Those who are in their inner circle don't talk about them. Period. Statements are usually just one sentence or phrase.  So the chatty "insider" in People immediately raised red flags as a bogus source.  Offering lengthy motherhood statements that reveal the verbose "source" doesn't have anything to say.
"He plans to have a low-key birthday. Just sort of hanging out," an insider tells PEOPLE.
"He's staying low-key in general. That's really the kind of guy he is anyway," the source says, adding that since his birthday is at the end of the year, "it's a natural time for reflection for him."
"It was a challenging year for everybody with COVID and filming amidst that," says the source, adding that the actor is looking forward to 2022.
Pitt is "trying to stay positive and think about next steps and look ahead and hopefully have an even more positive year,"
"The situation with the kids is still a difficult situation," says the source. "It sucks. It is what it is. His kids matter the most to him. But there are just processes you have to go through." 
"He is genuinely beloved," the insider says. "People really like him, and he does have a strong circle supporting him."
