After reportedly claiming their relationship now appears to be unfixable, Brad Pitt spent Father’s Day 3,000 miles away from his children.

The film legend is said to have cut ties with two of the kids he shares with ex-wife Angelina Jolie following the A Listers’ bitter divorce. A series of disputes over custody and business interests followed the end of their marriage as tensions remain high.

Brad was in New York this weekend, while the majority of the former golden couple’s kids live in Los Angeles. The 61-year-old showed off his buzz cut as he promoted his new F1 film around the world with girlfriend Ines de Ramon not far from his side.

Brad and Angelina share a brood of six: Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, both 16. However, Brad has a strained relationship with Pax, who once called him a ‘world-class a**hole’. After Pax was pictured stumbling out of the Chateau Marmont with pals last month, a source close to Brad claimed the actor was no longer concerned with “what Pax does or doesn’t do”.

“Brad honestly considers his relationship with Pax unfixable,” they to the Mail. He is seemingly ready to cut ties with one more child while holding out hope for the remaining children. Meanwhile, a source claimed that Brad doesn’t appear to be planning to reach out to either of his sons, saying he has “nothing to say about either of them.”

The Fight Club actor and Angelina, 50, tied the knot it 2014 after a whirlwind romance that started on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith back in 2005. The pair, once considered a golden couple of Hollywood, parted ways in 2016, sparking a high-profile split that saw Angelina file for divorce in the same year.

Shiloh, 19, legally changed her surname last year when she turned 18 to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie, dropping the ‘Pitt’. Meanwhile, at least three of the other four kids have informally dropped Brad’s surname. Many of the children seem to have a strained relationship with Brad as their other son, Maddox, was allegedly involved in a physical confrontation with the actor on a private jet in 2016.

When asked about his relationship with his dad, he told In Touch Weekly in 2019: “Whatever happens, happens.” But concerns have been raised that the children don’t have too much family to turn to, as Angelina is estranged from her brother and has no nieces or nephews.

Prince Harry sends ‘bold message’ to royals in personal Archie and Lilibet video

In tribute to Prince Harry on Father’s Day, Meghan Markle shared a video of heartwarming family moments over the years – but there’s a strong message hidden in the montage according to an expert

Meghan Markle has shared never-before-seen footage of her children to mark Father’s Day – and one expert believes it points to a new strategy for the Sussexes.

The Duchess of Sussex shared an incredibly personal video montage of Prince Harry with their two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The compilation featured various photos and videos of the Duke of Sussex with his kids over the years, marking a notable shift from the couple’s previous stance of keeping their children’s faces completely out of the public eye.

The Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram shortly before midnight UK time to share the video, which was set to the song Have It All by Jason Mraz. Meghan added the caption: “The best. Happy Father’s Day to our favorite guy”, as heartwarming montage was played out of Harry with Archie, six, and Lilibet, four.

Special intimate moments are shown including footage of Archie and Lilibet as babies, while other clips showed Harry running around outside with them, dancing in the kitchen, at the beach, and during various other family days out.

The clip comes just days after Meghan shared another personal video of her twerking while in labour. Reacting to the new video, body language expert Judi James has revealed a striking contrast between Meghan’s Father’s Day post and Princess Kate’s – and says there’s a hidden message for Archie and Lilibet.

“The basic display tone of this video, that is a narrative of clips of Harry being a father, is very different to the one the UK royals tend to use for their Father’s Day poses,” Judi told the Mirror.

She explained: “With William and his children, Kate is very present, holding the camera. The children and often William tend to look into the camera to signal firstly inclusion of Kate but secondly their sense of having a public role too.

“Meghan’s films suggest she is admiring her husband from a distance here. The sense of strong love is present, but it’s also a reflective presence as though she’s wanting to show how Harry reacts naturally with their children, almost when ‘nobody is watching’. It’s the kind of event many mothers experience when they look out of the window to watch their husband playing with the children and reflect on how good a father they are.”

Judi continued: “This is a whole cinematic-looking narrative, too. Unlike the rather basic filming of her pregnancy twerking, this is glossy and idealistic, using lighting and filming techniques to make it look like movie class. It often feels like you’re watching the opening credits of a show like Succession where they mock up historic-looking home movies to bring the family up to the present day.

“There’s the technicolour technique at the start and end, which is similar to the Enid Blyton style colouring they once used on their Xmas cards. There’s soft focus for the babies, then a more Vogue-style lighting and filming as Harry walks with his kids as they get older.”

Sharing her thoughts on how the father-of-two is represented amid his ongoing public feud with his family, the expert shared: “Harry is shown being a tender, tactile and often playful dad who is very involved in teaching his children as they grow.

