"He was the happiest when she was born." Brad Pitt 'heartbroken' over daughter Shiloh giving up his last name

Brad Pitt is "heartbroken" over eldest daughter Shiloh's decision to officially drop his last name. The 60-year-old actor was very upset by the actions of the heiress, who recently turned 18 years old, People reports.

"He is aware and upset that Shiloh refused his last name. He has never felt such joy as at her birth. He always wanted a daughter," the source says. “Reminders that he lost his children are certainly not easy for Brad.”

Another insider notes that Pitt "still loves and misses all of his children very much." The news of Shiloh’s announcement to renounce his last name was a deep emotional blow for the star father and “broke his heart.” Shiloh's decision comes shortly after her younger sister Vivienne also dropped the Pitt surname. But Shiloh was the first to make it official. This trend, according to the source, worries Pitt, who is sensitive to the physical and emotional distance from his children.

Let us remind you that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have six children together: adopted - Maddox, Zahara and Pax, as well as biological - Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne. Adopted children have not communicated with Pitt for a long time. Pax on social networks called his father a “terrible person” who keeps his children in fear and a “world-class asshole,” and Zahara already performed in college introducing herself as Zahara Marley Jolie.

Previously, information appeared online that Shiloh intended to move in with her father and wanted her parents to improve their relationship, but before she came of age, she changed her mind.

Pitt and Jolie announced their divorce back in 2016, and the legal battle is still ongoing. And while the custody issues faded as three of the six children grew up, the battle for the Miraval castle and winery continues.
