Brad Pitt ‘aware and upset’ daughter Shiloh has filed to legally drop his last name

Brad Pitt ‘aware and upset’ daughter Shiloh has filed to legally drop his last name
Brad Pitt is reportedly ‘aware’ of his daughter Shiloh’s intention to change her surname, according to recent reports.

Pitt shares six children with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie, whom he was with for 12 years, two of which they were married. The Mr. & Mrs. Smith stars, who met on the set of the 2004 movie while Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston, have three biological children: Shiloh, 18, and 15-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. They are also parents to three adopted children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, and Zahara, 19.

In the wake of his divorce from Jolie, Pitt is reported to have become estranged from his children. This estrangement is so profound that Shiloh now wants to drop Pitt from her name. Last month, it was reported that the 18-year-old had submitted a request for a legal name change and wants to go by Shiloh Jolie. The request was submitted on Shiloh’s 18th birthday, May 27, according to TMZ.

He’s never felt more joy than when she was born. He always wanted a daughter,” a source told PEOPLE. “The reminders that he’s lost his children are, of course, not easy for Brad. He loves his children and misses them. It’s very sad.”

Despite the situation with his children, the actor is reportedly ‘still happy’ with his girlfriend, Ines De Ramon, whom Pitt was first linked to in late 2022. De Ramon was previously married to Vampire Diaries actor Paul Wesley, but the pair separated in September 2022, with Wesley filing for divorce in February 2023.

Another source told the publication that the Bullet Train star ‘still loves all of his kids tremendously’, adding, “This whole process has been very hard for the whole family.”

Additionally, Pitt and Jolie’s daughter Vivienne also seems to have dropped Pitt from her name. The 15-year-old helped her mom produce the new musical, The Outsiders, and was listed as Vivienne Jolie in the Playbill, according to PEOPLE. It is unclear if the teen has legally applied to change her name like Shiloh.

Elsewhere, the Hollywood stars’ eldest daughter Zahara introduced herself as ‘Zahara Marley Jolie’ in a video shared by Essence last November. It remains unclear if any of Pitt and Jolie’s other children intend to drop their father’s name as well.
