As Brad Pitt’s relationship with his children continues to deteriorate amid the ongoing divorce dispute with Angelina Jolie, the actor is reportedly considering a major lifestyle change. Sources say Pitt is thinking of leaving Hollywood behind and settling in Europe, where his best friend George Clooney is already living and is supporting his idea of ​​starting a production house, which will help Pitt distance himself from the challenges he faces in the US.
Brad Pitt is ‘giving up his life in America’
Pitt, who is currently dating Ines de Ramon, a much younger jewelry executive, recently made their relationship official on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival. Rumors have it that the actor could propose anytime. According to Life & Style, a source revealed that Pitt is now thinking of leaving Hollywood because none of his children want anything to do with him. They are reportedly the only reason he stayed.

“Brad has always considered LA his home, it’s where his production company is based and he owns a lot of his real estate, plus he’s always felt it was the best place to connect with his kids and give them some stability,” the insider told the outlet. “But sadly he rarely gets to see them these days, which is very sad for him,” they added.
Brad Pitt was shocked when his kids removed his name
There have been multiple reports of Pitt being ‘heartbroken’ and ‘extremely shocked’ when his children with Angelina Jolie began dropping their last names in favor of their mother’s surname amid his nasty divorce and legal battles. The real shock came when Shiloh, his biological child with Jolie, decided to change her surname when she turned 18 this year. Shiloh’s decision was particularly painful for Pitt, who was thrilled by her birth and had always hoped for a daughter.
Vivienne, his other biological child, did the same after the change. A source said at the time, ‘He is completely devastated. Out of all his children, he was always closest to Shiloh and he didn’t even realize their relationship had changed.’ According to another source, Brad reportedly feels that “Angie has slowly but surely turned his kids against him.”
Brad Pitt ‘haunted by memories’
A source revealed that Brad Pitt, upset by the distance between him and his children, sold the house where he raised them. It was very difficult for him to let go of the good times spent there, and he felt he needed to change the world around him. “He still feels bad about being so close to his kids and yet so far away from them. Now he’s saying that maybe he needs to change the world around him, at least until he wants to spend time with them again,” the insider shared.

A new life awaits in Europe
At the same time, George Clooney, who is a great friend of Pitt’s, has been encouraging him to think about moving to Europe. Clooney has always been very enthusiastic about all the good aspects of living there and has convinced Pitt to agree with the idea of ​​starting a film production company abroad.
With few ties to Los Angeles left, Brad is now turning his attention to new opportunities. “He is reportedly hoping to reinvent himself with his current partner Ines, and is said to be on the verge of proposing marriage and settling down with her.”
“Brad loves France and Italy and has also spent a lot of time in the UK, so the whole idea of ​​leaving his life in America and starting over is extremely appealing to him.”
