Angelina Jolie flies solo after apparently getting ‘under Brad’s skin’ by bringing their son on a red carpet outing

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, once Hollywood’s most adored couple, have continued to be at the center of public attention, even years after their separation. Though their romance and subsequent split were full of drama, it seems their post-divorce dynamic is no less intense.

In mid-November 2024, Angelina made headlines once again with a red carpet appearance at the Governors Awards, this time with her son, Knox. The duo’s striking resemblance caught the eye of many, with Knox almost looking like her twin. While their outing was framed as a mother-son bonding moment, sources suggest that there might have been another, more calculated motive behind it. According to reports, Angelina’s decision to bring Knox to this particular event was seen as an intentional move to provoke Brad Pitt, especially given the recent legal developments in their ongoing battle over the French winery, Chateau Miraval. A source told Daily Mail that Pitt found the timing of the event suspicious, considering the fact that he had just secured a win in their long-running legal dispute, and his relationship with the children has been a point of contention in the past.

While some believe that Jolie’s public outing with Knox was a deliberate attempt to get under Brad’s skin, others insist it was simply a natural choice, with Knox wanting to attend the event. The situation is complicated by the fact that their legal drama continues to unfold, with both parties heading toward a trial over their shared assets. The source mentioned that Brad feels the children’s relationship with him has been strained due to Angelina’s influence, but he remains hopeful that they will eventually reconnect with him when they are older.

After her red carpet appearance, Angelina attended the Torino Film Festival alone, opting for a minimalist look that highlighted her elegance. In an interview promoting her upcoming film Maria, a biographical film about opera singer Maria Callas, Angelina reflected on her role as a mother, emphasizing that it was the greatest love of her life.

Meanwhile, Brad Pitt’s relationship with his children is reported to be fraught with tension. The kids, who include Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne, have limited contact with Pitt’s family, though sources close to Angelina insist that she hasn’t blocked communication and encourages the kids to maintain relationships with their paternal grandparents.

The ongoing drama surrounding their family, particularly regarding their children and legal battles, continues to play out in the public eye. As their children grow older, it remains to be seen how their relationships with both parents will evolve.
