Celebrity Parents That Are Estranged From Their Children

Brad Pitt

Celebrity families are the envy of society. These guys mainly make up the largest segment of nouveau riche not just in the United States, but across the globe. With such a reputation, you would expect these families to live happy and contented lives with their wealth and status in society. Unfortunately, peace of mind is often hard to come by even for celebrities. Most times, this is disrupted by their flesh and blood. These 45 celebs are excellent examples of how money and fame don’t necessarily guarantee a happy family.

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt and Maddox had a stable relationship until the two found themselves in disagreement while they were on a private plane traveling to Los Angeles in 2016. Pitt is said to have gotten physical after Maddox stepped in to defend his mother.

Maddox later moved to South Korea for college, and while he said the relationship hadn’t improved, he did mention he was open to reconciliation. Pitt and Maddox are rumored to have met in January when Maddox was home for the holidays, but the details of their encounter are unconfirmed.

Demi Moore

When Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore broke up back in 2013, Moore fought very openly with the end of her marriage. It was after this when she started to act erratically, which was too much for her daughter, Rumor Willis to handle.

After some time, Rumor Willis stepped away from her own mother while she worked through her personal issues for a while. Luckily they reconciled and seem to have mended their relationship since.

Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise is not allowed to have a relationship with Suri, the daughter he had with ex-wife Katie Holmes, due to his affiliation with the Church of Scientology. The two haven’t been spotted together in over 6 years.

Because Suri isn’t a Scientologist, Cruise is forbidden from having a relationship with her. The Mission: Impossible star still has a close relationship with his older children from his former marriage to Nicole Kidman because Isabella and Connor are both Scientologists.

Billy Ray Cyrus

Billy Ray Cyrus is estranged from his daughter Miley Cyrus. Most of the tension between the two began when Billy Rae divorced Miley’s mother, Tish, and proposed to his fiancé, Firerose. Miley has since stood beside her mother, who recently announced her own engagement.

Billy expressed his concern for the well-being of his daughter and wished he could erase everything that happened in a second. At some point, Billy even defended Miley’s ex-boyfriend Patrick Schwarzenegger when he was accused of cheating. Ray Cyrus once told GQ, “Damn show destroyed my whole family.”
