Hollywood – Brad Pitt’s ongoing legal war with ex-wife Angelina Jolie over their shared French winery, Château Miraval, is reportedly driving a deeper wedge between the actor and his children, as tensions rise behind the scenes.
Pitt and Jolie, who share six children, have been locked in a bitter legal dispute since 2021 after Jolie sold her stake in the winery to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler. Pitt later accused her of making the deal without his consent and has been fighting to have the sale reversed.
While the courtroom clash continues, insiders close to the family claim the fallout is taking a personal toll on everyone involved—especially the kids.
Jolie is said to be “emotionally exhausted”, sharing with friends that the ordeal is draining her. “It’s the last thing I need right now. I’m tired, stressed, and emotionally exhausted,” she reportedly confided. “He’s trying to drain me. The time, the energy, the money – it’s all meant to wear me down.”
Meanwhile, sources say Pitt is standing firm. To him, Château Miraval is more than a business — it’s a symbol of his legacy. “He won’t hand it over without a fight,” said a source close to the actor.
But the fierce legal fight appears to be affecting more than just business. The couple’s children are reportedly watching the dispute unfold — and many are siding with their mother.
“They’re very aware of what’s going on,” an insider revealed. “They see it as an attack on their mom, and it’s pushing them further away from Brad.”
The custody agreement currently requires Jolie to live near Pitt, a condition she has previously described as making her feel “caged.” Despite this, she is said to be ready to “fight to the bitter end if she has to.”
As the high-profile legal battle drags on, it’s not just about property anymore — it’s becoming a deeply personal clash with potential long-term effects on one of Hollywood’s most talked-about families.
