BRAD Pitt came face-to-face with his ex Angelina Jolie's brother and father at a small gallery exhibition in Beverly Hills as the stars' never-ending divorce saga continues.
The Oscar-winning leading man, who recently turned 60, opted for a low-key date night with new girlfriend Ines de Ramon and accidentally ran straight into his former in-laws.
The U.S. Sun obtained photographs from inside the show at the Gagosian Gallery in Beverly Hills on Friday for an exhibition by his Moneyball director, Bennett Miller.
Brad was seen laughing and joking with a pal in one snap as he stood just a few feet away from Angelina's dad, Jon Voight, and brother, James Haven.
An eyewitness from the event revealed, "Plenty of people noticed how awkward it was that Brad was in the same room as Ange's family, and it's not a big space.

"I'm told James was amicable and acknowledged Brad, but I didn't see them talking, they were mostly stood apart for the duration of the event speaking with friends."
The source added there were plenty of whispers about the run-in and it's believed Brad was unaware they'd be in attendance at the popular opening.
"Britney Spears' ex Sam Asghari was also there and went up and asked for a selfie with Brad, mentioning how much the singer loved him," the source added.
"He then switched sides and went over and was seen chatting to James and Jon for a while."
DATE NIGHT
Sam shared a selfie with Brad after the event on Instagram, captioning it: "At the #bennettmiller @gagosian with some cool people last night. Also got alot of skin care tips from Brad Pitt #notwaxfigure."
Angelina has had a rocky relationship with her father, 85-year-old actor Jon Voight, over the years, who previously wished Brad well amid their divorce.
In a video obtained by The Sun, he said, "He [Brad] has had some difficulties with alcohol and I hope that he takes care of things and I pray for the guy. The kids are coping as best they can."
His son, James, is said to have been a huge support to his sister amid the divorce and often looks after the showbiz couple's three biological and three adopted children.
Speaking to "90who10" podcast co-host Jessica Entner earlier this month, he said he stood by Angelina as her personal life "unfolded in the public eye," and he altered his life to be there for her.
"That's where it all started, it started with the protection of her and her children — my nieces and nephews."

"I set my life up so I can be present with whatever the situation," he added. "I want to be there for them or for her — whatever she's going through."
Brad arrived with Ines in a black SUV and was wearing a leather brown bomber jacket with fur trim, a brown t-shirt baggy denim jeans, and dark suede boots.
CUSTODY BATTLE
His jewelry designer girlfriend, 32, looked chic in fitted leather black pants, black boots, a white tank top, and a beige knitted cardigan for her date night.
She is not believed to have chatted with Angelina's family during the event but the couple was "polite and acknowledged them."
The pair have been linked since February last year and recently celebrated his milestone birthday in Paris at the five-star Bulgari Hotel where they booked a luxury suite, according to reports.
Although a court declared Brad and Angelina legally single, their divorce is still rumbling and is yet to be finalized after she filed back in September 2016.
They are still engaged in a bitter custody battle over their six children and he has not been pictured publicly with them since the split.
In court documents, Angelina alleged Brad had a drunken altercation with their eldest son Maddox, 19, which he denied.
But he did vow to get sober after the split and spent 18 months attending sessions with Alcoholics Anonymous, according to reports.
The actor told the New York Times in 2019, "I had taken things as far as I could take it, so I removed my drinking privileges."
The Sun previously revealed Brad and Angelina have spent more than a million dollars each on the long-running court case.
