Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, the first biological child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, turned 19 on May 27—a milestone birthday likely celebrated quietly with her mother and five siblings. Known for her low-key lifestyle and deep sense of individuality, Shiloh has grown into her own both in style and spirit.
In recent years, Shiloh has been experimenting with fashion, often spotted in comfortable, oversized clothing and even repurposing iconic pieces from her mother’s wardrobe. One memorable moment was at the Eternals premiere in 2021, where she wore a black Dior dress previously worn by Angelina in 2019.
In 2024, Shiloh also made headlines for getting her first tattoo: a tiny Gemini symbol on her wrist. The minimalist design not only reflects her zodiac sign but is a quiet tribute to her mother, who shares the same star sign.
Despite these rare public glimpses, Shiloh remains fiercely private. In a 2024 interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Angelina spoke about her children’s preferences when it comes to fame. “Some of them prefer to work behind the scenes,” she said. “But especially Shiloh—she really just wants to be private. Not photographed. She values that most.”
Shiloh’s decision to legally remove “Pitt” from her surname after turning 18 earlier this year further signaled her desire to assert independence. Given that she hasn’t been seen publicly with Brad Pitt since 2014, the choice, though personal, didn’t come as a surprise to many observers.
Their last joint appearance took place at the Unbroken premiere in Hollywood in December 2014. Then just eight years old, Shiloh attended the event alongside siblings Maddox and Pax. Wearing a tailored black suit with a crisp white shirt and black tie, she stood confidently beside her father on the red carpet. At the time, she was affectionately known as “John,” a name she preferred among family and friends.
In a 2008 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Brad explained her name choice: “She only wants to be called John. John or Peter. It’s a Peter Pan thing. So we’ve got to call her John… And then I’ll say, ‘John, would you like some orange juice?’ And she goes, ‘No!’”
Born in Namibia on May 27, 2006, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt was the couple’s first biological child, joining a growing family that already included Maddox and Zahara. In the years that followed, Angelina and Brad adopted Pax and later welcomed twins Knox and Vivienne.
Now entering adulthood, Shiloh continues to chart her own path—quietly, confidently, and always on her own terms.
