Angelina Jolie’s relationship with her father, Jon Voight, is clearly back on track.

The 69-year-old — who was estranged from his daughter for years — reportedly bought gifts (via an assistant, natch) for her newborn twins – Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline – and had them airlifted to France, says a source familiar with the purchase.

“The gift baskets contained products from Bunnies by the Bay: their blankets, outfits, bibs, toys and bunnies,” the source says.

According to the source, a note was included, but Voight didn’t refer to himself as “Grandpa”. It is said to have read, “Dear Vivienne and Knox — Bienvenue! xx JV.”

Jolie became estranged from her father in 2005, after Voight claimed that his daughter had “serious emotional problems” on Access Hollywood. The Tomb Raider star later indicated that she no longer wished to pursue a relationship with her father, and said, “My father and I don’t speak. I don’t hold any anger toward him. I don’t believe that somebody’s family becomes their blood. Because my son’s adopted, and families are earned.”
