THE EVOLUTION OF SHILOH: HOW ANGELINA JOLIE’S DAUGHTER SHATTERED EXPECTATIONS WITH A NAME AND LIFE TRANSFORMATION

June 3, 2025: Shiloh Jolie, the 19-year-old daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has introduced a new professional moniker, “Shi Joli,” marking a significant step in her artistic journey. This debut occurred during a fashion event in Los Angeles, where she was credited as the choreographer for a dance performance at the launch of Isabel Marant’s capsule collection with Net-A-Porter.

Dropping the Pitt Name

The name change follows her legal decision in August 2024 to drop “Pitt” from her surname, becoming Shiloh Jolie. She managed this process independently, hiring and compensating her own attorney — a move that made headlines for both its maturity and symbolic significance.

A Pattern Among Jolie’s Daughters

Shiloh’s sisters have made similar choices in recent years. Zahara introduced herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie” at a sorority event in 2023, while Vivienne dropped “Pitt” in a Broadway playbill for The Outsiders, where she was listed as “Vivienne Jolie.”

Brad Pitt’s Reported Response

While Shiloh continues to embrace her independence and passion for dance, her father Brad Pitt has reportedly been saddened by the name changes. Sources close to the actor say he feels distanced and heartbroken over the family rift, especially as more of his children begin removing his surname.

Shiloh’s Focus on Dance and Art

Despite the public attention surrounding her personal decisions, Shiloh remains focused on her career in the arts. She has trained for years at the prestigious Millennium Dance Complex and is now stepping into creative leadership with her choreography work. Her new identity as “Shi Joli” reflects her artistic aspirations and evolving public persona.
