On May 27, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, who is 18 years old, filed legal paperwork to adopt her mother Angelina Jolie’s last name instead of her father Brad Pitt’s.
Her first grownup action is that she wants to be known just as “Shiloh Jolie,” as of right now.
According to a recent TMZ article, Shiloh submitted the paperwork on Memorial Day, which also happened to be her birthday. Although the proposal for the name change has not yet been approved formally, it should become official shortly.
Shiloh’s choice is in line with family tradition, as her sisters Zahara and Vivienne have also allegedly left out “Pitt” on a few times.
The playbill for the musical “The Outsiders” lists her as “Vivienne Jolie,” notably without “Pitt,” according to People in May 2024. An important development in Vivienne’s changing public identity is her new name.
Vivienne assists her mother Angelina, the producer of the show, in her role as a production assistant. On the promotional tour for the musical, she frequently goes with her mother.
Zahara became a member of Spelman College’s Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. in November 2023. Zahara’s new sorority sisters can be seen applauding as she takes the stage in a video that Essence posted.
“My name is Zahara Marley Jolie,” she declared with pride, perhaps omitting her father’s last name, and proceeded to dance and flip her hair.
Angelina and Brad are still embroiled in legal disputes, which coincide with their name change.
The family is suffering greatly both financially and emotionally as a result of the couple’s involvement in arguments around their joint ownership of a French winery and accusations of abuse.
In 2016, Angelina filed for divorce, and in 2019, the court ruled that they were no longer legally single. Their 2021 joint custody agreement is still a major point of contention in their post-divorce legal battles.
The couple’s legal drama has been further complicated by earlier court records that speculate that Brad and Angelina Jolie’s tense relationship may have been influenced by Jolie.
