Here’s all you need to know about Shiloh Jolie-Pitt

For those of you who don’t know, let us tell you Shiloh Jolie-Pitt was born in the year 2006. Angelina Jolie gave birth to her and Brad’s first biological child, a daughter on May 27, 2006, in Swakopmund, Namibia. The duo named their daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.

Just like her famous parents, Shiloh is not a stereotypical kid. She began breaking the mould and defying expectations of who and what she should be right from a young age.

During an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2008, Jolie opened up about raising her daughter Shiloh. At the time, the Mr. & Mrs. Smith actress said, “She only wants to be called John. John or Peter. It’s a Peter Pan thing. And then I’ll say, ‘John, would you like some orange juice?’ And she goes, ‘No!’”

In an earlier interaction with Vanity Fair, Angelina stated that Shiloh has been exploring her gender since she was three. At the time, Jolie told the media outlet, “She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boy clothes. She thinks she’s one of her brothers.”

There’s a sad story behind the name of Jolie’s daughter Shiloh

Shiloh is quite a unique name in itself. How did Angelina and Brad come up with their daughter’s name? In an interview with Vanity Fair, Jolie revealed the sad story behind the name of her daughter.

The 47-year-old said, “It was a name my parents almost named their first child – there was a miscarriage: Shiloh Baptist. Because my father had been shooting in Georgia and that was the most Southern name [my parents] could come up with.”

Angelina further added, “It’s a name I always liked. I used to go under it in hotels: Shiloh Baptist. I’d gone under it when Brad called hotel rooms where I was staying.”

Shiloh had a big surgery in 2020

The start of the year 2020 was not at all easy for Shiloh, she stepped into the year with an unnamed surgical procedure. In March of the same year, Jolie penned down a personal note for Time in honor of International Women’s Day.

Angelina wrote, “I have spent the last two months in and out of surgeries with my eldest daughter [Zahara], and days ago watched her younger sister [Shiloh] go under the knife for hip surgery.”

The Eternals star went on to say, “So my wish on this day is that we value girls. Care for them. And know that the stronger they grow, the healthier they will be and the more they will give back to their family and community.”

Angelina did not disclose the name of the surgery that her daughter Shiloh underwent but she assured the readers it was no surprise to the kids that she was telling the world. She continued, “They know that I am writing this, because I respect their privacy and we discussed it together and they encouraged me to write.”

Shiloh quarantined with her siblings and mom during the pandemic

At the time of the Covid-19 pandemic, E! News revealed that Shiloh and her siblings were quarantined with their mom in their house. The media outlet said, “All the kids are home with Angelina but they have continued seeing Brad and go over for their regular visits.”

E! News continued, “They are keeping up with their schoolwork, practicing their languages, playing instruments, board games, and helping cook dinner.”

Shiloh inspired her mom Jolie’s interest in the film ‘The One and Only Ivan’

While speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Angelina said “Well, Shiloh years ago told me that she had read a book that she loved and she wanted me to read it. I read it on my own and then we looked at some of it together and talked about why she loved it.”

Jolie further added, “Then, I inquired if it was being made – as you do – into a film, and I found out that it was kind of in the works but kind of hadn’t been figured out.” Soon afterward, she even decided to become one of the producers of the film which was released in August 2020.

The One and Only Ivan is a 2020 American fantasy drama film directed by Thea Sharrock. The movie is based on the 2012 children’s novel of the same name by K. A. Applegate.

  1. When did Angelina start letting Shiloh be a girl. She has dressed her as a boy since the age of two. It is my opinion that she was jealous because her daughter was going to be better looking than her.

  2. You know damn well that Angelina Pitt hated the fact, at a very early age, that her DAUGHTER had weird tendencies. Look at many of the kids early pics. Mrs. Pitt constantly put over the top red lipstick on the sad child. But in public she “SUPPORTED” any freakish fantasy the little GIRL wanted. Another ADAMS FAMILY, like Madonna’s. Look at both families pics. No one is smiling. Except Brad Pitt. He’s out of there!!!
