Shiloh Jolie-Pitt Life: Even though they are two of the most well-known actors in the world, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are merely Mom and Dad to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt.
On May 27, 2006, the former couple gave birth to their third child. Maddox and Zahara, two older siblings, came before Shiloh, and then Pax and the twins Knox and Vivienne.
Jolie expressed her initial reluctance about being a mother in a TIME article, saying that because of her turbulent upbringing, she “never thought” she could. “I recall making the decision to have children. Loving wasn’t difficult. Making a commitment to someone or something bigger than myself wasn’t difficult, she wrote. What was challenging was realising that going forward, I would have to be the one to ensure everything was in order.
The Eternals actress continued by saying it was “impossible” to be a perfect parent. “Your kids don’t expect you to be perfect. They only ask that you be sincere, she wrote. “They may grow stronger the more room they have to excel where you are weak. It all comes down to the team you create. They are also raising you up in a way. You develop jointly.
Shiloh, who Jolie once referred to as a “little honey” when she was younger, marked the beginning of that growth. Jolie said about Shi, “Shi’s so full of light and love… and very, very funny,” to MSN in 2007. She’s going to be a little bit of trouble, but I think I see a little bit of myself in that one.”
Pitt has also enjoyed watching Shiloh’s character develop over time. In 2022, he told Entertainment Tonight, “I love [my kids] to find their own way, find things they’re interested in, find their own voice, and flourish.”
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt Birth
According to a PEOPLE exclusive, the rising star was born on May 27, 2006, in Swakopmund, Namibia. The birth was hailed as “an honour for our country” by the local governor, Samuel Nuuyoma, who also noted that the “delightful news” of a newborn is “something very special in our African tradition.”
According to Namibian legislation, Shiloh “will be allowed to obtain Namibian citizenship if the parents should choose to do so,” said Deputy Minister Leon Jooste, adding that Jolie and Pitt were “thoroughly overjoyed.”

Just two months later, baby Shiloh got her own wax figure at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in New York City. Shiloh’s parents may be seen standing behind her cradle in the wax replica.
Shiloh made her movie debut with her father in 2008’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button as a baby.She turned down the opportunity to play a young Aurora in her mother’s 2014 movie Maleficent.
Shiloh laughed in my face when I asked her about being Aurora, Jolie said to Elle. “She said she’d be a horned creature.” Vivienne, her younger sister, stepped in to fill the position. In Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016), Shiloh voiced Shuai Shuai.
So what are her parents’ thoughts on a possible acting career? Brad and I made the choice that we wouldn’t keep children from sets and the excitement of producing films, but we wouldn’t [glorify it either]’, Jolie told the publication. But I honestly would rather they take a different action.
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt Life
Over the years, Shiloh has modelled her mother’s fashion. She replicated Jolie’s appearance from two years prior when she donned a patterned black-and-white Dior dress to the Eternals premiere in London in 2021.
Jolie has always been incredibly supportive of her daughter’s style decisions. Jolie told Reuters in 2010: “I think she is fascinating, the choices she is making.”The One and Only Ivan star Angelina Jolie reveals that her latest role was inspired by her daughter Shiloh.
“I would never be the type of parent to make my child into someone she is not. That is just poor parenting, in my opinion,” she remarked. Children should be free to express themselves whatever they want without fear of criticism since doing so is crucial to their development.
The pleased mother continued, “Society always has much to learn about how we categorise and criticise one another. It’s a long way to go.
Shiloh has trained at a prestigious dance facility in Los Angeles, despite the fact that she hasn’t publicly acknowledged her love of dance.
Pitt said to ET that he doesn’t know how Shiloh picked up her talent (he referred to himself as “Mr. Two Left Feet”), but he too likes to dance.
“Dance now has a place in my future. Or my present,” Pitt said in 2023 to W Magazine. Simply in life. Recently, I discovered that I was enjoying a little dancing.

Jolie released a picture of Shiloh on a trip to Cambodia in 2022; this is the country where her brother Maddox was born. Jolie captioned the photo, “A few days in Cambodia among the friendly native people, and I feel my spirit is recovering. For my family and I, this has always been a great place to live.
