Brad Pitt is reportedly concerned that his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, has been alienating their six children, particularly their daughter Shiloh, and shaping their identities to reflect her own image. According to sources, Pitt is troubled by Shiloh’s growing resemblance to Angelina, both in appearance and style, which has led him to feel as though his presence in their children’s lives is being erased.
Shiloh, 18, who once mirrored her father’s laid-back style, now sports braided hair reminiscent of Angelina’s Tomb Raider character, Lara Croft. She recently got her first tattoo, a Gemini symbol, which is shared with her mother’s astrological sign. The situation became even more painful for Pitt when Shiloh reportedly discarded a personal item he had given her as a child, which the source describes as “cruel and unbearable” for the actor.
The tension grew when Shiloh legally dropped Pitt’s last name as soon as she turned 18 last May, which deeply affected him. Sources say Pitt feels his daughter is becoming increasingly aligned with her mother, and he believes that Jolie has been manipulating their children to side against him for years. This, he feels, has reached a “crisis level.”
Pitt’s estrangement from his children, including Maddox, Pax, Zahara, and the 16-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne, has been ongoing since his tumultuous divorce from Jolie in 2016. Their bitter custody battle lasted until December 2024, when the divorce was finally finalized. However, the damage to their family has proven lasting, with Pitt still in a court battle over their French winery, Château Miraval.
Now, Pitt is reportedly at his breaking point. While he has always held back to protect his children’s well-being, he’s reportedly ready to speak out about the impact Jolie’s actions have had on him and their family. Sources say that Pitt plans to confront Shiloh directly, without sugarcoating his feelings, as he believes she is old enough to understand the truth.
