Brad Pitt’s Daughter Shiloh Takes Out Spot in L.A. Newspaper Announcing She’s Dropping Dad’s Last Name
Brad Pitt’s daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is making moves in court to have a judge quickly sign off on her request to drop his famous last name, In Touch can exclusively reveal.
According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Shiloh, 18, recently took out a spot in The Los Angeles Time announcing the petition she filed.
Angelina Jolie’s daughter required to place the notice in the local paper before her petition can be approved by the court.
The newspaper notice explains Shiloh filed a petition for a decree changing names from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to simply Shiloh Nouvel Jolie.
The notice told all persons interested in this matter or anyone who believes the petition should not be granted should show up to court later this month.
A rep for the LA Times didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Shiloh filed the petition on her 18th birthday in May, insinuating that she doesn’t want to be associated with her famous father amid his brutal divorce battle with the Girl, Interrupted star.
Shiloh reportedly hired and paid for her own lawyer, so “Angie doesn’t know and can’t speak for it.”
However, Pitt insiders question who was really behind the significant move, telling Page Six, “Reasonable people should draw their own conclusions as to who was actually behind it.”
A source also toldPeople that the Ocean’s 11 actor was “aware and upset” about his daughter’s actions.
In 2022, Jolie, 49, alleged that a drunken Pitt, 60, assaulted and verbally abused her and two of their children during a trip aboard a private plane in 2016. Ultimately, the U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to press charges, but the former couple soon confirmed their split.
Over the years, Jolie-Pitt has managed to maintain a relatively low profile. Recently, she accompanied her mom on the red carpet at the Tony Awards in New York City.
Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016. They were reportedly declared legally single in 2019 by a judge, but their divorce has yet to be finalized. They are also parents to Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.
A hearing for Jolie-Pitt’s pending name change is scheduled for July 29.
Over the years, the actors have been embroiled in legal battles over custody of their children and disagreements related to their shared business interests and properties, including a French winery.
