Angelia Jolie and Brad Pitt’s son Pax Jolie-Pitt has reportedly been hospitalised following a bike crash earlier this week.
As per TMZ, the 20-year-old was riding his electric bike in Los Angeles, California when he reportedly crashed into the back of a car.
The outlet reported that he was taken to hospital with head injuries after the accident, which took place on Los Feliz Boulevard in LA. It is said that he was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
Sources later told TMZ that Pax was in a stable condition after being hospitalised. It is not yet clear when he will be discharged.
NME has reached out to representatives of Jolie and Pitt for comment.
In recent news, Jolie and Pitt’s daughter Shiloh revealed the “painful events” that led to her recent name change.
Shiloh, who is the third-eldest child of the former Hollywood couple, applied for a name change on her 18th birthday this year (May 27). She filed the petition at the Los Angeles County Superior Court and as per law in California, publicly announced her decision to make the name change in a legal notice in the Los Angeles Times.
According to the petition (via The Los Angeles Times), she wants to be known as Shiloh Nouvel Jolie going forwards.
It came after two of Pitt and Jolie’s other children appeared to have distanced themselves from Pitt’s name, with eldest daughter Zahara introducing herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie” in an Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority video (via Essence). Daughter Vivienne also recently dropped the name Pitt from a credit in Playbill for Broadway’s The Outsiders, according to People.
In a new statement, Shiloh’s lawyer, Peter Levine, spoke about the “significant decision” to change her name.
He said: “The media should be more careful in their reporting…especially when covering a young adult who has made an independent and significant decision following painful events, and is merely following legal process.”
He continued: “Shiloh Jolie did not take out an ‘ad’ announcing any name change, and any press reporting that is inaccurate. As Shiloh’s attorney, I am required to publish a legal notice because the law in California requires that of anyone who wants to change their name. That legal notice was published in the Los Angeles Times, as is required.”
t comes amid Pitt and Jolie’s ongoing divorce proceedings. Jolie filed for divorce in 2016 following an alleged physical altercation on a private plane, with one of their children, Maddix, allegedly involved in the incident.
Pitt was subject to a “child abuse investigation” in relation to the alleged incident, with the Los Angeles Department of Child and Family Services later clearing the actor of wrongdoing.
Details of the alleged altercation came to light further in 2022 after Jolie was revealed to be the plaintiff in an anonymous complaint against the FBI, which had closed an investigation into Pitt’s alleged domestic assault. Pitt has denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
