Lately, Brad Pitt has reportedly expressed his upset upon learning that his daughter, Shilod, intends to legally change her last name.
According to the insiders, the father-of-six is aware of Shiloh’s decision and is saddened by it.
Shiloh is one of Brad Pitt’s six children with his former wife, Angelina Jolie, with whom he had a 12-year relationship, including two years of marriage.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s relationship began on the set of the film “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” in 2004, while Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston.
Together, they share three biological children: 18-year-old Shiloh and 15-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. The couple also adopted three children: 22-year-old Maddox, 20-year-old Pax, and 19-year-old Zahara.
Following his divorce from Jolie, Pitt’s relationship with his children reportedly became strained, leading to a growing distance between them.
This has now resulted in Shiloh’s decision to drop Pitt from her legal name. Shiloh, who recently turned 18, submitted a request for a name change on her birthday.
Sources close to the situation indicate that Brad Pitt feels a sense of loss in this matter.
They state that he has always loved his children a lot, and it’s hard for him to be reminded that they are not close anymore.
When Shiloh was born, he was extremely happy because he always wanted a daughter. He really misses his children and feels a sense of loss because of their estrangement.
Despite the challenges in his personal life, Brad Pitt is reported to have found happiness in his relationship with his girlfriend Ines De Ramon, whom he began dating in late 2022. De Ramon was previously married to actor Paul Wesley.
The news of Shiloh’s desire to change her last name comes amidst reports that Vivienne also seems to have dropped Pitt from her name, as she was listed as Vivienne Jolie in a recent playbill.
It remains unclear if any of the other children have similar intentions.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are currently involved in a dispute over a $1.08 payment related to their winery, Chateau Miraval.
The couple, who co-owned the winery, had initially split ownership with Pitt holding a majority stake of 60% and Jolie owning the remaining 40%.
However, just before their wedding in 2014, Pitt transferred 10% ownership to Jolie, making them equal partners with a 50/50 split. The transfer of ownership was documented with a symbolic payment of one euro.
Following their divorce, Jolie sold her 50% stake to Stoli Group, a company that purchased the shares.
Pitt’s lawyers are now arguing that the sale is invalid due to the missing $1.08 payment. They claim that Jolie never completed the symbolic payment, rendering the transfer of ownership incomplete.
Additionally, they argue that the euro was not a fair value for the 10% stake.
Based on this argument, Pitt’s legal team is seeking to void Jolie’s sale of her shares to Stoli Group, asserting that she only held a 40% stake and therefore lacked the authority to sell half of the winery.
However, Stoli Group remains unfazed by the legal battle, stating that they have no reason to believe their purchase of 50% ownership is invalid.
Previously, Jolie’s team has introduced allegations of physical abuse by Pitt, claiming that it began even earlier than previously reported.
