As you might've heard, Pax Jolie-Pitt — Angelina and Brad's 20-year-old son, sustained injuries and was hospitalized on July 29 following a collision while riding an electric bike in Los Angeles.
A month later, he's making progress, and according to a source obtained by People, Pax is currently "doing OK."
"It's been a few weeks since the accident, but he's still recovering and receiving treatments," the source added.
A week after the incident, which occurred in the Los Feliz Boulevard area, a source told People that Pax was "still recovering" after he was released from an ICU ward.
"He's uncomfortable and will need further treatments. Still, he was very lucky," the source said. "It could have been much worse since he didn't wear a helmet."
Speaking of his mother, Angelina, the source said the actor was "shocked and worried when she got the call about the accident," adding that her children were "supporting Pax as best as they can."
Pax is one of Angelina and Brad's six children, along with siblings Maddox, 23, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
Following his release from the ICU, another source told People that Pax "suffered complex trauma and now begins the long road of recovery and physical therapy."
As for his father, Brad, the actor's reportedly "getting updates" about Pax's recovery, although he's reportedly estranged from his adult children, according to a source. "He hasn't had any contact with Pax in years, but he still very much cares."
For years, there's been speculation that the children are closer to Angelina than Brad amid the couple's ongoing divorce and legal battles, which began when Angelina filed to end the marriage in 2016 following an alleged incident on a private jet.
While Angelina and Brad have not spoken publicly, in detail, about Pax's recovery or the accident, the Maleficent actor shared with the Hollywood Reporter that her son was recovering.
Additionally, Angelina shared that Pax and Maddox, her eldest children, worked in the crew for her latest film, Maria, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival on Aug. 29. "They've done that quite a few times, and I think that's good for them," Angela said. "Pax tends to do stills and he gets brought in, and [director Pablo Larraín] was wonderful and recognized that he was good at it."
"When I would have really heavy times, they would come over and just give me a hug or a cup of tea," Angelina said. "Usually, when I'm expressing that much pain, it's not in front of my children. You really try to hide from your children how much pain and sadness you carry."
"So for them to be with you when you're expressing it at such a level, I think it was the first time they ever heard me cry like that," Angelina said. "That's usually for the shower."
And that's it. We're wishing Pax a speedy recovery.
