Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter officially changes name

Shiloh, 18, now reportedly goes by a new title after having dropped her father, Brad Pitt's surname

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Shiloh has now officially dropped her father's surname, according to reports.

The news comes just weeks after reports emerged revealing that the former couple's daughters Vivienne and Zahara had also made the same decision.

The triple name-changes follow in the wake of Jolie and Pitt's shock separation in 2016 - cited due to 'irreconcilable differences' - after 12 years together.

Since then, the parents-of-six have reportedly remained at loggerheads - especially after Pitt, now 60, attempted to sue his ex-wife and Mr and Mrs Smith co-star, 49, for selling her share of their jointly-purchased French winery Chateau Miraval to a third party.

Jolie subsequently filed a countersuit in 2022, alleging that her ex had been abusive to herself and her children during a 2016 flight on a private jet.

The A-list duo's cross-complaint alleged that Pitt had 'choked' one of their six children onboard the flight, and 'struck another in the face'.

The Oceans Eleven star is also alleged to have 'grabbed' his wife 'by the head', and 'poured beer and red wine on the children'.

Pitt's representatives have consistently denied these accusations.

Their eldest daughter Zahara, 19, firstly made the decision to drop 'Pitt' from her name after she reportedly introduced herself as just Zahara Jolie after joining her sorority at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, last year.

Back in May, it was also reported that the couple's youngest daughter Vivienne - who was born to the pair along with her twin brother, Knox, back in 2008 - had made the same decision.

And in a third bombshell revelation, it was claimed the same month that their daughter Shiloh, 18, had followed in her siblings' footsteps.

According to a statement released at the time by her lawyer Peter Levine, the youngster launched legal proceedings to change her name from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie on her 18th birthday in May.

"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," Levine told People.

And according to a source familiar with the matter - who spoke to NBC News this week - the legal change to Shiloh's name has now been made.

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

Levine also previously denied reports that Shiloh had taken out an 'ad' to supposedly announce her name change.

"Shiloh Jolie did not take out an 'ad' announcing any name change, and any press reporting that is inaccurate." he said.

"As Shiloh's attorney, I am required to publish a legal notice because the law in California requires that of anyone who wants to change their name.

"That legal notice was published in The Los Angeles Times, as is required."

Tyla has contacted Jolie and Pitt's representatives for comment.
