Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s other daughters 'dropped' surname months before Shiloh legally changed name

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Shiloh has legally changed her official title in the wake of her parents' divorce in 2016 - however, she wasn't the first to make the move to change her name.

Shiloh is the third child of the former Hollywood couple to change her name following her sisters Zahara and Vivienne, with all three now having 'dropped' their father's surname altogether.

Jolie and Pitt had been in a relationship for 12 years at the time of their split - having met whilst filming Mr & Mrs Smith back in 2005 - before welcoming six children together.

In the years that followed the divorce announcement - with Jolie claiming it was due to 'irreconcilable differences' - the duo have ended up in a pretty messy situation.

Pitt, 60, had previously attempted to sue his ex-wife for selling her share of their jointly-purchased French winery Chateau Miraval to a third party.

The Unwanted star, 49, in turn filed a countersuit in 2022, alleging her co-star ex had been abusive to herself and her children during a 2016 flight on a private jet.

According to the cross-complaint filed by Jolie, the Oceans Eleven star allegedly 'choked' one of their six children onboard the flight, and 'struck another in the face'.

The actor is also alleged to have 'grabbed' his wife 'by the head', and 'poured beer and red wine on the children' - all of which are accusations that Pitt's representatives have consistently denied.

Ever since the debacle hit the headlines, many have wondered where their six children stand between their parents.

The pair also share sons Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, and Knox, 16.

And since then, three of their daughters have made the decision to change their legal names.

It was first reported last year that their eldest daughter Zahara, 19 - whom the couple had adopted from Ethiopia in 2005 - had dropped 'Pitt' from her name, after introducing herself as just 'Zahara Jolie' upon her arrival at a sorority at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia.

In the months that followed, it was subsequently claimed that Vivienne - their youngest daughter, born with her twin brother Knox back in 2008 - had made the same decision.

And back in May, a lawyer representing another of their children - their daughter Shiloh - claimed that the youngster would also be following in her sisters' footsteps upon her 18th birthday.

The teen's lawyer Peter Levine told People at the time: "The media should be more careful in their reporting, especially when covering a young adult who has made an independent and significant decision following painful events, and is merely following legal process."

And according to a report filed by NBC yesterday (20 August), Shiloh's name change has officially been made.

The news outlet also claims that the teenager hired and paid for her own lawyer to handle the matter.
