Brad Pitt's children have quietly distanced themselves from their famous father in Los Angeles, with several reportedly dropping his surname 'solely on their own' at a time when the Oscar winner is spending long stretches in the South of France with girlfriend Ines de Ramon, according to sources cited by Us Weekly.
Pitt's family life has been under a harsh spotlight ever since his 2016 split from Angelina Jolie, which triggered years of legal battles, allegations and a bitter custody fight over their six children. While the divorce itself was finalised long ago, the emotional fallout appears to be very much ongoing, and it is now his relationship with his children that is drawing the sharpest scrutiny.
