Hollywood icon, Brad Pitt is mourning the death of his beloved mother, Jane Pitt, who passed away at the age of 84. Though Brad is one of the most commonly recognised faces in Hollywood, who has had an illustrious career and won multiple Academy Awards, he always had a humble side, thanks to his Midwestern roots and his mom, Jane. Despite staying away from the public eye, Brad has often mentioned how his parents always guided him to follow his heart.
Just a few weeks ago, in June 2025, Brad attended the screening of his latest film, F1, where he took the opportunity to express gratitude towards his mom and shouted at the red carpet, “Love you, Mom.” While Brad and the Pitt family are going through a tough time, here’s everything to know about Jane Pitt.
Who was Brad Pitt’s mother, Jane Pitt?
Jane Pitt was a retired school counsellor who led a quiet and dignified life in Springfield, Missouri, far away from the glitzy world of Hollywood. According to the Oklahoma Historical Society, she met William Pitt at the Oklahoma Baptist University and tied the knot six decades ago in 1962. They welcomed three kids, with Brad, 61, being the eldest. Although the actor became immensely successful in showbiz, Jane remained humble and focused on her family and community in the same town.
