Shiloh, the daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, has been granted court permission to change her name from “Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt” to “Shiloh Nouvel Jolie,” removing her father's surname. The application was filed just three days after his 18th birthday in May.
According to TMZ, there was no formal hearing to confirm it. However, the request was granted without any major issues. Under California law, before a judge can grant a name change petition, he must publish legal forms in a newspaper for a month. The request will then appear in the publication's legal notice section.
In July, Shiloh Jolie’s attorney, Peter Levine, provided new details about her decision to renounce her father’s surname. He told Page Six that “traumatic events” preceded the change, and denied that the young woman acted rashly.
North American media speculated that the events described by the lawyer indicated that Shiloh and her siblings had been estranged from their father, since his split from Angelina in 2016. That same month, a source told People magazine that Brad Pitt was aware of the incident and was “very upset” by his daughter's decision.
The former couple have been locked in a legal dispute for nearly a decade, and the separation is believed to have been prompted by an assault incident on a flight from France to California, at the same time.
The former couple also have children: Maddox, Zahara, Pax, and twins Knox and Vivienne. In The Outsiders, Vivienne, who worked as a producer's assistant, used only the surname “Julie.”
