Grab your popcorn, folks! The Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie saga just found another twist to keep us on the edge of our seats. According to reports, Brad Pitt is heartbroken—or more dramatically, ‘devastated’—that his kids are shedding his famous surname like last season’s fashion faux pas.
Rewind to earlier this month: 18-year-old Shiloh, the couple’s daughter, officially filed to ditch the ‘Pitt’ from her surname. That’s right, she strutted into adulthood as Shiloh Jolie, and boy, did that send shockwaves!
Shiloh isn’t alone in this surname-scorn parade. Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, a 15-year-old with a knack for drama—literally, she helped produce ‘The Outsiders’—is now credited simply as Vivienne Jolie. Then there’s Zahara, 19, who’s also airing on the Jolie side of things, while Maddox, the eldest at 22, long ago dropped the ‘Pitt’ like it was hot.
And let’s not forget Pax—oh, Pax. The 2020 Instagram post where he referred to Pitt as a purveyor of ‘constant hell’ for those around him has made its dramatic entrance once again.
According to Little Things, seeing ‘Pitt’ erased from his children’s names has Brad deeply hurt. The stark symbolism of it all cuts like a knife, per insiders: “To him, it was more than a change of name— it was a symbol of a deeper estrangement that has been brewing for years.”
But twist alert! Another source insists Shiloh’s name switch was all her doing. Independent and decisive, she hired her own lawyer to battle this one out. However, our source whispers that Brad’s not buying it; he suspects Angelina’s behind his kids’ apparent disconnect.
“He feels that the negative narrative Angelina presents to the kids is a major obstacle in his efforts to reconnect,” the source spill goes. “With Angelina having daily influence over the children, Brad finds it nearly impossible to change their perceptions.”
Ever since ‘Brangelina’s’ split in 2019, their lives seem like fodder for a high-stakes courtroom drama. From physical abuse allegations (which Brad denies vehemently) to bickering over a French winery, the legal battles rage on as if their past bliss was a mere illusion.
