Brad Pitt is concerned that his children with Angelina Jolie will tell their side of the story in the future, according to a source.
Jolie and Pitt share six children -- Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 15-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. Most of them have shown their support for their mom, with their three girls dropping Pitt's surname. The "Bullet Train" actor is allegedly worried that they will do a tell-all interview in the future and compound his misery.
"This is a dark cloud hanging over Brad's head. He can muzzle Angelina with his lawyers, but he can't muzzle his own kids," an unnamed source told In Touch.

"They've stayed totally quiet so far, but at some point down the line, it's very plausible that they're going to want to tell their side of the story. There's nothing to stop them from doing it. And when they decide to go ahead and talk, Brad will just have to sit back and take it."
The tipster claimed that if this would happen, it would be the "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" star's "worst nightmare." However, at present, all he can do is get on with his life and put the thought of his kids talking about their family issues out of his mind.
"If these kids eventually do want to turn around and get the ultimate closure by laying it all out in the open and telling the world what they've been through, it's going to be Brad's worst nightmare and no doubt will be the ultimate humiliation for him," the source continued.

"He's in a very tough spot because it's not like he can even try and talk to them about it because that could only make things worse. So all he can do is wait for the hammer to drop and try to put it out of his mind."
The insider, however, added that Jolie would not encourage the children to do it. Jolie also allegedly "insisted" that it was Zahara, Shiloh and Vivienne who "made their own minds up" in removing their dad's last name.
Of Pitt and Jolie's children, their eldest biological child, Shiloh, was the first to file legal papers to drop Pitt's last name officially. She made the filing in May when she turned 18. An unnamed source told Entertainment Tonight that Shiloh "hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself."

Meanwhile, an unnamed source told People that Pitt was "aware and upset" with Shiloh's move. His strained relationship with his kids reportedly "pains him."
"The reminders that he's lost his children, is of course not easy for Brad. He loves his children and misses them. It's very sad," the insider added.
