After Shiloh Pitt returned to her previous short hairstyle, she started to look more like her father, Brad Pitt. The actor is proud of the person Shiloh has become and always calls her beautiful. As much as he can, Brad does everything in his power to see his children, even if his ex-wife, Angeline Jolie, is against it.
Like every other person, Shiloh had to navigate through the different stages of her early life. She’s still continuing to find herself, but because of her famous parents, she has to do it in front of the whole world.
Shiloh was born to A-lister parents Angeline Jolie and Brad Pitt, and because of the names she carries, eyes are always on her and her siblings. Living under a microscope meant that Shiloh’s actions were met with praise or criticism from the public.

Shiloh has changed in appearance through the years, going from a boyish look during her adolescent years to having long blonde locks as a teen. In 2010, her mom claimed Shiloh had a Montenegro style and saw herself as one of her brothers. Angelina said :
“She likes tracksuits [and] she likes [regular] suits. So it’s a suit with a tie and jacket and slacks, or a tracksuit. She likes to dress like a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys’ everything.”
However, Shiloh debuted a new look during the 2021 “Eternals” premiere in Los Angeles. As she walked the red carpet, the young adult turned heads in a black and white tank dress and ballet shoes. Her style was particularly noticed as she usually wore slacks in previous red-carpet events.
While she continues to experiment with her style, Shiloh found an unexpected hobby that her parents do not do – dancing. In 2022, Shiloh’s dancing video on YouTube racked up millions of views. The clip, filmed at Millennium Dance Complex, featured the teenager showing impressive moves to Doja Cat’s “Vegas.”

Shiloh’s new look particularly caught the attention of the media because of the long blonde hair she used to have before cutting it short.
This wasn’t the first time Shiloh showed her skills on social media. Previously, she was spotted dancing another Hamilton Evans choreographed routine to Rihanna’s “Skin” and a Coby Mosby choreographed dance to Ed Sheeran’s “Shivers.”
Although dance isn’t their expertise, Brad and Angelina are proud and supportive of their daughter as she pursues a craft of her liking. The former couple remains protective of their daughter and tries to shield her from the spotlight.
Shiloh Criticized for Her New Short Hair
While Shiloh is praised for her talent on the dance floor, she receives criticism in other aspects of her life. Shiloh welcomed 2023 with a new look as she returned to short hair, sporting a buzz cut not too far from her father’s hairstyle.
She was spotted shopping with her 18-year-old sister, Zarah Jolie-Pitt, donning a black hoodie, gray shorts, and black sneakers. The siblings were all smiles as they walked across the parking lot.

Interestingly, her dad debuted a shorter haircut during this year’s Golden Globes award . Brad’s new hairstyle took years off his face, making him look more like his late ’90s self. Like his daughter, the “Bullet Train” star previously sported longer tresses before trimming them down.
With Shiloh’s new do, she showed more resemblance to her father. Sadly, her look was met with criticism amongst social media users. On Hollywood Life’s Facebook account, some readers shared their two cents regarding Shiloh in the comments section. One person said :
“She looked so beautiful when she embraced her feminine side.”

Another Facebook user also claimed that the actor’s daughter looked better with long tresses than with her new buzz cut.
Regardless of her chosen hairstyle, Shiloh’s parents find her nothing less than perfect. In 2022, Brad Pitt praised her daughter during a red-carpet event at the Regency Village Theatre, calling her “very beautiful.”
“I don’t know where she got it from,” he said , adding that her beauty paired with talent “brings a tear to the eye.” Brad doesn’t care much for his children’s choice of career as long as their decisions bring them happiness and fulfillment.

While Brad and Angelina agree on some aspects of their parenthood, they have not always seen eye to eye when it comes to other matters, including those that include their children and joint assets.
Regardless if Shiloh wants to follow in the entertainment industry as an actress or become a professional dancer, she will have her father’s support.
Shiloh’s mother, on the other hand, had already predicted her interest in entertainment over a decade ago. During an interview with “Vanity Fair,” the “Maleficent” star revealed that her daughter exhibited early signs of being a performer – she was goofy, playful, and verbal. Angelina also had the same traits as a child.

Like her ex-husband, Angelina is a supportive parent and believes Shiloh can make her own choices in life. She would never try to force something upon her children, especially to be someone they are not. According to the actress, her daughter’s freedom of expression is an essential part of her growth.
Brad Does Everything to See Kids amid Drama with Angelina
While Brad and Angelina agree on some aspects of their parenthood, they have not always seen eye to eye when it comes to other matters, including those that include their children and joint assets.
Angelina and Brad were once considered one of the most famous couples in Hollywood. They had several fans who were over the moon when they tied the knot and more so when they started to have children.
However, their marriage ended in divorce after a few years, a decision Angelina called a human rights issue . The aftermath of their separation dragged on for years and put a dent in Brad’s relationship with his children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox.

