He's been embroiled in a nasty custody battle for his six children with his estranged wife, Angelina Jolie.

But Brad Pitt's mind is always on his kids and he didn't forget them when he held a private party at Hotel Casa Del Mar in Santa Monica, last Wednesday.

The 53-year-old actor left with a big bunch of helium-filled gold and white balloons for them that bobbed in the air as his assistants tried to get them into the back of his SUV.

At 15, son Maddox may be a bit old for balloons. But son Pax, 13, daughters Zahara, 11, and Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twins son Knox and daughter Vivienne will likely enjoy them,

The celebrity's assistants were also spotted carrying a few bottles of bubbly and wine to his car before he drove away.

'Brad had an intimate party in one of the rooms,' a source told Us Weekly on Tuesday. 'He spent the night at the hotel and left in the morning with a big gold and white balloon arrangement that he wanted to take home for his kids.

'They brought out a few bottles of red wine and Perrier-Jouet champagne and loaded it into Brad’s car in the morning as he was leaving,' the source added. 'He was very private and exited out the side door of the hotel.'

After largely laying low since Angelina, 41, filed for divorce on September 19, the Fight Club star has slowly started to go out agaain. And he's taking better care of himself

'He’s exercising,' a close Brad source previously told Us Weekly. 'He’s been outdoors a lot, hiking and walking. He’s had a lot of time to focus on himself.'

Another insider added: 'He does a lot of weight training. He’s dedicated to clean living and eating right.'

The private party comes following Brad's surprise appearance at a charity event in Malibu with Sting and Chris Cornell on January 14.

He was also among presenters at the Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills on January 8.

Meanwhile, Brad and Angelina recently came to an agreement to handle their divorce out of the spotlight by using a private judge.

She filed for divorce in September after two years of marriage and 12 years together. They became close while filming 2005's Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
