"He hasn't had any contact with Pax in years, but he still very much cares," says the source of Pitt, 60, and his relationship with 20-year-old Pax, whom he shares with ex Angelina Jolie.
Pax was hospitalized after an accident in Los Angeles on July 29. He was reportedly riding an electric bike or scooter without a helmet when the collision happened. One eye witness recounted the aftermath and contacting 911, saying, "His mouth was filled with blood. When [he] was trying to speak, I saw a little tiny stream of blood coming out of the mouth."
Jolie also shares five other kids with Pitt: Maddox, 22, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.
The actress, 49, was "shocked and worried when she got the call about the accident," a source previously told PEOPLE, adding that the "siblings are supporting Pax as best as they can."
“Pax is still recovering. He's uncomfortable and will need further treatments. Still, he was very lucky. It could have been much worse since he didn't wear a helmet," said the source.
On Aug. 5, an additional source said that Pax had been released from the ICU. That source shared, "He suffered complex trauma, and now begins the long road of recovery and physical therapy."
Pax and Jolie "are deeply grateful for the quick and life-saving action of first responders and the outstanding medical care he received," added the source.
About Pitt's contact with his kids, an insider said in July that he has "virtually no contact" with his adult children, however, per his agreement with Jolie, "he has visitation with the younger kids."
Their divorce negotiations remain ongoing, nearly eight years after Jolie filed in 2016.
