Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were once two halves of one of the most high-profile marriages in the world, but these days relations between them have soured to the point of undeniable animosity.
Since their 2019 divorce, the superstars, once collectively dubbed ‘Brangelina’ by the press, have been involved in legal battles and media-fueled spats, and a string of allegations have been made in recent times.
As recently as April of this year were papers submitted by Jolie to the Los Angeles Superior Court accusing Pitt of physical abuse – something he has vehemently denied – while the former couple are still at odds over the sale of a French winery they purchased while together.
Only days ago it was reported that one of Angelina and Brad’s children, Vivienne, had apparently elected to drop ‘Pitt’ from her last name, and now the word is that Vivienne’s sister, Shiloh, has moved to do the same thing, but in a more official way.
As per TMZ, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt celebrated her 18th birthday earlier this week, and immediately moved to remove ‘Pitt’ from her name.
The outlet say that Shiloh filed paperwork to request a legal name change, and from here on out her name will simply be Shiloh Jolie.
The fact that the paperwork was filed on Monday, the day she turned 18, indicates that the name change was one of the first things she wanted to accomplish as a legal adult.
According to TMZ, the name change has not yet taken effect, but it will in due course. Shiloh is one of Jolie and Pitt’s six children, but she does not appear to be the only one who has poor connections with her father.
As previously stated, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 15, recently made headlines when her name was listed on the official Playbill for The Outsiders, a performance she assisted her mother in producing, and her name was recorded as Vivienne Jolie rather than Vivienne Jolie-Pitt.
Meanwhile, 19-year-old Zahara – one of Angelina and Brad’s three adopted children – reportedly also goes by Zahara Jolie these days, and TMZ say that the oldest of the siblings, Maddox, 22, doesn’t use ‘Pitt’ in his surname either.
As stands, Shiloh is the only one of the children to legally move to have their name changed, but the overall message appears fairly clear: all of them are siding with their mother as concerns the ongoing discontent between their parents.
Son Pax, readers may remember, lambasted Pitt in an Instagram post from 2020 that resurfaced recently.
