Brad Pitt’s daughter Shiloh requests to DROP surname Pitt
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie‘s daughter, Shiloh, has officially requested to drop ‘Pitt’ from her surname in court documents obtained by TMZ on Thursday.
The dancer filed the paperwork on her 18th birthday which took place on Monday, May 27 and has asked that her new legal name be Shiloh Jolie.
The action comes shortly after it was revealed that the Bullet Train actor, 60, wants to repair his ‘broken’ bond with the 18-year-old.
According to the outlet, his other children: Vivienne, Zahara and Maddox – whom he shares with ex Angelina Jolie – also reportedly don’t use Pitt as their surname, although they haven’t made filings to legally change their names.
Shiloh’s request has yet to be approved due to filing the documents just days earlier on Memorial Day.

Brad and Angelina share biological children Shiloh as well as twins Knox and Vivienne, 15, and three adopted children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20 and also Zahara, 19.
The pair began dating after Pitt and then-wife, Jennifer Aniston, announced their divorce in 2005.
The two later tied the knot in 2014, with the Maleficent actress filing for divorce in 2016 after only two years of marriage. Three years later in 2019, Brad and Angelina were declared legally single.
However, the stars are still embroiled in an ongoing divorce battle and the actor reportedly has a strained relationship with this children.
DailyMail.com revealed earlier this month that the couple’s former bodyguard had accused Jolie of trying to poison their kids’ bond with their father.
A source close to the star recently told DailyMail.com that the actor is ‘confident’ he can strengthen his relationship with budding dancer, Shiloh, following her 18th birthday.
The insider explained the reasoning is because she is now legally an adult, and therefore free to make her own decisions about the time they spend together.
‘Now that Shiloh is 18, she can make up her own mind as far as how she wants her relationship with her father to develop.’

The source went on to say that since the couple split, the actress has made sure their children have had ‘limited involvement’ with their father.
‘It is still that way with the underage ones, but with Shiloh that is no longer Angie’s choice,’ they continued. ‘If Shiloh chooses to have limited contact with her dad, that is her decision.’
The source said that Pitt would still ‘love her unconditionally,’ no matter what she chose to do.
‘The difference between now and [a few] days ago [before her birthday] is that Shiloh makes the choice,’ they pointed out.
The insider continued saying that now he can contact his daughter without repercussions from Jolie.
‘Everyone is confident that they will, in time, rekindle the bond that was broken by the divorce,’ they said confidently. Keeping Shiloh from Brad is no longer an option for Angelina.’
