Angelina Jolie talks about Shiloh’s privacy and dropping Pitt’s last name
- Angelina Jolie shares updates on her 18-year-old daughter.
- Brad has minimal contact with his adult children, despite the media attention and challenges of fame.
- Angelina remains focused on supporting her children as they navigate their paths in life.
Angelina Jolie recently appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and shared updates about her children, focusing on her 18-year-old daughter, Shiloh Jolie.
In her first talk-show interview in a decade, the Oscar-winning actress discussed how her children are embracing adulthood, pursuing their aspirations, and valuing their privacy. She also highlighted Shiloh’s decision to drop her father’s last name legally.
When Jimmy Fallon asked if her children plan to follow in her and Brad Pitt’s Hollywood footsteps, Angelina revealed that some are considering careers behind the scenes. However, she emphasized that maintaining their privacy remains their top priority.
“I think some of them [would like to work] off-camera, behind the scenes,” Angelina said. “But they really, really wanna be, especially Shiloh, would like to be private.”
Shiloh grabbed headlines earlier this year when she legally dropped “Pitt” from her last name on her 18th birthday. The decision sparked widespread speculation about her relationship with her father, Brad Pitt, after his 2016 divorce from Angelina Jolie.
The name change comes after years of reports suggesting that Brad’s relationship with his children has been strained. Although neither Brad nor Angelina has publicly commented on the issue, sources have revealed that the name change has been difficult for Brad.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s divorce has attracted significant media attention, with continuous reports of tension between Brad and his children. The divorce, filed in 2016, included allegations of an altercation on a private jet involving Brad, Angelina, and their eldest son, Maddox.
A source close to Brad told a news source in June that he is aware of and upset by Shiloh’s decision to change her last name. In July, the outlet reported that Brad has minimal contact with his adult children.
Angelina’s children—Maddox (23), Pax (21), Zahara (19), Shiloh (18), and twins Vivienne and Knox (16)—have grown up in the spotlight as the offspring of one of Hollywood’s most famous couples. Despite the media attention and the challenges of fame, Angelina remains focused on supporting them as they each carve their paths in life.
