As I’m sure you know, Brad and Angelina share six children — Maddox, 22; Pax, 20; Zahara, 19; Shiloh, 18; and twins Knox and Vivienne, who will soon turn 16.

It’s been widely speculated that Brad’s relationship with his kids has been strained by his and Angelina’s ongoing divorce and legal battle. The 2016 split was believed to have been triggered by an alleged incident involving the couple and their children on a private jet.

While Angelina is often photographed on outings with the children and talks about them in interviews, it’s been a while since Brad has spoken publicly about his kids or been seen with any of them.

And now, over a month after Shiloh marked her 18th birthday by filing a request to change her last name from “Jolie-Pitt” to “Jolie,” new reports claim that Brad is virtually estranged from most of his children.

Though Shiloh is the first of her siblings to request to change her last name legally, her sisters also appear to be distancing themselves from their dad, too.

Brad — who was seen in the UK last week — has not publicly commented on the reports or his current relationship with his children. BuzzFeed has reached out to his representatives for comment.
