In May, a source told us that Brad Pitt’s daughter, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, filed the necessary paperwork to change her last name when she turned 18.
According to ABC News, Brad Pitt’s daughter, Shiloh, has been publishing a legal notice in the Los Angeles Times every week since June 17, making it clear that she intends to change her name from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie. A source close to the family explained to us that this weekly publication is required by California law and is standard procedure for a name change.
Brad Pitt’s daughter, Shiloh, submitted the paperwork for the name change on May 27, her 18th birthday. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have three biological children—Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox, who are 15—and three adopted children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, and Zahara, 19. Zahara was the first to drop “Pitt” from her name, introducing herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie” after joining a sorority at Spelman College. Vivienne also dropped “Pitt” and was credited as “Vivienne Jolie” when she co-produced the Broadway production of The Outsiders with her mother, Angelina.
A source told us that Brad Pitt’s daughter, Shiloh, hired her own lawyer and paid for the name change herself.
Regarding Brad Pitt’s reaction, a source mentioned last month that he loves being a father and is upset by the situation, acknowledging the difficulties for the entire family.
Brad Pitt’s daughter, Shiloh’s, name change attempt is happening while Brad and Angelina are still in a long and contentious legal battle over their French vineyard, Château Miraval.
