Heartbroken Brad Pitt has been forced to watch from the sidelines as estranged daughter Shiloh Jolie forges her own showbiz career – but RadarOnline.com can reveal the actor refuses to accept that their bond is broken for good.
Looking like a mini-me of mom Angelina Jolie, the 19-year-old recently appeared as a dancer in the music video for What's a Girl to Do by K-pop singer Dayoung.
Brad Heartbroken Over Shiloh Estrangement
Shiloh Jolie appeared in Dayoung's 'What's a Girl to Do' music video as Brad Pitt reflects on their estrangement.
"It's bittersweet for Brad," shared an insider. "He loves that she's following her own path and is in awe of her talent, yet it serves as this crushing reminder that he's not in her life at all."
A casualty of his bitter breakup from Angie, the duo's once-close relationship regularly consumes the actor's thoughts, admit sources, who reveal he's quietly strategizing ways to repair the devastating damage.
Shockingly, desperate dad Pitt's plans don't include throwing his ex-wife under the bus, added sources.
"He's sure Shiloh still loves him, and he's convinced one day she will allow him back in her life," dished the insider. "He's ready and waiting for that moment and will wait as long as it takes."
Family Rift Exploded After Infamous Flight
An insider said Pitt believes Shiloh still loves him and is 'ready and waiting' to rebuild their relationship.
Things fell apart in 2016 after an infamous flight from hell inspired Angelina, 50, to file for divorce.
Though Pitt, 62, managed to hold onto his visitation rights, the Tomb Raider star – who vehemently fought for sole custody during their eight-year court battle – allegedly encouraged their six kids to avoid spending time with their father.
A judge even chastised the actress for failing to foster a healthy relationship, ordering her to provide the ostracized F1 lead with his own children's phone numbers.

Angelina Jolie filed for divorce after the 2016 'flight from hell,' marking the start of Pitt's rift with his children.
She's since complained about being stuck in Los Angeles due to their custody agreement, but the contract ends once their youngest turns 18 this summer.
As soon as Shi turned 18 in 2024, she legally dropped Pitt from her last name.
"It's about as bad as it gets with Shiloh," said RadarOnline.com's insider. "She's gone no contact with him, which is very hard for Brad to come to terms with.
"He and Shiloh were so tight, and out of all the kids, she was the one who always had his back," added the insider. "Brad doesn't see how that connection can simply evaporate."
