The latest thing to come out of this brutal 'Brangelina' divorce is that the actor apparently does not speak to his children.
Brad Pitt allegedly has 'virtually no contact' with his adult kids but has visitation rights with the younger children, all of which he shares with ex-wife, Angelina Jolie.
Just last month, it emerged that their daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt filed to the courts to change her name to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie - dropping Pitt.

While it remains undisclosed as to why she made the bold move to lose her second barrel from her name, she approached the courts to do so on her 18th birthday - the first day she was legally able to.
A huge blow to the three-time Oscar winning actor, but it is just one of a long-list of family issues to be made public on the back of the pair's now eight-year divorce.
Yes, it has been an absolute monster of a divorce with the two having filed for it in 2016.
Jolie claims Pitt was physically abusive to her in front of their children on a private flight from France to California, and so she claimed the divorce was to protect her children.
However, the latest thing to come out of the bitter break-up is that sources close to People magazine have claimed the two-time Golden Globe winning actor has 'virtually no contact' with some of his kids.
They said: "He has virtually no contact with the adult kids. His engagement with the younger kids is more limited in recent months because of his filming schedule."
According to the source, he has a custody agreement to contact their younger children.
The couple share six kids. The eldest is 22-year-old Maddox, Pax is 20, the third eldest is 19-year-old Zahara, then of course Shiloh is 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne are both aged 15.
The source said: "[Angelina] has the kids most of the time, but per their agreement, he has visitation with the younger kids."
While they also told the magazine that it pains Brad to be reminded that he has 'lost his children'.
They added: “He’s aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name.
"The reminders that he’s lost his children, is of course not easy for Brad. He loves his children and misses them. It’s very sad."
UNILAD has contacted Brad Pitt's representatives for comment on the reports that he has 'virtually no contact' with his adult kids.
