BRAD Pitt’s daughter Shiloh has formally dropped his surname — just days after her sister ditched it too. She turned 18 on Monday and filed paperwork requesting a legal name change to Shiloh Jolie — after actress mum Angelina — instead of Jolie-Pitt. It comes days after the former Hollywood couple’s other biological daughter Vivienne, 15, was listed as simply Vivienne Jolie on a playbill for a Broadway musical which she has been working on with her mum.
It is the clearest sign that some of their children want to distance themselves from their dad, eight years after he split from Angelina . The couple also have biological son Knox, 15 , and adopted children Maddox, 22, Zahara, 19, and Pax, 20. Maddox and Zahara also use only the surname Jolie, although they have not started the legal process of changing their names.
Angelina has primary custody of the children, although Brad has visitation rights having dropped a pursuit of shared custody in March. Sources close to Brad have claimed his ex-wife has tried to alienate him from their children and drawn out their divorce settlement until the children are over 18. Court papers have also included claims that Brad attacked his wife and two children on a plane in 2016.
He has denied the allegations. In 2020, when he was 16, Pax referred to Brad as a “world class a***hole” and “despicable person” in a private post which was leaked. Speaking to Vogue the following year, Angelina said she divorced Brad for the family’.
