Shiloh, Pitt's daughter, will renounce Brad's name - She published a newspaper advertisement
Shiloh (18), Brad Pitt's (60) and Angelina Jolie's (49) daughter, reportedly sticks to her plan of dropping Pitt from her last name. According to "TMZ", the 18-year-old has now published an announcement in the "Los Angeles Times" to declare that she wants to change her name from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie.
Californian law, as reported by US media, requires a person to file a notice of name change in a widely circulated newspaper as a standard procedure before the court grants green light for a name change, according to "TMZ". The minor celebrity's representative is seeking to alter Shiloh's name.
Procedure has been running for weeks
It was already known in May that Shiloh wants officially to remove her father's surname from her name. "TMZ" reported at the time about a corresponding name change application. She reportedly filed this on her 18th birthday. On her private Instagram profile, she identified herself as Shi Jolie beforehand. The 18-year-old is active as a dancer, supposedly wanting to be creative without the protection of her famous parents. However, she performs under her mother's name.
Brad Pitt is reportedly still embroiled in a divorce dispute with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. A source told "People" magazine in early June that the actor was "informed and upset" about Shiloh's name change application.
Pitt and Jolie have a total of six common children: Maddox (22), Zahara (19), and Pax (20) were adopted by the two. Shiloh and the twins Knox and Vivienne (16) are their biological children. Jolie and Pitt met each other during the filming of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" in 2005 and fell in love. After their engagement in 2012, the couple married in 2014 in France. Angelina Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016. To this day, there are legal disputes, for example, over a formerly shared vineyard in the south of France.
