Brad Pitt gets to see his six children privately, but the actor wants to be able to spend time with them more frequently.

A source recently told E! News that Pitt’s kids go to his house so they could bond with their father, not the other way around. Pitt doesn’t go to Angelina Jolie’s home just so he could talk to his children.

“The whole situation is still a work in progress and very sensitive. He doesn’t talk a lot about it and keeps it to himself,” the source said.

The same source added that Pitt manages to get by with the help of his friends. They have stuck with him especially after Jolie filed for divorce from the actor.

“He has surrounded himself with a tight-knit group of guy friends, most of whom are not in the industry. He has visited the Bay Area and done some traveling with his friends, but mostly he has spent time at home in Los Angeles over the last several months,” the source said.

Meanwhile, Pitt has also started casually dating a few women, but it’s nothing serious. Contrary to initial reports, Pitt doesn’t necessarily prioritize having a girlfriend. “It’s complicated for him to date and not a huge priority in his life,” another source said.

Pitt, who can be a flirty by nature, tends to hold the door for women and suggest that they go ahead of him. “He’s just that kind of person. He’s the nicest guy in the world,” the source said. As such, some women might mistake the actor’s kindness for flirting.

Page Six reported earlier this week that Pitt also uses his first name, William, when “flirting” with women. An insider overheard the actor’s conversation with a woman named Lydia.

After introducing himself as William, Lydia realized that she was talking to Pitt, so she called him Bradley. The “Ocean’s Eleven” actor laughed and left the café on his motorcycle.
