The 56-year-old actor won his first acting Oscar for Best Supporting Actor on Sunday. At the end of his acceptance speech, he mentioned his children. He said. “This is for my kids who color everything I do. I adore you.”
An insider spoke with HollywoodLife exclusively. They talked about Brad’s children and their reaction to his speech. “They loved that he gave them a shout out, that was a sweet moment for everyone. The older they get the more they appreciate what incredible talents their parents are. They know they got blessed and lucky to have Brad as their dad. But at the end of the day, they’re still kids and he’s still just dad to them, not Brad Pitt the Oscar winner, they definitely keep his feet on the ground.”
When it comes to celebrating the Oscar win with his kids, it’s not number one on their list. “When Brad is with his kids his mind is on them, not himself and not his career,” the source adds. “He is solely focused on them and connecting with them where they’re at. I would be surprised if he actually had an Oscar party with them, it’s not really his style.”
The actor seemingly had some tension with his oldest son Maddox. But, the actor reportedly missed out on the BAFTA’s to sort things out with his estranged son. Maddox spoke about the issue with paparazzi in 2019. He said that he didn’t know when and if Brad would visit and, “Whatever happens, happens.”
Brad has six children with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 11
