Dropping the Family Name: Shiloh Jolie's Name Change Journey
Shiloh presents herself in this manner nowadays - Shiloh, the daughter, has reportedly undergone a transformation.
After a decisive step towards independence, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, daughter of ex-power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, has dropped her father's last name, adopting Shiloh Jolie as her legal name. At a recent event for Isabel Marant's capsule collection with Net-A-Porter in Los Angeles, she was credited as "Shi Joli," a possible nod to her mother and a shortened form of her maiden name.
Choreographing a New Identity
As reported by "Page Six," Shiloh was seen credited as "Shi Joli" in a press release for the event where she showcased her choreography talents. The dance performance, featuring Tako Suzuki and Keoni Rose, was accompanied by Luella's song "Naïve" and took place at Schindler's Oliver House in Silver Lake, attended by stars like Milla Jovovich, Alison Brie, January Jones, and Rachel Bilson.
Zahara and Maddox following suit
Shiloh isn't the only child of the former duo to distance herself from the family name. In 2023, sister Zahara Jolie-Pitt introduced herself as "Zahara Marley Jolie" at a sorority initiation ceremony at Spelman College, while Maddox has reportedly been using "Jolie" over "Pitt" in unofficial documents since a custody battle in 2021.
A Decade of Legal Battle Ends
Originally a Hollywood power couple, Brad and Angelina raised their six children together, welcoming Shiloh in 2006 and twins Knox and Vivienne in 2008. After a bitter divorce in 2016, their legal battle persisted for eight years before being finalized in December 2024.
