“ The reminders that he ’s lost his nestling , is of course not easy for Brad . He hump his children and misses them . It ’s very sad . ”

We’ve had an update about howBrad Pittapparently feels about the news that one of his daughters hasfiled to drophis last name — although it seems to have done more damage than good.

In case you missed it, it was widely reported last week that Brad andAngelina Jolie’s daughter, Shiloh, recentlyfiled a request in courtto legally change her last name from “Jolie-Pitt” to “Jolie.”

In addition to Shiloh, Brad and Angelina share five other children: Maddox, 22; Pax, 20; Zahara, 19; Knox, 15; and Vivienne, 15. And though Shiloh is the first to file legally, she certainly isn’t the only one of her siblings to have seemingly attempted to drop “Pitt” from their last name.

The girls’ apparent attempts to distance themselves from their father come after years of rumors that Brad’s relationship with his children was left strained over his and Angelina’s ongoingdivorce. The split was believed to have been triggered by analleged incident on a private jetinvolving the couple and their children, which took place five days before Angelina filed for divorce.

Neither Brad nor Angelina has publicly commented on Shiloh’s name-change filing, although a report now claims that her father is “aware and upset” by the move.

While it’s worth acknowledging that these quotes were provided anonymously, users online have expressed confusion over the claim that Shiloh’s birth overjoyed Brad because he “always wanted a daughter,” noting that he and Angelina adopted Zahara in 2005, before Shiloh was born.

That’s all we know for now. BuzzFeed has contacted Brad’s representatives for comment, and we’ll keep you updated on any further developments.
