Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has been in the spotlight since her birth. Now, at 18, she’s beginning to carve out her own place in the celebrity world.
Shiloh was born to Hollywood icons Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt in the Namibian town of Swakopmund, and her arrival was met with widespread excitement. Exclusive birth photos were shared by People, and the story captured the public’s attention. Born on May 27, 2006, Shiloh joined her siblings Maddox, Pax, and Zahara, becoming the fourth child in the Jolie-Pitt family. Here’s a look at her journey from birth to her teenage years.
The Early Years
When Shiloh was born, Brad Pitt was right there with Angelina. Shiloh was their first biological child, joining her adopted siblings Maddox, Pax, and Zahara. Angelina’s brother, James Haven, shared that seeing Brad and Angelina with their newborn daughter was an overwhelming experience. Shiloh inherited Brad’s eyes and Angelina’s distinctive lips.
James Haven visited the hospital in Namibia with Maddox, Angelina’s oldest child, who quickly embraced his role as a big brother. Maddox had been prepared for Shiloh’s arrival by Angelina, who ensured he understood the changes a new sibling would bring.
Brad’s parents, Bill and Jane Pitt, also flew to Namibia to meet their granddaughter. Angelina’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand, expressed her joy over Shiloh’s birth as well.
Welcoming Twins
Two years after Shiloh’s birth, the family welcomed twins Knox and Vivienne. Delivered by Dr. Michael Sussman via caesarean section, the twins arrived healthy, weighing just over five pounds each. Brad remained a pillar of support for Angelina throughout the birth.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Angelina gushed about her children, describing Shiloh as “hysterically funny” and one of the most playful members of the family. She noted Shiloh’s resemblance to her younger self, recalling her own childhood antics.
A Unique Personality
Angelina once said Shiloh had inherited Brad’s physical features, but she affectionately called her the “outcast of the family” due to her blonde hair and blue eyes. Angelina admitted to having initial doubts about having a biological child, but watching Brad with Zahara and Maddox reassured her.
Shiloh’s parents have always supported her individuality. In an Oprah Winfrey interview, Brad shared that Shiloh once preferred to be called “John” and enjoyed dressing like a boy. Angelina supported Shiloh’s choices, noting that she admired her brothers’ styles and wanted similar haircuts and clothes.
Embracing Self-Expression
Angelina described Shiloh’s typical style as including pants, jackets, and ties. She emphasized that it was important to let Shiloh be herself, calling it bad parenting to do otherwise.
Despite their turbulent divorce, Brad and Angelina have maintained strong relationships with their children. Brad is particularly proud of Shiloh for staying true to herself. According to sources, Brad often speaks about how much he learns from his children, putting parenting above all else.
Shiloh’s Red Carpet Evolution
In 2021, Shiloh surprised fans with a stunning appearance at the “Eternals” premiere in Los Angeles, wearing a dress and ballet flats. This marked a departure from her usual red carpet outfits, which typically included pants. She looked strikingly similar to Angelina as she posed with her siblings.
Angelina has often described Shiloh’s style as androgynous, even coining the term “Montenegro” to describe it. Shiloh prefers suits and tracksuits, embodying a “little dude” look, according to her mother.
Exploring New Interests
At 18, Shiloh has developed an interest in dance, participating in several choreographies by Hamilton Evans. Brad, who once dreamed of dancing himself, takes great pride in Shiloh’s achievements. Although he never pursued dancing professionally, Brad enjoys dancing in his daily life and is thrilled to see Shiloh excel in it.
Recently, Shiloh debuted a new look with a pink buzz cut. Spotted in Studio City, she wore denim jeans, a black T-shirt, and carried a black bag. Fans praised her new style, noting her resemblance to both of her famous parents. Some commented on her likeness to Brad, especially with the buzz cut, while others saw Angelina’s features in her.
A Star in Her Own Right
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt continues to captivate the public with her evolving style and personality. As she steps into adulthood, she remains a beloved figure, embodying the unique blend of her parents’ characteristics while forging her own path in the world.
