Guess who’s rewriting their own Hollywood story? Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, the daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has officially ditched “Pitt” from her name—at least on paper.
The 18-year-old, known for keeping things pretty private, made the move in a subtle but serious way. According to Variety, court documents confirm that she filed to legally change her name to Shiloh Jolie right after her birthday in May. The docs were filed in Los Angeles on May 27.
Let’s be real—this isn’t just a name tweak. It’s a statement.
While Shiloh hasn’t commented publicly, the timing says a lot. The legal filing came almost immediately after she turned 18, signaling she was ready to make the call as soon as she could.
And she’s not alone.
Her sisters, Zahara and Vivienne, have both been spotted skipping “Pitt” recently, too. Zahara introduced herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie” at her Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority induction at Spelman College last year, according to Essence. Vivienne was listed as “Vivienne Jolie” in the Playbill for The Outsiders, the Broadway show she worked on with Angelina.
Is this part of a larger family trend? It sure looks like it.
All of this comes against the backdrop of a long-running legal and emotional standoff between Jolie and Pitt. The two have been locked in a bitter court battle since filing for divorce in 2016. Custody issues, property disputes (like the famous Château Miraval winery), and public statements have kept the headlines rolling.
But Shiloh’s move feels deeply personal. Not loud, not flashy—just a quiet step toward independence.
No red carpets, no press tour, just one name on a legal form: Shiloh Jolie.
And for a kid who’s grown up under a Hollywood microscope, that’s about as bold as it gets.
