seeing their father, but the children chose to stay with her and support her. Some even dropped their father’s last name.
Brad feels that if joint custody had been granted, the situation would have been different. During Pax’s critical teenage years, he felt completely disconnected from his father. “During this time, it is very important for a boy to have his father nearby,” added a second source.
Insiders say that despite everything, Brad Pitt still feels he can positively influence Pax, but he needs Angelina’s help to bridge the gap.
