Brad Pitt ‘plans' to become father again

Amidst the chilly reception from his children, Brad Pitt is reportedly considering embracing fatherhood once again.

While reports suggest that he has been contemplating expanding his family with girlfriend Ines De Ramon for over a year, recent actions by his children to drop his surname may accelerate this decision.

"Brad wants another shot at being a father," disclosed an insider. "He's evolved since his first experience."

Sources indicate that the Oscar winner was deeply wounded by Shiloh's unexpected decision to remove his name from hers.

"With the strained relationship between him and Shiloh's mother, he suspects Angelina may have influenced this choice," the source confided to In Touch.

"The days following Shiloh's birth in Namibia were among the happiest for Brad," the source added. "He's profoundly hurt and concerned about Vivienne and Zahara also relinquishing his surname. It's evident Angelina is exacerbating the situation."

Brad and Angelina share six children, and their dynamic remains complex at best.
