Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Shiloh has filed to change her name.

Jolie and Pitt's 18-year-old daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has filed to drop "Pitt" from her surname, someone familiar with the matter tells PEOPLE and confirmed in documents obtained by PEOPLE. The teenager is requesting a new legal name, hoping to go by simply "Shiloh Jolie."

The documents were filed on Monday, May 27, which also happened to be Shiloh's 18th birthday. TMZ first reported the news.

Jolie and Pitt share six kids together — Maddox, 22, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, Pax, 20, Knox, 15, and Vivienne, 15.

Shiloh isn't the only child of Jolie and Pitt to appear to go by a different name. In the Playbill for the new musical The Outsiders, which their daughter Vivienne helped mom Jolie produce, the teenager is listed as “Vivienne Jolie" instead of "Vivienne Jolie-Pitt," PEOPLE confirmed.

At this time, it is not clear if Vivienne has also legally changed her name.

Last November, while joining the Mu Pi chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority at her university, Spelman College, the former couple's eldest daughter Zahara introduced herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie,” a video shared by Essence showed.

All three apparent name changes come after years of reports of strain in Pitt’s relationship with his children since Jolie first filed for divorce and sole physical custody of their kids in 2016.

In August 2022, a Pitt source told PEOPLE that the actor, 60, was hoping to soon reach a better place with his children amid the exes’ ongoing custody battle. They explained that “it's been a sad situation for years.”

“Since Angelina filed for divorce, Brad has been focused on having the best relationship possible with his kids,” the insider said. “It's been very difficult for him. Many times, there have been long gaps where he didn't see the kids at all."

As the exes have battled in court over custody and their winery Chateau Miraval, Jolie's lawyer said in a recent statement to PEOPLE: "All Angelina has ever wanted was separation and health, with positive relationships between all members of their family, including Mr. Pitt."
