Brad Pitt is closely monitoring the recovery of his estranged son Pax Jolie-Pitt following a severe e-bike accident that landed the 20-year-old in the ICU. Despite ongoing tensions, sources close to the family reveal that Pitt is deeply concerned about Pax’s health and hopes for his full recovery.
On July 29, Pax was involved in a serious accident in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. While riding his e-bike, he rear-ended a car at a red light. Eyewitnesses initially feared the worst, with one bystander describing the scene as distressing: “His mouth was filled with blood. When he tried to speak, I saw a little tiny stream of blood coming out of his mouth,” they told Entertainment Tonight.
Pax was promptly transported to a local hospital where he was admitted to the ICU. He was diagnosed with “complex trauma,” including a major head injury, a minor brain bleed, and a hip injury. He remained in intensive care for a week before being discharged on August 5.

Angelina Jolie, Pax’s mother, rushed to his side as soon as she learned of the accident. All of Pax’s siblings also visited him during his hospital stay. The family expressed deep gratitude for the swift actions of first responders and the excellent medical care Pax received.
Pitt, who is currently in Belgium filming a Formula One-based movie, was reportedly “shocked and emotional” upon hearing about the accident. The 60-year-old actor, known for his passion for motorcycles, was particularly alarmed that Pax was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. The accident came amid a tumultuous period in Pitt and Jolie’s ongoing divorce battle.
The recovery news for Pax is positive. Sources confirm that information about Pax’s condition continues to flow to Pitt, and he remains focused on his son’s well-being. As Pax continues his recovery, Pitt’s hope is for him to “get to a good place” both physically and emotionally.
The accident occurred during a challenging time for the Jolie-Pitt family. In a related development, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, one of Pax’s siblings, recently legally dropped Pitt’s last name, now going by Shiloh Jolie. This change came after she filed a petition on her birthday in May, which a judge granted.
As Brad Pitt keeps a close watch on Pax’s progress, the focus remains on his recovery and the hope that he will fully regain his health and well-being.
