Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s Daughter Shiloh Granted Name Change, Will Go by Shiloh Jolie

The 18-year-old filed to drop “Pitt” from her last name on her birthday in May

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter Shiloh has been granted her name change.

The 18-year-old, who was born Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, will now legally go by Shiloh Jolie, PEOPLE has confirmed. The teenager first filed to drop “Pitt” from her last name on her 18th birthday in May.

Alongside Shiloh, Jolie, 49, and Pitt, 60, share five other kids together — Maddox, 22, Zahara, 19, Pax, 20, Knox, 15, and Vivienne, 15.

In July, Shiloh’s petition to change her name was postponed after a court delayed her hearing due to an incomplete background check.

“Unfortunately, the court was unable to complete the background check ahead of today’s hearing, so the hearing was rescheduled for August 19,” her lawyer Peter Levine said at the time in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.

“Everyone undergoing a name-change request needs to have a background check conducted by the court clerk, and because of clerical error, Shiloh’s hearing has been continued to a new date.”

In July, Shiloh moved forward with the next step in California’s name-change process, which required her to publish an announcement in the Los Angeles Times announcing that she has filed to change her name to simply “Shiloh Jolie.”

According to California law, before a judge can approve a petition to change one’s name, they must have the legal forms published in a newspaper for one month. Once published, the request will then show up in the legal notice section of the paper.

Shortly after Shiloh’s petition was filed this past May, a source close to Pitt shared with PEOPLE that the Wolfs actor was “aware” of the change.

“He’s aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name,” said the source. “The reminders that he’s lost his children, is of course not easy for Brad. He loves his children and misses them.”
