Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, who is the daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has legally filed to change her last name.
The 18-year-old is one of six children the Hollywood stars share, along with twins Knox and Vivienne, 15, Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, and Zahara, 19.
The former couple welcomed their third child on May 27, 2006, in Swakopmund, Namibia.
Brad and Angelina tied the knot back in 2014, but just two years later, the Lara Croft star filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences.
The former spouses – who started dating in 2004 – were declared legally single in 2019, and a joint custody arrangement was established in 2021. However, this arrangement was short-lived as the judge overseeing the case was disqualified due to his close business relationships with Pitt’s legal team, per The Guardian.
In 2022, the 48-year-old actress filed a cross-complaint that contained allegations that the Bullet Train star physically abused one of their children onboard a private jet in 2016.
The filings, which were obtained by The New York Times, contended that the 60-year-old actor “choked one of the children and struck another in the face” and “grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her”.
It also states that, at one point, “he poured beer on Jolie; at another, he poured beer and red wine on the children.”
Pitt vehemently denied the claims at the time and was never charged following an investigation into allegations of abuse.
It’s no secret the Fight Club star has allegedly had a strained relationship with some of his children since he separated from Jolie.
This week, it was reported by TMZ that Pitt’s daughter Shiloh has now legally filed to officially change her last name to “Shiloh Jolie”.
The documents reveal that she selected “personal” as the reason for wanting to drop her dad’s last name. She filed the paperwork on May 27, which was her 18th birthday.
This report comes just days after it was discovered that her sister, Vivienne, made a similar move on the playbill for the new Broadway musical The Outsiders, where she serves as an assistant to the producer – who happens to be her mother, Angelina.
The program for the play reportedly listed the 15-year-old as “Vivienne Jolie,” omitting the “Pitt” from her name.
In addition to this, the former couple’s eldest adopted daughter, Zahara, also introduced herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie” after joining a sorority at Spelman College in Atlanta.
The Maleficent star opened up about her divorce in a 2020 interview with Vogue, revealing that she separated from Pitt for the “wellbeing” of her family.
“It was the right decision,” she said. “I continue to focus on their healing. Some have taken advantage of my silence, and the children see lies about themselves in the media, but I remind them that they know their own truth and their own minds. In fact, they are six very brave, very strong young people.”
