In a move that surprised many, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, the 18-year-old daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has legally changed her name, dropping her father's surname. Born Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt on May 27, 2006, in Namibia, she filed court documents on May 30, 2024, to remove "Pitt" from her last name, and published a notice in the Los Angeles Times as part of the legal process.
The reasons behind Shiloh's decision remain private, as she has chosen not to publicly disclose them. This change aligns with a broader trend among the couple's children; their 16-year-old daughter, Vivienne, has also opted to drop the "Pitt" surname.
