A year after dropping Brad Pitt's name, Angelina Jolie's daughter Shiloh debuts her new name
At an event in Los Angeles, the 19-year-old made an appearance at a dinner hosted to celebrate fashion designer Isabel Marant's new collection. Music artist Luella performed at the event with two other dancers, and the press release for the event had the choreographer's name written as Shi Jolie. Born Shiloh Nouvel Jolie Pitt, she appealed to change her name back in May 2024, when she decided to drop father Brad's name. Pitt and Jolie have 5 other kids: Maddox (23), Zahara (20), Pax (21), Knox (16), and Vivienne (16).

Other kids of the couple have also taken steps to distance themselves from their father's name, as Zahara and Vivienne have introduced themselves with just their mother's name on several occasions. Vivienne was part of a musical called The Outsiders, and the playbill had her name written as Vivienne Jolie. Zahara introduced herself only using her mother's name when she joined Spelman College last year. Though Brad has made no comment on Shiloh's latest stage name, he has talked about the previous changes to PEOPLE magazine. He said that he is 'aware of the change' and that the reminder that he has lost his children is not very nice and that he misses them.
Back in 2016, the original appeal for the divorce came after the infamous 'plane' incident when Pitt was accused by an anonymous bystander of abusing his children. While the story was never confirmed from either side, sources close to the couple reported that the incident was a verbal altercation between Jolie and Pitt, which was not handled properly.

Have Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet NOT Broken Up? Sources Reveal How Busy Schedules Changed Relationship
Kylie Jenner's recent social media post sparked speculations over her breakup with Timothée Chalamet. While the fans wonder what could have gone wrong, sources close to the couple revealed that they are still together. The reason behind Jenner and Chalamet not being with each other is their busy work schedules. While the actor is currently in Budapest filming for his upcoming movie, Dune 3, the media personality is also tied up with work and is also a mom of two, which makes it difficult to fly out with the movie star. Have Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet not split up? According to an insider, who conversed with PEOPLE, 'They haven't seen each other for a few weeks only because Timothée's been filming Dune in a studio in Budapest, and Kylie's been working too,' referring to the rumors of the couple splitting up. They further explained, 'But even though Kylie has a private jet, the flight is still 12 hours. She's a mom, and she works as well. She has a lot of responsibilities in LA. Timothée's schedule is grueling, with very little downtime.' A source went on to reveal that Jenner had visited her boyfriend at the filming location in July. They went on to say that despite the distance, the duo is trying to make it work, as they have been in touch via FaceTime. Meanwhile, the rumors of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star splitting up from Chalamet began to fire up soon after Jenner attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding in Venice alone. Earlier this month, the mom of two also shared a screenshot of the songs she had been listening to, and the list included breakup tracks like Lover, You Should've Come Over by Jeff Buckley. Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have been with each other since early 2023.
