The fact that Shiloh applied to drop Brad Pitt’s last name on his 18th birthday made the actor extremely heartbroken because his children were increasingly alienated. On the other hand, Angelina Jolie did not know anything about her daughter’s actions.

On May 31, TMZ reported that Shiloh Jolie -Pitt – the biological daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt – celebrated her 18th birthday by filing an application to remove her father’s surname “Pitt” from her name. Shiloh’s name change request was submitted on her birthday and is still approved. Sources say her new legal name, if approved, will be Shiloh Jolie.

Actor Brad Pitt is said to be very sad when his 18-year-old biological daughter, Shiloh, filed a petition in court to drop his last name and the children increasingly distanced themselves from their father. “He found out about Shiloh changing his last name and was heartbroken,” a source told People magazine. “Brad was overjoyed when Shiloh was born. He always wanted a daughter.”

The source added that being separated from his children has never been easy for Brad: “The distance from his children makes him very sad even though he is still happy with Ines (current girlfriend). Brad always loves I love and miss my children. This whole process has been really difficult for Brad and the whole family.”

According to ET, Angelina Jolie did not know that her daughter had applied to drop her father’s last name because Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself. “Angelina does not know and cannot speak about this,” the source said.

People also quoted another source saying that Shiloh changed her last name herself and hired a lawyer to help her do this legally. The source added that accusations of domestic violence against Brad Pitt were one of the reasons that prompted Shiloh to make this decision.

The removal of her father’s last name from Shiloh’s name surprised the public. Previously, the media said that Shiloh planned to move to live with her father in Los Feliz (California) after turning 18 years old. Therefore, the fact that Shiloh suddenly turned away and removed her father’s last name from her name caused a stir in public opinion. Netizens suspect that the relationship between Shiloh and her biological father is not good enough to live together or that Brad Pitt and Shiloh recently had a big conflict that affected their emotions. Currently, Brad Pitt has not commented on the above information.

Shiloh was born in 2006, the first biological daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Shiloh has a talent for dancing and currently works as a dancer. After growing up, she cut her hair short, pursuing a tomboy image. Shiloh officially turns 18 on May 27. At this milestone, she, along with her siblings Maddox, Pax Thien and Zahara, are not bound by any custody agreement. Therefore, they are not affected by the custody battle between their parents and have the right to decide their own lives.

Shiloh is not the only child of Brad Pitt to drop his father’s surname. Youngest daughter Vivienne, 15 years old, also signed up as Vivienne Jolie in the Broadway play The Outsiders, in which she worked as a production assistant, which premiered in May. Late last year, adopted daughter Zahara, 18 years old, introduced her name. The one in college is Zahara Marley Jolie.

The three daughters changed their last names after many years of Brad Pitt’s relationship with his children being considered tense. Since their divorce in 2016, Brad Pitt has never appeared publicly with any of his children. He shares 6 children with Angelina (including three adopted children, three biological children).

The insider said: “Brad has always tried to have the best relationship with his children. Things are very difficult for him. There are long periods of time when Brad cannot see the children.”

In a recent court filing related to the dispute over the Miraval estate in France of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”, a former Jolie-Pitt family security guard accused Angelina of encouraging the children to stay away from their father during times Brad comes to visit.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been together since 2005, getting married in 2014. The children are all with Angelina Jolie after the Hollywood couple divorced in 2016.