The former couple had a publicized custody battle that included back and forth accusations, including Angelina claiming that Brad was not paying enough for child support and had abused his children in previous years. After the court ruled in Angelina’s favor, Brad’s relationship with the kids began to wither.
While she did not disclose the country she wants to live in, Angelina owns a property in Cambodia and has an interest in exploring Africa. For now, she and the kids can only travel to such places for leisure.
For some time, Brad could only see his children in the presence of a court-approved psychologist. In 2018, as his relationship with the kids deteriorated, Pitt was granted more unsupervised visitations with them. He later fought for a fair split until he was granted joint custody by a judge.
However, the dispute did not end there. Brad’s legal team alleged that Angelina’s camp tried to get the court-approved child psychologist sanctioned after the medical professional reportedly favored Brad to have joint custody.

As the ex-couple still have minors under their wing, they cannot make significant decisions without the consent of the other. In 2019, Angelina expressed her desire to live overseas but revealed she could not do so due to Brad’s hand in the matter. She said :
“I would love to live abroad and will do as soon as my children are 18. Right now, I’m having to base where their father chooses to live.”
While she did not disclose the country she wants to live in, Angelina owns a property in Cambodia and has an interest in exploring Africa. For now, she and the kids can only travel to such places for leisure.
She and her kids continue to live in the United States, and as time passes, Brad hopes to see his children more often. According to a source, he pulls strings to see his kids regardless of the geographical location. “He flew to Italy for the twins’ birthday, and that meant a lot to them,” the source added .

He and Maddox reportedly had a falling out after an alleged altercation took place in 2016 as the family was flying to Los Angeles. Brad’s son later testified against his dad during the custody battle.
Meanwhile, Angelina is not satisfied with joint custody and allegedly “won’t rest until the kids are legally adults, so Brad will never have shared custody.”
A friend of the “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” actor believes that Angelina constantly attacks her ex-husband in the big and small ways she can, including her decision to sell her share of their vineyard to a person Brad did not like.
In 2022, Brad claimed that Angelina’s intentional sale of the Chateau Miraval to a Russian businessman was an agenda to hit him. He claimed that the former husband and wife struck a deal to never sell their shares without the other party’s agreement, especially since the vineyard means a lot to Brad.

Brad Reportedly Has a Broken Relationship with His Older Kids
Brad undoubtedly treasures every moment spent with his kids and tries to be the best parent he can be despite the challenging relationship he has with Angelina.
Brad allegedly lunged at Maddox right before Angelina stepped in to protect him. Brad was reportedly drunk at that time, but the damage had already been done.
In 2022, an insider told US Weekly about Brad’s tarnished relationship with his older sons, Maddox and Pax. He and Maddox reportedly had a falling out after an alleged altercation took place in 2016 as the family was flying to Los Angeles. Brad’s son later testified against his dad during the custody battle.
Maddox is Angelina’s first adopted child, whom she had during her relationship with Billy Bob Thorton in 2002. Then seven months old, Maddox met his new family, who has since known Angelina as his mother.

After Angelina and Thorton’s relationship ended, Brad stepped in as a father and adopted Maddox. However, Maddox has remained protective of his mother. At 15 years old, Maddox Jolie-Pitt verbally defended Angelina during an argument between his parents.
Brad allegedly lunged at Maddox right before Angelina stepped in to protect him. Brad was reportedly drunk at that time, but the damage had already been done. It was also an incident that influenced Angelina’s choice to divorce him and take sole custody of the kids.
A

While Brad doesn’t have a great relationship with his two sons, he is on good terms with some of his other children. According to a source:
“Brad has dinner with his younger kids when they are all in L.A. Since the kids are older now, they have their own life and friends. Brad still has a pretty good relationship with them.”

In 2022, Brand had nothing but kind words to say about his daughter Zahara as she chose to be educated at Spelman College. “She’s so smart,” he told Vanity Fair, adding that he is proud of his daughter’s success.
Brad and Angelina’s youngest children are twins Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt. The siblings, born a minute apart, are teenagers navigating life with their parent’s guidance.
Like her other children, Angelina went out of her way to protect her twins’ privacy. However, Knox already has an on-screen credit after voicing KuKu in the animated movie “Kungfu Panda 3.” Similarly, Vivienne starred as the younger version of Aurora in Angelina’s film, “Maleficent.”
