Brad Pitt seems to be seeing less and less of his children. The actor now only has visiting rights for his younger children, while the adults no longer want any contact. And in addition to Shiloh, Vivienne now also seems to have dropped the surname "Pitt".

  • Brad Pitt has practically no contact with his adult children and very little with his younger children.
  • Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has requested to change her surname to "Jolie", which has upset Brad Pitt greatly.
  • The 60-year-old still has visitation rights to his younger children - they live exclusively with their mother Angelina Jolie.

It has been a month since the 18-year-old daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Shiloh, requested that "Pitt" be dropped from her surname. Now a source close to the family tells People that the actor has "virtually no contact" with his adult children.

He does, however, retain visitation rights to his younger offspring. "He has virtually no contact with the adult children. His involvement with the younger children has been more limited in recent months due to his filming schedule," says the source.

Pitt is currently in Europe filming his upcoming racing movie "F1". Jolie (48) and Pitt (60) have six children: Maddox (22), Zahara (19), Shiloh, Pax (20) and twins Knox and Vivienne (15). The insider adds that the custody agreement grants the couple visitation rights to their minor children.

Vivienne has also crossed off "Pitt"

"Angelina has the kids with her most of the time, but according to their agreement, he has visitation rights with the younger kids." A source close to Pitt also recently revealed that the father-of-six is "upset" about Shiloh's name change. "He's aware of it and is also upset that Shiloh dropped his last name," the source said. "The memories of losing his children are obviously not easy for Brad. He loves his kids and misses them. It's very sad."

Pitt is currently in a relationship with actress Ines de Ramon and recently appeared in public with her.

Shiloh is not the only child of Jolie and Pitt to apparently use a different name. In the program booklet of the new musical "The Outsiders", which her daughter Vivienne produced together with her mother Jolie, the teenager is listed as "Vivienne Jolie" and not "Vivienne Jolie-Pitt".

It is currently not clear whether Vivienne has also legally changed her name.
