LOS ANGELES. Shiloh, Brad Pitt’s daughter with Angelina Jolie, has officially requested to change her legal name, dropping Pitt’s surname. On her 18th birthday, May 27, Shiloh filed paperwork to be known as Shiloh Jolie.
This decision comes amid reports that Pitt, 60, is attempting to mend a fractured relationship with Shiloh. The actor’s other children—Vivienne, Zahara, and Maddox—also reportedly do not use Pitt’s last name.
Pitt and Jolie share biological daughter Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15. They also have three adopted children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, and Zahara, 19. The couple’s relationship began publicly after Pitt announced his divorce from Jennifer Aniston in 2005. Jolie filed for divorce in 2016 after two years of marriage, with the couple being declared legally single in 2019.
The divorce battle has reportedly taken a toll on Pitt’s relationship with his children. Allegations of abuse have further strained these relationships. In 2022, Jolie filed court papers accusing Pitt of grabbing her by the head and attacking two of their children on a private jet in 2016. The documents also claimed that Pitt verbally abused and poured alcohol on his family during the flight from France to Los Angeles. Pitt has denied these accusations, and authorities chose not to press charges following an FBI investigation in 2016.
Earlier this year, Jolie alleged that the abuse began before the incident on the plane. Pax has not spoken to his father since the alleged incident and has publicly criticized Pitt on his private Instagram account, calling him a “world-class a—hole” and a “despicable person” who made his younger siblings “tremble in fear.”
In light of these ongoing issues, Pitt has reportedly dropped his push for shared custody of their children.
