Brad Pitt had an ‘awkward encounter’ with his father and brother Angelina Jolie.


Actor Brad Pitt took his new girlfriend to see a photo exhibition and accidentally met relatives of his ex-wife, actress Angelina Jolie.

The chance meeting happened at the Gagosian gallery in Los Angeles on January 12. Brad Pitt and his young lover Ines de Ramon came to support Moneyball director Bennett Miller in opening a photo exhibition. Brad’s ex-father-in-law – actor Jon Voight – and Angelina’s brother – actor James Haven – also came to this event along with many artists.

A witness told The Sun : “A lot of people found it awkward when Brad was in the same room as Angelina’s family because it wasn’t a big space. James was very friendly and seemed to recognize Brad, but I didn’t see it.” They talked. They mostly stood apart during the event and talked to their friends.”

Also according to the source, Brad Pitt and his girlfriend showed politeness and quietly greeted them. The Babylon actor reportedly did not know that his ex-wife’s family would attend the opening of this exhibition.

Singer Britney Spears’ ex-husband, actor Sam Asghari, was also a guest at the exhibition. The source said, Sam went to Brad Pitt to chat , take selfies and talk about how much Britney loved Brad. Sam then walked up to Mr. Jon Voight and James Haven and “talked for a while”.

James Haven – Angelina Jolie’s only brother – recently talked about his sister in an interview in early January. On the 90who10 podcast , James said he tried to spend time with Angelina and her children after the actress divorced Brad Pitt in 2016. “That’s where it all started. I wanted to protect her and nephews and nieces”, James mentioned the brothers’ closer relationship when Jolie went through marital turmoil.

Angelina Jolie has been dating Brad Pitt since 2005, getting married in 2014. Angelina’s brother and Brad Pitt’s parents were rare guests at the wedding held at the star couple’s French estate, along with their 6 children, Maddox, Pax Thien, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne.

In September 2016, Angelina filed for divorce from Brad Pitt after a fight on a private plane from France to the US. Angelina accused Brad of being drunk and abusing his wife and children, but the actor denied it. “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” have been in a battle for child custody and property division for many years.
