Brad Pitt is not giving up hope on making things right with son Maddox and is waiting for a miracle to happen to bridge the rift.
The father-son duo had a fallout on-board a flight after which things turned sour between them.
Pitt knows there is “more work to be done” to fix his strained relationship with son Maddox Jolie-Pitt, but he “hasn’t given up hope,” an insider recently said.
“Brad thought there was some real healing and progress done with Maddox,” the source added noting that the Ad Astra star is aware how much effort is required. “Brad loves Maddox and will always be there for him and his siblings.”
Maddox recently testified against Pitt in his ongoing divorce and custody battle with Angelina Jolie.
“Of course, Brad is heartbroken [about their strained relationship],” the tipster said. “His biggest regret in all of this is the fractured relationships he’s had with all his children, but Maddox is the toughest. It’s very challenging, but he’s on good terms with all the other kids.
"That brings him joy. Brad’s parenting is 100 percent better than it was. He says it’s progress, not perfection," they concluded.
