\u201cThey just spent time together and with their mutual friends. Of course, Brad would have loved for each of his six kids to be a part of his B-day week, too. But he is dedicated to working on their strained relationships and excited about the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Bright Side<\/h2>\n
Ines has given him reason to be hopeful. The pair, who were first spotted together at a Bono show in November 2022 and packed on the PDA all night at the LACMA Art+Film Gala in L.A. a year later, on November 4, \u201care going strong,\u201d confirms a source. \u201cShe pushes Brad to follow his dreams, both personally and professionally.\u201d<\/p>\n
And there\u2019s a surprising item on his wish list, according to the insider: making peace with Angie.

(Three of the children are no longer subject to a judge\u2019s custodial decisions, having reached the age of 18.)<\/p>\n\u201cTheir court battle is finally winding down, and extending an olive branch to Angelina is the right thing to do,\u201d says the source. \u201cHis goal is to have his kids see him and Angie get along. He\u2019s putting their family first.\u201d<\/p>\n
By acknowledging his own deep scars, Brad\u2019s mused, he\u2019s at last been able to be his \u201cauthentic self.\u201d \u201cHe is always working on himself and attempting to expand his horizons,\u201d says the insider, noting that the Oscar-winning producer discovered a passion for sculpture and launched a skincare line in recent years. \u201cAt 60, Brad isn\u2019t afraid of change.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
