Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is on a wild ride to legally untangle herself from the Brad half of her famous double-barreled surname!
In a move that screams “independence” louder than a teenager borrowing the car for the first time, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s 18-year-old progeny has taken another giant leap in her quest to become just “Shiloh Jolie.”
Picture this: Shiloh saunters into a courtroom, cape fluttering behind her, announcing to the world via the Los Angeles Times that she’s filed the paperwork to shed the “Pitt” part of her name like a snake sheds its skin. And she’s doing it in the most dramatic, headline-grabbing way possible—by plastering it all over the papers since June 17.
Apparently, in California, you can’t just waltz into a judge’s chambers and say, “Hey, I want a new name.” No, no! First, you have to play a little game of hide-and-seek with the legal notice section of a newspaper for a whole month. It’s like the legal equivalent of yelling, “Extra, extra! Read all about it!” every week until everyone gets the memo.
Shiloh kicked off this name-changing escapade right on her 18th birthday in late May. Talk about a milestone! While most people are content with cake and maybe a new car, Shiloh was like, “Nah, I’m good. I’ll just change my name, thanks.”
And what’s the reaction from dear old dad, Brad, who’s hitting the big 6-0? Word on the street is he’s “aware” and “upset.” Probably as upset as someone who’s just realized they’ve been unfollowed by their own child on social media. But hey, if there’s one thing this family knows how to do, it’s keeping us entertained!
Stay tuned, because the Shiloh saga is far from over. Next up, we’ll see if the judge gives the green light to the name change. If you listen closely, you might just hear the sound of Hollywood gasping.
