ET Online reports that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter, Shiloh, has filed a petition with the court to have Pitt removed from her last name. 

There’s a reason why Angelina Jolie couldn’t speak up about Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s official request.

A close source explained to ET Online : “Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself, so Angelina doesn’t know and can’t speak out.” 

Accordingly, Shiloh filed a request with the court on May 27, the day she turned 18 years old.

When submitting the paperwork, Shiloh hopes to legally change her name to simply Shiloh Jolie. 

Brad and Angelina have three biological children, including Shiloh and 15-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox. 

In addition, they have three adopted children, Maddox (22 years old), Pax, 20 years old, and daughter Zahara, 19 years old.

Zahara was the first person to drop Pitt from her last name. She introduced herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie” at an event in Atlanta, Georgia. Recently, Vivienne did the same thing. She and her famous mother co-produced the Broadway play The Outsiders and Vivienne was introduced as “Vivienne Jolie”.

However, Shiloh is the first of Angelina and Brad’s children to apply to the court to legally change their last name. Notably, the star Maleficent was born Angelina Jolie Voight. 

However, after being estranged from her father for a long time, Jolie filed a petition asking the court to legally cancel Voight’s name. That request was approved in 2002.

Brad and Angelina started dating in 2005 after co-starring in Mr. &Mrs. Smith . Since their divorce in 2019, the two stars have been involved in many legal battles. The two once won custody of their children and Angelina Jolie won.

Recently, Pitt has continuously filed lawsuits against his ex-wife in Luxembourg, California, and France in the Château Miraval estate case and has initially won in all three places. Meanwhile, Jolie accused her ex-husband of abusing her.
