Brad Pitt ‘begging his twins’ to spend his 61st birthday with him and his girlfriend amid Angelina Jolie divorce

Brad Pitt turns 61 on December 18.

And DailyMail.com has learned that the Oscar-winning actor is ‘begging’ two of his six children to spend the day with him and his live-in girlfriend Ines de Ramon, 31.

“Brad loves his children and it would mean the world to have them spend his special day with him,” a source told DailyMail.com.

‘But so far it doesn’t look that great. Some kids still talk to him, some don’t. It’s very difficult.’

The former couple share three biological children — Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 — as well as their adopted children Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, and Zahara, 19.

It has been reported that Maddox and Pax are not speaking to their father, while Shiloh has gone so far as to remove Pitt from her last name. Zahara doesn’t seem to be using Pitt either.

It is believed that Knox and Vivienne are still hanging out with the Fight Club star, despite not having been photographed with him in several years.

All six children are regularly photographed with their mother Jolie and even work with her on her films, the Broadway show The Outsiders and her store Atelier Jolie.

Physical distance doesn’t appear to be an issue, as both Pitt and Jolie live within a few miles of each other in the Los Angeles area.

The source added that if the kids don’t want to see Brad, he will instead travel with his girlfriend Ines, an executive at a jewelry company.

The two live together in the same home in the Los Angeles area, People claims.

Brad’s ex Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from him in 2016 after she alleged he acted inappropriately during a flight to the US.

The two still fight over custody issues to this day as they wage war over their Chateau Miraval estate in France.

Meanwhile, Jolie is getting Oscar buzz for playing opera singer Maria Callas in the film Maria, which debuts this month.

She already has an Oscar under her belt for her role in Girl, Interrupted.

As for her fight with Brad, it doesn’t seem to be ending.

Jolie and Pitt are still embroiled in a legal dispute over Chateau Miraval, the winery they shared as a couple in the south of France.

The feud over the property stems from Angelina selling her half to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler for $62 million in 2021 during her divorce proceedings.

Pitt sued her over the sale, insisting that she was contractually obligated to obtain his consent before offloading her share of the Chateau Miraval.

Jolie has addressed her abuse allegations and custody battle during her years-long legal feud with Brad over the Chateau Miraval.

She has asked Pitt to “end the fighting” and drop the lawsuit against her at the winery so their family can have a chance to “heal.”

However, sources told DailyMail.com that Pitt has ‘no intention’ of doing so dropping the claiming that Angelina only asked him this after discovering that her case is weaker than she initially expected.

“Brad isn’t going to drop this lawsuit – why would he? This was a very standard business dispute, but unfortunately Angelina has consistently introduced personal elements meant for divorce court,” the insider said.

She is currently at the center of a swirl of dating rumors with British rapper Akala, 41, who she has been seen publicly with several times.

This comes after Jolie said she is very careful about what she shows her six children.

While at Gotham’s 34th annual Film Awards on Monday, she shared it Extras Mona Kosar Abdi that her children saw her as a vulnerable woman when she filmed Maria.

But that appears to be very rare, the 49-year-old Oscar-winning actress added.

‘I was so happy to be with them [on Maria]and they saw me absolutely terrified, which is another thing,” she said.

“You don’t usually share that much vulnerability in front of your kids, not even really crying in front of them or being scared in front of them, so they were very protective.”

In the past, she has said that when she felt pain about her Pitt split, she would only cry when she was in the shower alone.

Angelina added in her Extra interview that playing Maria Callas allowed her to face her fears.

“I was very afraid to sing and I was nervous to do things, but I also always found that as an artist you always love things that scare you because it’s a gift.”

She also said, “Ever since I was young, I have found it a true gift to be an artist.

“We are fortunate to be able to explore, in a safe place with other artists, our emotional lives and pain, and what many people feel alone and don’t have the opportunity to express in some way. I’ve always felt very happy.’

Jolie also shared what she is most grateful for after Thanksgiving: “My family’s health.”

And her children are proud of the hard work she put into Maria.

She noted, “They said they were proud of how hard I worked. You know, when they say, they don’t talk about winning an award, they don’t talk about anything, I hear them say, “She works so hard.”

“So I think that makes me very happy that they see that I work hard and that it is just fun,” said the By The Sea director.

Angelina previously revealed she spent ‘months’ preparing to sing in Maria.

The Salt actress said at the Telluride Film Festival: “I had seven months of opera lessons, great teachers and Italian lessons, and a support team that came to help me.”

Despite this, Angelina still felt apprehensive about singing when the time came to do it.

She said, “I was so nervous that morning I went crazy.”

Angelina also revealed that she enjoyed working with director Pablo Larrain.

She said, “I knew that as long as I tried my best, Pablo would be okay with it and make it work somehow. I knew I had to do my best to help solve the puzzle, but I knew he was a nice person and that he had my back and that helped.”
