Shiloh Jolie, 18, officially drops dad Brad Pitt’s last name after years of family drama
Shiloh Jolie is no longer a Pitt.
The 18-year-old daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie officially dropped her father’s surname after initially making the legal request on her birthday in May.
The court ruling obtained by Page Six shows a judge signed off on the change Monday morning. Her name has been changed from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie.
Reps for Shiloh and Angelina didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
TMZ was the first to report the news.
After the dancer filed her petition to distance herself from the Oscar-winning, it was revealed that Shiloh used her own money to pay for an attorney to represent her.
“Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself, so Angie doesn’t know and can’t speak for it,” an insider told “Entertainment Tonight.”
Part of the legal process to change a name in the state of California is to announce the petition in a newspaper; thus, Shiloh published her announcement in an ad in the Los Angeles Times, which ran on June 17, June 24, July 1 and July 8, court documents obtained by Page Six stated.
A hearing for Shiloh’s name change was initially scheduled to take place in July but had to be postponed because the court didn’t complete a necessary background check on time.
“This is normal. Everyone undergoing a name-change request needs to have a background check conducted by the court clerk, and because of clerical error, Shiloh’s hearing has been continued to a new date,” Shiloh’s attorney, Peter Levine, told Page Six in a statement.
Shiloh has joined several of her siblings who have also distanced themselves publicly from the “Ocean’s 11” star.
Earlier this year, Angelina, 49, and Brad’s daughter Vivienne was notably listed as “Vivienne Jolie” in “The Outsiders” Playbill.
The former couple’s eldest, Zahara, made headlines last fall when she proudly shouted her shortened name during an Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority induction ceremony in November 2023.