And one theme which runs throughout the clip could be seen as a message to the royals as Harry’s fight for protection and security for his children while visiting the UK rumbles on. “There is also a very strong message of freedom for the children and Harry here, too,” Judi notes. “There is a lot of running and walking away from the camera to continue to reject a more public profile but it’s the recurring theme of the bare feet too.”

Judi added: “With both Harry and his children walking in bare feet, the symbolic reference is to a free life but also to a wealthy one, as walking barefoot on public streets and parks tends to be a dangerous pastime. On your own estate, though, it’s clearly just fine.”

The Father’s Day post is part of a growing trend of Meghan sharing more intimate moments from their family life on social media. Just last week, she posted a video of the family’s fun-filled day at Disneyland to celebrate Princess Lilibet’s fourth birthday.

It comes as Harry and Meghan recently gave their PR team the boot, making huge changes to how they run their internal communications. They have now hired Method Communications, who claim they are “disruptors” who “challenge the status quo”.

Following the quiet end of their long-running marriage, Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen have finalised their divorce and it looks as though the Australian actress is embracing her single life already

Just days after finalising her divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen, Isla Fisher has posted a very playful Instagram story featuring three shirtless firefighters cuddling puppies.

The muscled trio, dressed only in yellow fire pants, flashed grins, and abs at the camera. In the caption, Isla, 49, cheekily penned: “Look at those cute puppies,” as many saw it as a nod to her newly single status.

Isla and her now ex-husband Baron Cohen officially ended their £120 million divorce on Friday. The former couple shared identical messages online: “Our divorce has now been finalised. We are proud of all we’ve achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children. We ask for the media to continue to respect our children’s privacy.”

The pair had quietly split in 2023 after over two decades together, later announcing their breakup in April 2024 with a humorous photo of themselves in tennis whites. The accompanying caption read: “After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down.

“We have always prioritized our privacy and have been quietly working through this change. We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family’s wish for privacy.”

They first crossed paths at a Sydney party in 2001. Reflecting on their first meeting, Baron Cohen said: “We were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people at the party. I knew instantly. I don’t know if she did.”

Though once seen as one of Hollywood’s most enduring couples, they’ve now parted on peaceful terms. A source close to them noted: “It’s all sorted. Now Sacha and Isla both just want to get on with the rest of their lives – and focus on their family’s well-being.”

When speaking about her separation in a recent interview, Isla said: “I’ve learned so much about myself in the process. I never imagined my family being separated, but we are committed and loving parents.”

She told the Sunday Times: “Kids are the most important thing, and you want them to really feel safe and loved. We are building a new, healthy version of what our family looks like and putting as much care and love into it as possible.”

But it looks as though Isla has a good network of friends around her to help with the transition of being married to being single. She went on to explain: “The women in my life have held me … the female relationships that I cultivated in our business, those women have been there for me. I’m actually going to get emotional.”

“I’m sitting here today because of them. I’ve learned so much about the power of female friendship and I’ve just learned that I do have resilience, who I am outside of a partnership, and what my values are. It’s been this expansive learning curve,” she added.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ children paid tribute to the rapper on Father’s Day while he remains jailed at MDC Brooklyn as his ongoing trial continues.

He was arrested in September and strongly denies all allegations made against him. He has been in prison since his arrest, and a number of bail requests have been rejected.

Diddy is a father to seven children from four different women, including Quincy, 33, Justin, 30, Christian ‘King’, 27, Chance, 18, twins D’Lila and Jessie, 18, and the youngest is two-year-old Love Sean.

Love shared a message on her account which read: “Happy Dada Day!”, while Justin shared a statement, writing that he will remain loyal to his dad ‘no matter what’.

Justin has previously spoken out about his support for his dad and said he would support him ‘every step of the way’.

Justin shared a family photo back in October along with a caption that read: “The past month has devastated our family. Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media.”

He added: “We stand united, supporting you every step of the way. We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU DAD.”

Chance also shared his love and support for his dad on Father’s Day, writing; “Missing you today on Fathers Day. my love for you is beyond! Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and miss you. I’m forever grateful for all the beautiful moments we shared. I miss you so much and love you and can’t wait to hug you.”

Diddy had a sex abuse case Cassie filed against him in 2023, which was quickly settled, before he had multiple properties raided in March 2024. In September 2024 he was arrested and has been in custardy ever since.

On his latest day on the trail, Diddy was supported by fellow musician Kanye West. He entered the courthouse on Friday, June 13 wearing an all-white outfit, while accompanied by two security guards. However, he left after just 40 minutes after telling reporters he was supporting the disgraced star.

Determined not to let their love lives interfere with Soccer Aid, Sam Thompson and Louis Tomlinson kept their distance as the teams arrived back at their hotel after the match

Sam Thompson and Louis Tomlinson arrived back at the Soccer Aid hotel minutes apart after having narrowly avoided an awkward on-pitch reunion.

