Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s daughter Shiloh is forging ahead with her plan to remove Pitt from her legal name.
The 18-year-old recently published a notice in the Los Angeles Times to announce that she was dropping “Pitt” from her surname. Although it was previously reported that she had taken out an ad, an insider confirmed to Page Six that it was a legal notice.
According to California law , a person is required to publish a request in the notices section of a newspaper that is in general circulation.
The teenager is seeking to change her name from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie.

A rep for the LA Times didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
As Page Six reported, Shiloh filed the petition on her 18th birthday in May, insinuating that she doesn’t want to be associated with her famous father amid his brutal divorce battle with the “Girl, Interrupted” star.

However, Pitt insiders question who was really behind the significant move, telling Page Six, “Reasonable people should draw their own conclusions as to who was actually behind it.”
A source also told People that the “Ocean’s 11” actor was “aware and upset” about his daughter’s actions.
He’s never felt more joy than when she was born. He always wanted a daughter,” the source shared.

“The reminders that he’s lost his children, is of course not easy for Brad. He loves his children and misses them. It’s very sad.”

Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 16, also denounced her father’s surname when she used Vivienne Jolie in the Playbill for the Broadway adaptation of “The Outsiders,” which she worked on as an assistant with her 49-year-old mother.
“It’s extremely upsetting,” a Pitt source admitted to Page Six in June of all the name changes, claiming, “She has used the kids as a weapon against Brad … she has separated them from him.
“There is a whole pattern: Any time he has a win in court, she hits back with something to do with the kids.”

The “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood” star has been embroiled in a custody battle with Jolie since their 2016 split, and the situation has become exponentially more bitter over the years.
