Angelina Jolie has apparently reconciled with her father Jon Voight after eight years of estrangement.
 
Ange had cut her father out of her life in 2001 after he publicly voiced concerns about her mental health shortly before she adopted son Maddox from Cambodia.
 
Since then Jon has made numerous attempts to mend his fractured relationship with his daughter, even sending the actress a copy of their forgotten 1982 comedy Lookin' To Get Out as an olive branch after the movie was released on DVD for the first time.
 
And, at last, the veteran actor’s efforts have paid off and the pair are now in contact, although Jon admits they don't talk as frequently as he would have liked.
 
He tells Us Weekly magazine, "We're in touch, but not regularly. We love each other and that's the most important thing."
 
A close friend of Ange’s adds it was her partner Brad Pitt who encouraged her to reunite with her movie star father.
 
The insider says, "Angie made the initial contact. Brad has been supportive - a key factor in her reaching out."

Considering Brad’s mutterings about Ange’s desire to adopt even more children, she may very well need all the support she can get from family and friends if the latest adoption attempt goes through…
