In a week of contrasting news for Hollywood star Brad Pitt, the actor has reportedly traveled to Italy to spend time with longtime friend George Clooney, while facing personal challenges on the family front.
Italian Getaway
According to sources speaking to PageSix:
- Brad Pitt, 60, was seen arriving via private jet in Milan.
- He mentioned to an attendant that he would be spending time with George Clooney in Lake Como, about an hour’s drive north of Milan.
- Pitt was reportedly dressed casually in a bucket hat, dark jacket, and jeans.
- The actor was traveling alone, without his girlfriend Ines de Ramon, 34.
George and Amal Clooney own a villa called Villa Oleandra in Lake Como, where they were spotted over a week ago. The Clooneys have a history of hosting Pitt at their Italian residence, dating back to when he was married to Jennifer Aniston.
Family Developments
Amid this trip, news broke about a significant decision made by Pitt’s daughter, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt:
- Shiloh, who turned 18 in May, has legally dropped her father’s surname.
- She filed to change her name from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie.
- The petition was granted on Monday, according to official court documents.
- Shiloh reportedly hired and paid for her own lawyer to handle the name change process.
A source close to the matter told DailyMail.com: “Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself, so Angie doesn’t know and can’t speak for it.”
This development comes amidst ongoing tensions between Pitt and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie, 48. The couple’s divorce proceedings have been contentious, involving custody battles and allegations of abuse.
As Brad Pitt seeks solace in the company of friends in Italy, these recent events highlight the complex dynamics within his family life, particularly his relationships with his children.