The pair have been together at the star-studded game, despite the One Direction star, 33, now dating Sam’s ex, Zara McDermott, 28. They kept their distance and tensions appeared to had relaxed when TV presenter Sam withdrew from the game injured – before a sudden recovery saw him player the final few minutes.

Louis was already subbed off when Sam entered Old Trafford pitch, but they had trained together before and also couldn’t miss each other during the day. Former Made In Chelsea star Sam and Zara broke up late last year before she moved on with One Direction singer Louis. It was said Sam was ‘blindsided’ by the move and appeared to make a sly dig at his ex while discussing his love life.

They were both seen arriving back at the team hotel following the charity match, which raised over £15million for UNICEF. It was agony for the pair after The Rest Of The World won the game 4-3, former Manchester United star Carlos Tevez inspiring an incredible turn around.

Sam, who risked playing after picking up a torn calf, arrived back in a grey tracksuit with Louis still wearing his SoccerAid outfit. The team-mates were spotted getting off the coach surrounded by Maisie Adams, Robbie Keane and Jermain Defoe as fans lined up to welcome them back to the hotel.

They were both determined not to let their love lives interfere with the day and held a ‘peace dinner’ before the charity match, according to reports. A source told the Sun: “There is no beef between the pair. They are fully aware that their every move is being scrutinised and they’ve broken bread with their teammates, so it’ll be smooth sailing on the day.”

Chatting to pal Pete Wicks, Sam hinted that Zara may have moved on too soon. He said: “I suppose a lot of people look for validation in other people right? And they look for the next person instantly because it’s like ‘I need to find someone else to fill that hole and I need to find that excitement.'”

Discussing how he was asked about coming face to face with Louis at Soccer Aid, he told Pete in a recent chat: “At the end of the interview, he goes, ‘Look mate, I’ve got to ask the question that everyone wants to know. This is sort of the big question really, the elephant in the room, What’s it going to be like with you and Louis? Obviously he’s doing Soccer Aid too.'”

Sam added: “Mate, you should have seen the room, everybody, it was a silent then everyone goes ‘Woah, Woah Woah, end the call! End the call!’ and I have just gone ‘No, no guys, I’ve got this, I’ve got this.’ I held my hands up to say just relax. I think I did alright and I meant everything I said as well, that it’s not about me or Louis or who anyone is dating, it’s f**king Unicef and charity and everyone is going to be there for the exact same reason.”

Nicola Peltz snubbed David Beckham on Father’s Day amid her husband’s sad feud with the former footballer. Brooklyn, 26, made no mention of David, 50, on Sunday, despite the newly appointed Sir posting snaps of his firstborn, ‘Buster,’ telling him he loved him and would ‘be there no matter what’.

Billionaire heiress, Nicola, 30, who has found herself at the centre of the family’s feud after swerving David’s 50 birthday last month with her husband, also made no mention of her father-in-law. However, she did pay a gushing tribute to her dad, Nelson, calling him the “greatest dad in the world”.

Sharing a photo of the pair on Instagram, she wrote: “Happy Father’s Day to the greatest dad in the world. I am so lucky to be your daughter I love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for always being my constant support I love you beyond words. Happy Father’s Day dad.”

It comes after David paid a heartfelt tribute to Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, sharing a snap of them all together and appearing to hint at his feud with Brooklyn.

Captioning the photo, he said: “My most important and favourite job in life is being a dad… I’m so proud of all of you and like daddy ( sorry boys ) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what…

“Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad… Happy Father’s Day… I love you kiddies more than you could imagine.”

He also shared a snap of him and Brooklyn, quaffing red wine, with the caption: “I love you @brooklynpeltzbeckham.”

Victoria also praised Brooklyn and his siblings, posting: “Happy Father’s Day Sir @DavidBeckham!!! Happy Father’s Day to the best daddy there is! You always lead with love and our four beautiful children are a reflection of that. We all love you so much.”

However, Brooklyn stayed silent after failing to acknowledge his dad’s longed-for knighthood, which was bestowed upon the England star by King Charles last week.

In another show of loyalty to his wife, the wannabe chef also posted a photo of one of his many tattoos, which is a replica of a note Nicola wrote him before they got married.

It reads: “My forever boy. Read this anytime you feel anxious. I want you to know how deeply loved you are. You have the kindest heart I’ve ever met and hope I never go a day without your love.

“I think you are so incredible. Just know we can get through it all together if you breathe slow and trust. I love you beyond. Love always, your future wifey.”

Brooklyn also told the Transformers actress he would ‘always choose’ her as he captioned a snap of the pair astride a motorbike, hinting that, for now, he doesn’t appear to be ready to make peace with his parents.
