Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter Shiloh is dropping “Pitt” from her legal name.
Per documents obtained by TMZ, Shiloh filed a petition to become Shiloh Jolie on May 27, which is the day she turned 18. Brad and Angelina, who separated in 2016 after 12 years together, also share kids Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 15. Reps for both Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie did not respond to E!’s request for comment regarding Shiloh’s request.
Shiloh isn’t the only member of the Jolie-Pitt brood to drop Brad’s last name publicly. Vivienne, who worked alongside her mother as a production assistant on the Broadway musical The Outsiders, was credited in the playbill as Vivienne Jolie. And when Zahara was pledging a sorority at Spelman College, where she enrolled last year, she referred to herself as Zahara Marley Jolie.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are currently embroiled in a legal battle over their vineyard, Château Miraval, amid their ongoing divorce.
On the heels of Shiloh’s name change request, Vivienne stepped out alongside her mom to attend the premiere of Reefer Madness: The Musical in Los Angeles. The musical is produced by Kristen Bell, who starred in Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical in 2005.
Of Angelina’s attendance at the premiere, Bell told People, “She just said she wanted to come out and support, which I thought was a lovely gesture, particularly for a project that is launching in Los Angeles where it’s not the biggest theater community, or it maybe has a different identity than a New York community.” See, Bell gets it. Identity—regarding a theater community or a legal last name—is important.
