Brad Pitt granted visitation with younger kids but has 'virtually no contact' with adult children
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Brad Pitt is now allowed to visit his younger children, but he has no virtual contact with his adult children from his marriage to Angelina Jolie.
This change comes after Jolie and Pitt's 18-year-old daughter, Shiloh, decided to file for the removal of "Pitt" from her last name a month ago.
Brad recently drew attention for his public display of affection with his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, at the British Grand Prix on Sunday, July 7.
He was seen confidently holding her hand and navigating through the crowds at the rainy racing event.
Brad Pitt has 'no contact with the adult children'
Brad, currently filming his upcoming racing movie F1 in Europe, has "virtually no contact with his adult children," according to a source.
His interaction with the younger children has also been limited in recent months due to his busy filming schedule, as per People.
The source claimed, "His engagement with the younger kids is more limited in recent months because of his filming schedule."
Jolie, aged 48, and Pitt, aged 60, have six children together: Maddox, 22, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, Pax, 20, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15.
The source further points out that their custody arrangement grants Pitt visitation rights with their minor children. "[Angelina] has the kids most of the time, but per their agreement, he has visitation with the younger kids," the source added.
Brad Pitt upset over Shiloh's name change amid family struggles
A source close to Brad Pitt recently disclosed that he feels "aware and upset" about Shiloh's name change.
The source stated in June, "He's aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name." The insider added, "The reminders that he’s lost his children, is of course not easy for Brad. He loves his children and misses them. It’s very sad."
The source continued, mentioning that Pitt remains happy with Ines de Ramon, but the distance from his children "pains him." Another individual close to Brad mentioned, "He still loves all of his kids, this whole process has been very hard for the whole family."
According to reports, Shiloh filed paperwork on Monday, May 27, her 18th birthday, to legally change her name to "Shiloh Jolie."
Shiloh is not the only child of Jolie and Pitt to potentially use a different name. In the Playbill for the new musical 'The Outsiders,' which their daughter Vivienne helped produce with her mother, she is credited as "Vivienne Jolie" rather than "Vivienne Jolie-Pitt." It is currently unclear if Vivienne has also legally changed her name.
