Shiloh Jolie-Pitt turned 18 on May 27, and she marked the occasion with a significant statement regarding her relationship with her father, Brad Pitt. The daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has been gradually distancing herself from her father since a private jet incident in 2016, which was a catalyst for her parents’ separation.
However, on this milestone birthday, she made a decisive move to formalize this estrangement. According to reports from TMZ, Shiloh has taken the step of legally changing her name, dropping her father’s last name and choosing to keep only her mother’s. This action underscores the deep rift in their family and signals Shiloh’s firm stance in this sensitive family matter.
Shiloh Drops Brad Pitt’s Name for 18th Birthday
On her 18th birthday, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt filed documentation with the relevant U.S. authorities to legally change her name. She specifically requested to drop the “Pitt” surname, preferring to be officially known as Shiloh Jolie. This deliberate choice highlights her desire to completely dissociate herself from her father, both personally and nominally.
Shiloh isn’t the only child of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to take such steps. Zahara, at age 18, introduced herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie” when she joined the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority at Spelman College. Meanwhile, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, the youngest of the former star couple’s children, didn’t wait until adulthood to make a similar break.
While working as a production assistant for her mother on the Broadway musical “The Outsiders,” the 15-year-old chose to credit herself in the production solely as Vivienne Jolie, further indicating her definitive emancipation from her father.
