Pitt, who turns 61 on December 18, shares six children with ex-wife Angelina Jolie: Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. The former couple split in 2016 and are still hashing out their divorce.

As OK! previously reported, the Fight Club star has been working to repair his image following his messy split from Jolie.

"Brad is a powerful person and sometimes has a patronizing edge," a source told Star.

“He wants to come across as a serious, stable guy, and having Ines around certainly reinforces that,” the insider added, referring to Pitt's girlfriend, 31-year-old jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, whom he started dating in late 2022.
