    Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is moving forward with legally dropping Pitt from her name

    Almost two months after the daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt filed legal papers on her 18th birthday, May 27, to drop her father's surname, she has completed the next phase of the process; publishing an announcement in a newspaper.


    A notice recently appeared in the Los Angeles Times newspaper, announcing that Shiloh has filed to change her name to Shiloh Jolie.

    According to California law, before a judge can approve a petition for a name change, the petitioner must have the legal forms published in a newspaper for one month.

    Shiloh's name change comes after another of the former couple's children - Vivienne, 15 - also dropped the name Pitt for her inclusion in the Playbill for Broadway show 'The Outsiders', which she worked on backstage alongside her mother.

    The former couple's children are believed to have a strained relationship with their movie star dad ever since their parents split in 2016.

    While Vivienne is working in theatre, Shiloh is believed to be looking at a career as a dancer.

    A video of her dancing recently went viral when it was shared by choreographer Lil Kelaan Carter, and an insider insisted Shiloh is "dedicated" and "hard-working" when it comes to her vocation.

    A source told 'Entertainment Tonight': "Shiloh is an exceptionally talented dancer, displaying both dedication and hard work. She doesn't rely on her famous name to achieve her goals."

    The insider noted that Shiloh would "never use" the celebrity status of her mother or father to boost her own fame, even though they reasoned that it could be "difficult" for people around the world to understand that.

    They added: "Shi is a sincere and straightforward person who never uses her celebrity status to her advantage. I understand that it can be difficult to see the person beyond her celebrity status, but I urge you to make an effort for her. Believe me, it's worth it."

    Angelina and Brad also share four other children, Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, and Vivienne's twin Knox, 15.
