Brad’s family feud

As his milestone birthday looms, Brad Pitt is hoping to heal tensions with his eldest kids – and have another child with new flame Ines de Ramon

Fans gushed that he’s “ageing like a fine wine” after Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt showed off his famously rugged good looks at a Formula One event in Las Vegas last weekend.

Swooning over the actor, who turns 60 next month, one said, “The man will always be gorgeous. Age just makes him hotter!” Another added, “He just gets better and better, you GO Brad!”

And as he prepares to celebrate his milestone birthday alongside girlfriend of one year, Ines de Ramon, 30, insiders say the star –who’s been locked in a bitter custody battle over his six children since his divorce from estranged ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, 48 –is hoping to become a dad again.

The source says, “Brad and Ines are smitten with each other and she recently moved into his Los Feliz mansion, proving how serious they are. He’s known from the outset that Ines wants to become a mum and that’s something they discussed very early on, given their 30-year age gap.

FRACTURED

“Some friends and family were surprised by Brad’s willingness to become adad again. But he insisted it was something he very much wants too, and after everything he’s been through with his children, he’s keen to make a fresh start and create new memories.

“Brad’s not getting any younger, so it’s something they would like sooner rather than later. He’s even joked about doing the school run in his 70s and hopes that he’ll still be seen as a heartthrob!"

While Brad is planning a fresh start with Ines – who is vice president of a jewellery company and divorced from Vampire Diaries actor Paul Wesley in 2022 – his fractured relationship with his ex-wife continues to make headlines.

According to latest shock reports, Brad’s son, Pax, allegedly blasted his estranged father as a “world-class a-hole” in an Instagram post on his private account on Father’s Day in 2020.

The 16-year-old’s explosive rant – which was said to have been leaked by a “friend” last week – reportedly read, “You have made the lives of those closest to me a constant hell.

“You may tell yourself and the world whatever you want, but the truth will come to light one day. So Happy Father’s Day, you f *****g awful human being.”

Brad formally adopted Pax in 2008 – a year after Angelina adopted him from an orphanage in Vietnam.

The former couple also share adopted children, Maddox, 22, and Zahara, 18, and three biological children – Shiloh, 17, and 15-ye
