Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s recent move to legally change her name to Shiloh Jolie highlights the ongoing turbulence in Brad Pitt’s relationship with his children. Her decision to drop “Pitt” from her name, following in the footsteps of her siblings Maddox, Zahara, and Vivienne, signifies a significant step in distancing herself from her father. The name change request, filed on her 18th birthday, underscores the strained family dynamics that have persisted since Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s 2016 divorce.
Brad Pitt’s efforts to repair his relationship with his children have been ongoing, but it remains a challenging process. The strained ties are reflective of the broader difficulties in the family, as evidenced by the choices of several of his children to either distance themselves from the Pitt surname or minimize its use.
Shiloh’s name change is still pending, but it is expected to be finalized soon, marking a poignant moment in the ongoing saga of Brad Pitt’s relationship with his children.
