On May 27th of this year, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt celebrated her 18th birthday.
For her, the day not only marked her entry into adulthood, but also a symbolic distance from her father Brad Pitt (60). On that day, she filed an application with the court in Los Angeles to officially drop her father’s surname “Pitt.” This was reported by several US media outlets, including “People” magazine.
From the stage to bureaucracy
The distancing was not only evident in the towers of paper in the offices, but also in the spotlight. The daughter Vivienne also recently appeared without her father’s name. In a theater production, she appeared only under the name Vivienne Jolie.

In her personal environment and on social platforms, Shiloh had previously introduced herself as Shi Jolie, as TMZ reports. The pursuit of her own creative expression was a key concern for the young dancer. She wanted to use her talents without having to rely on her parents’ fame.
«Brangelina» divided by serious allegations
According to “Life and Style,” Shiloh had shown sympathy for her father until recently. “She understands that he has become estranged from some of her siblings, but she adores her mother and only does what she is comfortable with,” wrote the US magazine. Her brother Knox, Vivienne’s twin brother, is said to still be partly loyal to Brad Pitt.

But the change in name and family ties is just the latest blow in a series of controversies. In 2016, Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt.
The failure of the marriage of “Brangelina”, who were once considered the most glamorous couple in the film industry, has left deep scars. Jolie made serious accusations: her ex-husband is said to have used physical violence against her and her children.
