Shiloh had previously requested to drop her father’s last name on her 18th birthday in May 2024, and the change was officially finalised in August. After a judge approved the petition, she legally became Shiloh Nouvel Jolie. It is reported that she handled the process independently, hiring her lawyer and covering the costs herself. Angelina was not involved in the decision, as a source told Entertainment Tonight.

When Did Shiloh Change Her Name?

In July, Shiloh’s attorney Peter Levine confirmed to Page Six that her decision was independent and significant, driven by painful events, and that she chose to drop “Pitt” from her name without her parents’ influence. Angelina Jolie, 49, and Brad Pitt, 61, share six children: Maddox (23), Zahara (20), Pax (21), Knox (16), Vivienne (16), and Shiloh. Their divorce was finalised in December 2024 after an eight-year legal process. In a May interview with GQ, Brad Pitt addressed the end of his high-profile divorce, stating that he did not feel “relief,” but rather saw it as “something coming to fruition”—a legal milestone.
