Shiloh Jolie Unveils New Identity as ‘Shi’ at L.A. Event
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s Daughter Shiloh Debuts New Name ‘Shi’ During Rare L.A. Appearance.
In a rare public sighting that’s already generating buzz across Hollywood and social media, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s eldest biological daughter, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, has officially debuted a new identity. During a low-key but exclusive event in Los Angeles last week, the 19-year-old revealed she is now going by the name Shi — a simple yet significant change that aligns with her growing sense of individuality.
The appearance, held at the chic Oliver House, celebrated French designer Isabel Marant’s latest capsule collection in collaboration with Net-A-Porter. Attended by a select crowd of creatives and fashion insiders, the event featured a surprise performance by singer-songwriter Luella. But it wasn’t Luella alone who captivated guests — Shi was revealed to have choreographed the evening's standout dance routine, performed by professionals Keoni Rose and Tako Suzuki, who accompanied the live musical set.
Sources from the event confirm that Shi was credited by her new moniker on the event’s program and backstage materials. While it remains uncertain if “Shi” will be her professional or legal name permanently, the switch marks a clear step in her personal journey — and public evolution.
From Shiloh Jolie-Pitt to Simply Shi
The change in name follows a more official move she made just last year. On her 18th birthday, Shiloh reportedly filed court documents to legally remove her father Brad Pitt’s surname, dropping “Pitt” to go by Shiloh Nouvel Jolie. The decision, while not publicly commented on by any family members, reflects ongoing family dynamics amid Angelina and Brad’s protracted and highly publicized divorce and custody battle.
As the daughter of two of the most famous actors in the world, Shi has mostly stayed out of the limelight, despite massive public interest since her birth. However, in recent years, she’s slowly started carving out her own space — and voice — through dance, humanitarian interests, and more intentional public choices.
A Budding Dancer and Creative Force

Shi’s passion for dance is no secret. The talented teen has been spotted multiple times entering and exiting Los Angeles’ Millennium Dance Complex, where numerous top-tier choreographers train aspiring performers. Shi’s participation in choreographing Thursday’s performance signals that she may be shifting from passionate student to budding artist.
In recent paparazzi photos, Shi was seen leaving a rehearsal dressed in a casual dancer’s uniform — sneakers, cargo pants, and a hoodie. Notably, the hoodie bore the logo of United Way, a nonprofit that focuses on poverty and homelessness. The choice may not have been accidental. With a mother who spent years serving as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador and Special Envoy for refugees, Shi has long been exposed to global activism and humanitarian outreach.
She’s previously accompanied her mother on trips to Cambodia, Lebanon, and Turkey, offering a firsthand glimpse into the real-world impact of humanitarian work. Her appearance in United Way attire could be an early indicator that she plans to follow in Angelina’s philanthropic footsteps, perhaps merging artistry and advocacy in her future endeavors.
A Private Life Despite Public Parents
Despite growing up under the media microscope, Shi has made it clear she prefers privacy. Her mother confirmed as much during a 2024 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. When asked whether any of her six children were interested in being in front of the camera, Angelina said: “Some of them, maybe behind the scenes. But especially Shiloh — she wants privacy. She doesn’t want to be photographed. She’s the most private of them all.”
Angelina, 49, shares six children with Brad Pitt: Maddox (23), Pax (21), Zahara (20), Shi (formerly Shiloh, 19), and twins Knox and Vivienne (16). The Jolie-Pitt family dynamic has been the subject of constant media scrutiny since the couple’s high-profile romance began on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004. They married a decade later in 2014 and split just two years afterward, with their divorce dragging through legal battles for nearly eight years before finally being finalized in December 2023.
In a rare interview with GQ earlier this year, Brad Pitt, now 61, downplayed the drama of the divorce. “No, I don’t think it was that major of a thing,” he said. “Just something coming to fruition. Legally.” Pitt added: “It’s been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let’s put it that way.”
Rumors of Romance and Close Friendships
In another subtle yet notable shift in public interest, Shi has also been seen spending time with dancer Keoni Rose — the same artist who performed her choreographed routine. The two were spotted shopping together in Los Angeles, with Keoni affectionately wrapping her arm around Shi’s waist. While neither party has confirmed the nature of their relationship, the moment has sparked speculation and interest in Shi’s personal life.
As the daughter of A-listers and a quiet force emerging in her own right, Shi seems to be balancing the legacy she was born into with a life shaped by her own choices. Whether her new name signifies a complete rebranding or simply a personal stage name, one thing is clear: she is stepping into her own identity — on her terms.
With artistry, privacy, and purpose guiding her path, Shi Jolie may just be Hollywood’s next intriguing enigma.
