Brad Pitt<\/strong><\/a> is spending tons more time in Europe these days as he hangs with close friends, including George Clooney<\/strong> and fianc\u00e9e-in-waiting Ines De Ramon<\/strong> \u2013 and a source says he\u2019s keen to put down roots there and move away from Hollywood full-time, especially now none of his kids want anything to do with him, a source exclusively tells Life & Style.<\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBrad has considered L.A. home for so long, it\u2019s where his production company is based and so much of his real estate, plus he\u2019s always felt like it was the best place to connect with his kids and give them some stability,\u201d the insider says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBut sadly, he\u2019s rarely able to see them these days, which is heartbreaking for him.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As Life & Style<\/em> previously reported<\/a>, Brad, 60, was left gutted after his daughter, Shiloh<\/strong><\/a>, petitioned an L.A. court to drop -Pitt from her last name, leaving her with just her mother\u2019s namesake: Shiloh Jolie.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cShiloh did not give her father a heads-up about her decision, and he was blindsided,\u201d a second insider previously revealed. \u201cHe\u2019s absolutely heartbroken. Of all the kids, he was always closest to Shiloh and unaware their relationship had changed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The name drop, while shocking to the Fight Club<\/em> star, is a piece in a much larger puzzle surrounding his contentious divorce from Angelina Jolie<\/strong>, who claimed he had a \u201chistory of physical abuse\u201d toward her and became violent with the kids, as well, on a 2016 plane ride.<\/span><\/p>\n The actor has denied the allegations and, according to the second source, \u201cfeels Angie has slowly but surely turned their children against him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBrad believes she absolutely influenced their decisions to distance themselves from him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Broken up, the first source says Brad even \u201csold the home he raised them in last year, because it felt so empty, and he wanted to escape the memories.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s still haunted by being so close to them and yet so far. He\u2019s now saying a change of scenery might be what his mind needs, at least until they start wanting to spend time with him again, which he hopes and prays will one day happen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n While the aging heartthrob deals with his heartache, the Troy<\/em> actor\u2019s best friend, George, 63, has got his back, telling him how great being an ocean apart would be for the A-list sad sack.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cGeorge has been raving to him about how much better living full-time in Europe is and has convinced him it\u2019s easy enough to run a production company from overseas,\u201d the insider says.<\/span><\/p>\n With little else tying him to his long-time home, L.A., Brad is turning his sights toward new horizons and hoping to reinvigorate himself with his current flame, Ines, 31, whom a source dished<\/a> Brad is just about ready to propose to and settle down with.<\/span><\/p>\n
