6 Celebrities Who Have Strained Relationships With Their Fathers (2 of 4)

Meghan Markle

The Duchess of Sussex has always been close to her mother, Doria Ragland, but her relationship with her father, Thomas, a retired lighting director and director of photography, is an entirely different story. In fact, in recent news, it was reported that when he was experiencing health problems in the Philippines, and asked Meghan to see him she declined. He’s generated a few controversies, such as staging photos with a paparazzi photographer for money, and for claiming, in paid interviews with the British press, that Meghan was only who she was because of him. Thomas has said that while he hopes for reconciliation someday, he does not expect her to ever see him again.

Four of Brad Pitt’s Six Kids

September 14th, 2016 is a date that lives in infamy as it marked the end of Brangelina. For it was on this day that a drunken Pitt got into an argument with Jolie, and when one of his kids—Maddox—called him a “prick” for his behavior, things escalated. Angelina filed for separation the next day and for divorce on September 19th. Although an investigation by the FBI and child protective services found no wrongdoing, it has been reported that Maddox, Pax, Zahara, and Shiloh no longer speak to their father. In fact, Shiloh made headlines when she legally dropped her dad’s surname on her 18th birthday. However, twins Vivienne and Knox still see him from time to time.
