The daughter’s decision Shiloh to legally change his surname, now that he has turned 18, would have had a strong impact on Brad Pitt: «He is destroyed by this choice. For him it is not a simple name change, but it is a symbol of profound estrangement which has been brewing for years.”
This is what an anonymous source told the magazine American US Weekly which reconstructed the difficult relationships between the American actor and his children, after the stormy separation with Angelina Jolie which occurred in 2016.
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt turned 18 at the end of May and, as also confirmed to the magazine, he made a request in court to remove his father’s surname from his, keeping only his mother’s.
She is the third of the couple’s six children to deny their paternal surname: already in recent months Zahara and Vivienne have presented themselves on public occasions only as Jolie.
All six guys seem to be on the side of his mother in the legal battle in which they are protagonists, but according to the American source, the actor “is not ready to give up on them”. Although he realizes that he currently does not have a good relationship with his children, Pitt “is very sad” and misses them.
