'Friends, family, and that’s it,” he added. 'From there, we get to go make things. It’s a pretty simple, I think, equation.'

The source went on to say that the actor doesn't appear to be planning any outreach to either of his adopted sons: 'Pax and Maddox have made it abundantly clear how they feel, and Brad has nothing to say about either of them.'

As to his other children, Pitt, the source says, 'holds out hope that the others will one day come around. Time heals wounds.'

A source close to Jolie hit back at her ex husband, saying: 'Brad continues to play the victim. His fractured relationship with his children is a direct result of how he has treated them.

'He should stop blaming others. If he wants to rebuild a relationship with the kids, he should acknowledge his own actions and make amends.'
