Brad Pitt allegedly objected to his and Angelina Jolie’s first biological daughter, Shiloh, testifying on her custody arrangement preferences, according to a report.
Jolie filed to divorce the “Fight Club” actor Brad Pitt in 2016 and requested full custody of their six children.
A source told Us Weekly that the teen, who was 14 at the time, was one of the pair’s children to want to testify during a 2021 hearing Pitt, 60, was awarded joint custody at the time
However, the court later honored Jolie’s wishes to remove the judge from the case after it emerged that he did not disclose his business relations with the actor’s legal team.
A second insider told the outlet that Shiloh’s relationship with the Oscar winner became greatly fractured over time.
“She (used to be) very close with Brad and his family, but that relationship (changed) in recent years,” the source said.
Shiloh legally filed to drop “Pitt” from her name on her 18th birthday, leaving her famous father “devastated.”
Though the teen’s name change has yet to be granted, her new moniker will reportedly be “Shiloh Jolie.”
Eagle-eyed fans also noticed Shiloh’s sister Vivienne dropped her dad’s surname in “The Outsiders” Playbill last month.
The dancer who helped mom Jolie, 49, produce the Broadway play was reportedly listed as “Vivienne Jolie” in the magazine for theatergoers.
Since news of the name change request came to light, Pitt has reportedly been “putting on a brave face.”
“It was a symbol of a deeper estrangement that has been brewing for years,” the insider told the outlet, with another alleging that he’s “finding it extremely difficult to come to terms with” the news.
A third added that Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15, don’t “have much of a relationship” with their dad, who is “not ready to give up on them.”
Last year, Zahara left off the “Pitt” from her name during her Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority induction ceremony at Spelman College in Atlanta.
During the probate, she referred to herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie.”
And in 2021, Us Weekly reported that Brad Pitt and Jolie’s son Maddox, 22, “doesn’t use Pitt as his last name on documents that aren’t legal and instead uses Jolie.”
The “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” co-stars are also parents to Pax, 20, and twins Vivienne and Knox, both 15.
Though the former couple was declared legally single in 2019, their divorce proceedings are still ongoing.
