Brad Pitt's feelings about daughter Shiloh's 'unexpected' name change 'revealed'

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who share six children, parted ways in 2016 due to 'irreconcilable differences'

Last week (29 May), Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's daughter, Shiloh, debuted her brand-new artist name.

The 19-year-old, who is just one of the former married couple's six children —Maddox, 23, Zahara, 20, Pax, 21, Knox, 16, and Vivienne, 16—attended an event that celebrated the launch of fashion designer Isabel Marant's collection with Net-A-Porter.

She served as a choreographer for musician Luella, who performed her newly-released single 'Naïve' at the dinner with two dancers, Keoni Rose and Tako Suzuko, but her credited name was quite at odds with the one she was born with.

Shiloh was listed as 'Shi Joli' - a moniker that pays homage to her Girl, Interrupted star mother while shortening her legal name.

Additionally, it has no reference to her father's 'Pitt' surname at all.

She, like a few of her siblings, appears to have totally dropped the 'Pitt' from her previously double-barrelled name.

The news of Shiloh's new artist moniker comes after a legal ruling which took place year - an 'unexpected' move' which Brad reportedly was extremely 'upset' over.

The ruling in question stated that the teenager, who was born Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, could now legally go by Shiloh Jolie, People Magazine reported at the time.

Shiloh first began making steps to change her name last May, as per a statement released at the time by her lawyer Peter Levine, who told the outlet: "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.

"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."

Just one week after the teen decided to drop 'Pitt' from her last name, Brad reportedly opened up about being 'upset' over such a change.

A source close to the father-of-six told People at the time: "He’s aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name. He’s never felt more joy than when she was born. He always wanted a daughter."

They added: "The reminders that he’s lost his children, is of course not easy for Brad. He loves his children and misses them. It’s very sad."

"He’s still happy with Ines [de Ramon]," the source continues, referencing Brad's new partner, but the distance from his children 'pains him'.
