Brad Pitt: Mother Jane dies at the age of 84

Hollywood star Brad Pitt (61) mourns the loss of his mother Jane, who died at the age of 84. First reported about death. A spokesman for the Oscar winner refused to comment.

Jane Pitt was a retired school consultant and, together with her husband William, a former owner of a transport company, had raised three children in Springfield, Missouri. In addition to Brad, the parents have two more children: son Doug and daughter Julie.

Pitt’s niece Sydney, his brother Doug’s daughter, paid tribute to her grandmother on Wednesday “My sweet Grammy”, she wrote, “we were not ready to let you go, but knowing that you are finally free to sing, dance and paint again makes it a little more bearable.”

The young woman described Jane as a woman with “the biggest heart”, who “was unconditionally there for everyone without asking questions”. She was able to “keep up” with all 14 grandchildren. “There were no limits to the love she gave, and everyone who met her felt that,” said Sydney.

It was only in June that Brad Pitt had made a public declaration of love for his mother. He mentioned to TV presenter Savannah Guthrie that his mother was watching the “Today Show” every day. “I have to say hello to my mum because she looks at you every morning,” he said, adding: “To Jane Pitt. I love you, mom.” He waved into the camera and sent her an air kiss.

Although Jane and William Pitt mostly stayed out of the public, they occasionally accompanied their famous son to important events. So they were at the Oscars in 2012 and in 2014 at the premiere of Angelina Jolie’s film “Unbroken”. Brad Pitt has six children with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie (50): Maddox (24), Pax (21), Zahara (20), Shiloh (19) as well as the twins Vivienne and Knox (17).
