Why Brad Pitt plans to 'dump America,' move to Europe
Amid a challenging divorce from Angelina Jolie and strained relationships with his children, actor Brad Pitt is reportedly contemplating a significant lifestyle shift, reported Life & Style. Sources indicate that Pitt is considering leaving Hollywood to establish residence in Europe. His close friend, George Clooney, who already resides in Europe, is supportive of this idea. This move would allow the actor to distance himself from the difficulties he's currently facing in the United States.
Pitt's new relationship and possible engagement
Pitt, currently dating Ines De Ramon, a jewelry executive, recently made their relationship public at the Venice Film Festival. There are rumors that Pitt may be planning to propose soon. According to Life & Style magazine, an anonymous source revealed that none of his children want anything to do with him and this was reportedly the sole reason he had stayed in Hollywood.
Pitt's struggles with family connections in LA
Pitt has long considered Los Angeles his home, where his production company is based and where he owns significant real estate. The actor believed it was the best place to connect with his children and provide them stability. However, an insider revealed to Life & Style that Pitt is rarely able to see his children these days, a situation they described as "heartbreaking for him."
Pitt's children opt for mother's surname amid divorce
Multiple reports suggest that Pitt was left 'heartbroken' and 'extremely blindsided' when his children with Jolie began dropping his last name in favor of their mother's surname. This change occurred amid the couple's contentious divorce and legal battles. The most significant blow came when Shiloh, Pitt's biological child with Jolie, decided to change her surname upon turning 18. Pitt reportedly believes "Angie has slowly but surely turned their children against him."
Pitt sells family home, 'haunted by memories'
Pitt, reportedly heartbroken by the growing distance between him and his children, has sold the home where he raised them. The insider shared that Pitt is "still haunted by being so close to them and yet so far," adding that he believes a change of scenery might do him good until the kids want to spend time with him again.
Clooney encourages Pitt's potential move to Europe
Clooney is enthusiastic about the benefits of living there and has managed to get Pitt interested in starting a movie production company abroad. This move could mark a significant shift in Pitt's life and career as he navigates his personal challenges. According to sources, "Brad loves France and Italy and has spent a lot of time in the U.K. as well, so the whole idea of dumping his life in America for a fresh start is beyond appealing."
