Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's Daughter Shiloh Made Decision to Change Last Name After 'Painful Events'

Shiloh Jolie's decision to drop Pitt from her last name was 'an independent and significant decision following painful events,' her attorney tells PEOPLE in a new statement. The daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt filed to make the official name change on her 18th birthday on May 27, 2024.

“The media should be more careful in their reporting,” Levine said, “especially when covering a young adult who has made an independent and significant decision following painful events, and is merely following legal process.” Shiloh’s name change petition comes after a source close to the family told PEOPLE in July that Pitt, 60, has "virtually no contact" with his adult children, but still has visitation with his younger kids, following his split from Jolie, 49, in 2016. A separate source close to Pitt told PEOPLE at the time that, “He still loves all of his kids tremendously,” adding, “This whole process has been very hard for the whole family."
