'He Knew This Was Coming': Brad Pitt Still Hoping To Reconnect With Kids After Daughter Shiloh Drops His Last Name

Brad Pitt hopes to restore relations with his children, despite the fact that his daughter Shiloh has dropped his last name, the DailyMail reports, citing its sources.

According to the insider, his daughter's decision did not come as a surprise to the 60-year-old actor. "He knew it was coming and there's nothing he can do about it now. It's sad, but Brad's strained relationship with his kids and Angelina is just a way of life for him now."

At the same time, Pitt is always ready to help his children if they need anything. "He respects Shiloh's decision. He loves her, and no matter what happens, he's always a phone call away. He will be there for Shiloh and any of his children whenever they need it, no questions asked. But it's up to them to decide what step to take next."

Previously, the actor could not contact his son Pax, who was in the hospital after a serious motorcycle accident. Several years ago, Pax called him a "world-class asshole." As for Shiloh, she, according to insiders, decided to renounce the last name of her father, 60-year-old Brad Pitt, due to "painful events" that have occurred in her life. Also, Pitt's adopted daughter Zahara and biological daughter Vivienne have previously renounced the last name.

Pitt and Jolie have six children in total, three of whom are adopted: 22-year-old Maddox, 19-year-old Zahara and 20-year-old Pax, and three are biological: 18-year-old Shiloh and 15-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
