Brad Pitt is really making an effort to be involved in his son Pax’s life, especially after another car accident involving the 21-year-old. The actor and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie wrapped up their eight-year divorce settlement last December, starting the new year on a clean slate. However, they’re still caught up in a lengthy legal battle over their former joint property, the French winery Chateau Miraval.

Despite the ongoing drama, Pitt, who has been somewhat distant from most of their six kids (Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16), is reportedly trying to reach out to Jolie. He wants to provide a “steadying influence” in Pax’s life during this tough time.

It seems like Brad Pitt is really eager to reconnect with his kids

They finally wrapped up their divorce in December after eight long years of fighting, and now Brad is eager to reconnect with his kids, a source shared with RadarOnline.com.

Pitt is really anxious about his troubled son, who’s been in three car accidents this year, fearing he might seriously hurt himself if things don’t change. Another insider mentioned that Brad thinks if he had been given shared custody, things would have turned out much better, especially since he felt completely disconnected from his son during those important teenage years.

Close friends are really concerned about Pax after a series of accidents

On January 24, Pax had another e-bike accident, marking his third one in just eight months. The 21-year-old was reportedly cruising through the streets of Los Angeles without using his hands when he took a turn and collided with a car. This happened only six months after he was hospitalized due to injuries from a prior crash.

A source had earlier told Page Six, “His friends are really worried about him. He’s acting recklessly. They’re concerned.” People close to him are also troubled by his habit of not wearing a helmet, even after all the accidents he’s been through.

Brad Pitt reaching out to Angelina Jolie for help

A source from RadarOnline mentioned that it’s really important for him to have his dad around during times like these.

“They said Pax really needed a solid male role model, but Brad wasn’t allowed to step into that position,” the insider shared. Even though he feels the weight of missing out on so many key moments with his kids, Pitt is set on making things better before it’s too late. Still, he’s going to need Angelina’s help to bridge that gap.”

Brad Pitt's children have been distant from him ever since his breakup with Angelina Jolie in 2016

Several of the Jolie-Pitt kids have taken significant steps to publicly distance themselves from their dad's last name, even if they haven't done it legally yet.

A report from early January mentioned that the kids want Angelina Jolie to “speak up for herself and defend her position over the years,” but she encourages them to focus on changing laws instead of sharing their stories with the public, as noted by PEOPLE.

Documents from 2018 revealed that Jolie risked losing primary custody if she didn’t make a genuine effort to help her kids bond with their father. The custody trial ended with the judge granting Pitt 50-50 custody, according to sources close to the actor. However, the appeals court later disqualified the private judge in charge of the case, meaning the ruling never took effect.
