Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s eldest biological daughter, has recently made the decision to drop her estranged father’s last name. She filed legal paperwork for the change on Memorial Day, May 27, which was also the day Shiloh turned 18, becoming an adult. She is one of Jolie and Pitt’s three biological children, along with three adopted children.
Shiloh Nouvel, Zahara Marley, and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt have recently taken steps to legally remove their father’s surname from their own. Shiloh has decided to go by the name Zahara Jolie, dropping the “Pitt” altogether. Similarly, Zahara Marley Jolie has chosen to introduce herself without the hyphenated surname that previously connected her to her father.
Vivienne Marcheline, who has already made a name for herself in the entertainment industry by producing the Broadway show “The Outsiders,” has also decided to distance herself from the Pitt name. In a recent publication of Playbill, she was credited as “Vivienne Jolie” instead of her previous name, signaling her desire to establish her own identity separate from her father’s.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt initiated their romantic relationship in the year 2005, a time when Pitt was still legally married to actress Jennifer Aniston. Despite the controversy surrounding their budding romance, Jolie and Pitt eventually tied the knot in 2014 in a private ceremony that was attended by their six children.
However, their marital bliss was short-lived as in 2016, Jolie made the difficult decision to file for divorce from Pitt. The reason cited for their separation was an alleged incident that took place on a private plane involving Pitt and their children. This incident sparked a series of legal battles between the former couple, as they fought over the division of their assets and custody of their children.
Since the filing of the divorce papers, Jolie and Pitt have been embroiled in a lengthy and highly publicized court battle. The legal proceedings have been complex and drawn out, with both parties seeking to protect their interests and secure a favorable outcome. The ongoing dispute has garnered significant media attention, with fans and onlookers closely following the developments in the high-profile split.
