Brad Pitt’s 18-year-old daughter, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, has filed to legally change her last name to just Jolie, dropping her father’s name. The decision has reportedly left Pitt upset, according to a source who spoke to People magazine.
Shiloh is Pitt’s first biological child, and he has always been very close to her. The source said that Pitt is ‘aware and upset’ about the name change and that he ‘never felt more joy’ than when Shiloh was born.
The decision to change her name may be related to the ongoing legal proceedings between Pitt and Jolie over their French winery, Château Miraval. Jolie has accused Pitt of physical and verbal abuse and has alleged that he refused to allow her to sell her shares in the winery.
In recent court developments, a judge ruled that Jolie must provide all the NDAs related to her ownership of Château Miraval. This ruling is seen by Jolie’s lawyers as opening the door to discovery on all issues related to Pitt’s alleged abuse.
The name change and the ongoing legal battle highlight the complex family dynamics and conflicts between Pitt and Jolie. The once-celebrated Hollywood power couple has been embroiled in a lengthy and bitter divorce and custody dispute.
