Shiloh Jolie wants to carve her own path. She believes the label of being a “nepo baby” is somewhat hindering her.
Shiloh Jolie, 18, seemed to have an easy start in life. As the daughter of Angelina Jolie, 49, and Brad Pitt, 60, the professional world is wide open to her. As a so-called “nepo baby,” she lives in luxury, and her last name opens doors that are closed to many others. However, the 18-year-old struggles with her status and wants to forge her own way.
Shiloh Jolie Struggles with Her Nepo Baby Status
Whether it’s designer fashion or a luxury villa, Shiloh Jolie could have it all when it comes to status symbols. She earned her first money as a baby during a photoshoot with her parents, albeit without her voluntary consent. Her life hasn’t always been perfect; her parents’ separation cast a shadow over her childhood as a daughter of two Hollywood stars. However, as the child of two Oscar winners, her career start should be easier. But “Shiloh never wanted any of it,” a source recently told “Life & Style.” Not the red carpet appearances in expensive dresses, not the lavish travels around the globe, none of it.
She Wants to Go Her Own Way
Instead of relying on her parents’ name and success, Shiloh wants to prove herself. She distanced herself on her 18th birthday in May by officially dropping the Pitt surname. From now on, she goes by Jolie. Professionally, she has her own ideas. Despite having access to almost any acting audition, she is focusing on her passion for dancing and already has clear plans for her future.
After graduation, she plans to live in New York City. She wants to follow her mother’s example, who led a more modest life before her big break. A source reveals, “Shiloh has no idea what it’s really like to struggle, but she doesn’t think it’s cool to be a rich nepo baby.” She plans to study dance in New York and live in a simple apartment with a group of young people her age.
Shiloh is Disgusted by People Who Spend Money on Designer Bags While Others Go Hungry
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie – unusually in agreement – ensured their children experienced real life and not just classroom learning, as a source told “People.” This approach has evidently paid off. Shiloh is aware of her privileged situation, thanks to her dancer friends who are often broke. The insider reports on her generosity towards her friends: “She is extremely generous and likes to pick up the tab when the group goes out to eat. She doesn’t do it to show off; she does it because she has the money and many of her friends are broke.”
When it comes to herself, Shiloh is less extravagant. Instead of shopping in designer stores, she prefers thrift shops and “couldn’t be less materialistic.”
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Have Different Priorities in Parenting
According to “People,” the ex-couple Brangelina disagreed on their parenting approaches. While they both valued their children’s education, their priorities diverged in other areas. Brad Pitt valued rules and structure, while Angelina Jolie wanted the children to be independent and responsible for their own schedules from a young age. These differences often led to conflicts during their marriage.
