Brad Pitt's relationship with his children has become increasingly distant, especially with his adult children. The renowned actor often has visitations from his younger kids, but he has “no virtual contact” with the adult ones. The children primarily reside with their mother, Angelina Jolie, although the custody agreement allows Brad Pitt visitation rights with the younger kids. Recently, their daughter, Shiloh, made headlines by legally dropping her dad’s surname ‘Pitt’ from her name.
Custody agreement and filming schedule
According to an exclusive report by People magazine, the custody agreement permits Pitt to have meetups with his minor children. A source revealed, “He has virtually no contact with the adult kids. His engagement with the younger kids is more limited in recent months because of his filming schedule.” The 60-year-old actor is currently on location for his upcoming film F1, which has further restricted his time with his children.
Impact on Pitt and his children
The source further added, “[Angelina] has the kids most of the time, but per their agreement, he has visitation with the younger kids.” Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie share six children: Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax, and twins Knox and Vivienne. The couple got married in 2014 and parted ways in 2019. While Pitt is currently dating Ines de Ramon, Jolie is not dating anyone.
Shiloh and Vivienne dropping the Pitt surname
Pitt and Jolie’s daughter Shiloh filed documents around her 18th birthday to drop Pitt from her name, choosing to go by Shiloh Jolie. A source informed that the actor is “aware and upset" about his daughter wanting to drop his surname. The source stated back in June, “He’s aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name. 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.”
Shiloh is not the only one to drop Pitt from her name. Brad's youngest daughter, Vivienne, is following a similar path. In the Playbill of the Oscar-winning musical The Outsider, which she helped produce alongside her mother, she is registered as Vivienne Jolie instead of Vivienne Jolie-Pitt. It remains unclear if she has legally changed her name.
The strained relationship between Brad Pitt and his children highlights the complexities and challenges that come with high-profile separations. Despite the distance, it’s evident that Pitt deeply cares for his children and finds the situation difficult. As the children grow and make their own choices, the dynamics within this famous family continue to evolve.
