Jon Voight’s daughter Angelina prohibits him from seeing his grandchildren
Jon Voight is a father of two and grandfather of Angelina’s six kids. He got divorced from Angelina’s mother and left the family when Angelina was young. The truth behind their divorce is that Jon cheated on his ex-wife Marcheline. The father-of-two was an artist in residence at the University of California in Northridge. He was cast to play the role of Hamlet on the play, but he went ahead and cheated on his then-wife by hooking up with a very young actress named Stacy Pickren.

A source claims that their relationship is still rocky,
“The bottom line is that Angelina just doesn’t like Jon and sees no reason why he deserves access to the kids. He was a horrible role model, and she’ll never forgive or forget the past,”
Jon seems fond of his grandchildren though. He was spotted talking about his grandchildren very fondly,
“Shiloh, oh boy, she’s a smart one, but she’s four years old, you can never tell what she does, her face lights up. They’re all smart. Z’s smart, they’re all smart I’ll tell you. “
