Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, once one of the most talked-about couples globally, have seen their relationship deteriorate into a state of open hostility.
Since their divorce in 2019, the pair, famously known as “Brangelina”, have been embroiled in ongoing legal disputes and public disagreements, along with a series of serious allegations against one another.
Most recently, in April, Jolie submitted court documents to the Los Angeles Superior Court claiming Pitt had physically abused her, a charge he has strongly denied. The former couple is also locked in a contentious dispute over the sale of a French winery they acquired during their marriage.
In a notable development, reports have emerged that Vivienne, one of their daughters, has chosen to drop “Pitt” from her surname. Now, it appears that her sister Shiloh is following suit, taking steps to make this change official.
According to TMZ, Shiloh celebrated her 18th birthday by filing for a legal name change to Shiloh Jolie. The timing of her paperwork submission, on the day she turned 18, suggests that this was one of her first actions as an adult.
While the name change is pending, it seems likely to go through. Shiloh is one of the six children Jolie and Pitt share, and she isn’t the only one showing strained relations with her father.
Recently, Vivienne made headlines when her name appeared in the official Playbill for the production of The Outsiders, which she helped her mother produce, listed simply as Vivienne Jolie. Similarly, 19-year-old Zahara has reportedly begun using the name Zahara Jolie, and the eldest sibling, Maddox, 22, has also dropped ‘Pitt’ from his name.
While Shiloh is the only child to have formally initiated a name change, the broader trend among the siblings suggests a unified stance in support of their mother amid the ongoing tensions with their father.
In 2020, their brother Pax even took to Instagram to express his disdain for Pitt, saying: “You have made the lives of those closest to me a constant hell”.
He added ominously: “You may tell yourself and the world whatever you want, but the truth will come to light someday”, finishing with: “So Happy Father’s Day, you f*****g awful human being”.
91-year-old Joan Collins delights her fans with a stunning swimsuit snapshot
Joan Collins is undeniably a true icon, no matter how you measure size. As she celebrates her 90s, she realizes that her most glamorous and extravagant years are in the past. However, she continues to celebrate life and exude confidence in her own skin.
Many modern celebrities could take notes from Joan Collins on elegance, grace and self-expression. Her life story is simply remarkable and she remains an extraordinary woman. Born in Paddington, London, the actress is best known for her role as Alexis Carrington Colby in the hit soap opera Dynasty.
The show catapulted Joan to international fame, becoming the most-watched program in the United States in 1984. During that time, she earned $15,000 per episode and delighted some 21 million households each week as viewers tuned in to see her wild and cunning characters’ latest schemes.
“She was the first confident woman on television. I took a lot of heat for that. People said she was a ball-buster, so villainous, so ruthless! But I just stood up for myself as an independent woman!” Joan shared with CBS in 2019.
Notably, Collins is still active in the entertainment world, continuing her career nearly 70 years after her on-screen debut. According to Wikipedia, in 2022 she took part in two film projects, Tomorrow Morning and The Gentle Sex, while another film, In Bed with the Duchess, is currently in production.
She also has a strong presence on social media. Last month, as much of the United States faced a bitter cold snap and violent storms, Joan Collins brought her own warmth and flair to the scene.
