Brad Pitt, renowned actor and father of six, has limited contact with his adult children but maintains visitation rights with his younger ones. Since his divorce from Angelina Jolie in 2019, the children have predominantly stayed with their mother. Despite the custody agreement allowing Pitt visitation, his interaction with the younger kids has been limited recently due to his busy filming schedule.
Shiloh Drops ‘Pitt’ Surname, Brad Pitt Upset
Recently, headlines were made when Shiloh, one of Pitt’s daughters, legally dropped ‘Pitt’ from her surname, opting to go by Shiloh Jolie. This decision has reportedly upset Pitt, as it serves as a reminder of his estranged relationship with his children. A source close to Pitt revealed, “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; her younger sibling, Vivienne, has also chosen to go by Vivienne Jolie in public documents, although it is unclear if this change has been made legally.
Custody Agreement and Brad Pitt’s Current Life
According to an exclusive by People magazine, the custody arrangement allows Pitt to have meet-ups with his minor children. However, the source noted, “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. Despite the challenges, Pitt continues to navigate his relationship with his children while managing his professional commitments.
