No Contact, New Name: Shiloh Jolie’s Legal Move Leaves Brad Pitt ’Aware and Upset’

In a move that has captured public attention, Shiloh Jolie, daughter of Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has taken formal steps to legally change her surname. The 18-year-old has filed to remove “Pitt” from her name, opting instead for “Shiloh Jolie.”

This development came to light when a notice was published in the Los Angeles Times, a required step in the California legal process for name changes. Shiloh’s attorney, Peter Levine, clarified that this was not an “ad” taken out by Shiloh herself, but rather a mandatory legal notice.

Levine emphasized the significance of Shiloh’s decision, stating, “The media should be more careful in their reporting, especially when covering a young adult who has made an independent and significant decision following painful events, and is merely following legal process.”

The attorney’s mention of “painful events” alludes to the tumultuous divorce proceedings between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, which began in 2016. The split was reportedly triggered by an alleged incident involving Brad and then 15-year-old Maddox on a private jet, though Brad was later cleared of any wrongdoing.

Shiloh’s decision appears to be part of a broader trend among the Jolie-Pitt children. Her sisters, Zahara and Vivienne, have also publicly used “Jolie” without “Pitt” in recent years. Zahara introduced herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie” at a college event, while Vivienne was credited as “Vivienne Jolie” in a Broadway Playbill.

Reports suggest that Brad Pitt has “virtually no contact” with his adult children and limited visitation with the younger ones. Sources close to the actor indicate that he is “aware and upset” about Shiloh’s name change filing.

As the legal process continues, this story underscores the complex dynamics often at play in high-profile divorces and their impact on children, even as they enter adulthood.

With all eyes on this celebrity family, it’s time to take a closer look at Angelina Jolie herself. You won’t believe what we’ve uncovered about her supposed halo.
