While he's been trying to be an active co-parent to his six children, distance has made it difficult.
But Brad Pitt is now cutting down on his responsibilities so that he can spend time with his children Maddox, 17, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and 10-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
The 55-year-old superstar is reportedly freeing up some time over the summer so he can visit his children in New Mexico, where they're staying with their mother and his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, 44.

Brad hasn't been able to see his children on a regular basis since they moved to the Southwest US with their Angelina while she shoots her new thriller Those Who Wish Me Dead.
Although the Fury star is always busy, he's managed to free up a few days with the youngsters while the actress is working.
A source told Entertainment Tonight that the children have flown back to Los Angeles a few times since moving to New Mexico.
They also visit their father whenever they're back home in California.
