Jon Voight Back 'In Touch' With Angelina Jolie
Jon Voight and Angelina Jolie have buried the hatchet.
Voight, 70, confirms to Us Weekly that he is back in contact with his formerly estranged daughter. "We're in touch, but not regularly. We love each other and that's the most important thing."
See how Angelina has changed over the years
Jolie, 34, cut ties with her father in 2001 after Voight used the media to beg Jolie to get help for her "serious mental problems." She legally dropped her father's last name in 2002.
A family friend tells the magazine that the actress "met face-to-face" with her father in February with encouragement from Brad Pitt -- and has been in contact with him ever since.

"Angie made the initial contact," the friend reveals, adding, "Brad has been supportive -- a key factor in her reaching out."
After the birth of Jolie's twins in 2008, Voight told reporters that he'd jump at the chance to see her children if invited. "If they call me, I'm going to find a way," Jon said.

I was thrilled to hear about Anjelina and her Dad reconnecting after all this time. It was especially heartwarming that Brad Pitt was an encouraging part of this. I have been estranged from my daughter for 10 years(her choice,not mine)and it is one of the most devastating experiences a parent can endure.The “emotional abuse excuse” seems to be the norm today in relationship issues and anyone that thinks this is okay cannot be a parent. The previous person, James Mac, who commented if he does have children better start praying now that they don’t feel that way about him because he’ll experience pain he never knew was possible.
