Angelina JolieandBrad Pittmay be two of the most famous actors in the world, but toShiloh Nouvel Jolie, they’re just mom and dad.

Jolie was initiallynervous about motherhood, writing inTIMEthat she “never thought” she could be a mom due to her unstable youth. “I remember the decision to become a parent. It wasn’t hard to love. It wasn’t hard to dedicate myself to someone and something greater than my life,” she wrote. “What was hard was knowing that from now on I needed to be the one to make sure everything was okay.”

TheEternalsstar went on to share that it was “impossible” to reach perfection as a parent. “Your children don’t want you perfect. They just want you honest,” she wrote. “The more room they have to be great where you are weak, the stronger they may become. In the end, it’s the team you build. And in a way, they are raising you up too. You grow together.”

That growth started early with Shiloh, whom Jolie described as a “little honey” when she was young. “Shi’s sofull of light and love… and very, very funny,” Jolie told MSN in 2007. “I think I’m recognizing some of myself in that one — she’s going to be a little bit of trouble!"

Pitt has also loved seeing Shiloh’s personality grow over the years. “I love [my kids] to find their own way, find things they’re interested in, find their own voice, and flourish,” he toldEntertainment Tonightin 2022.

However, theTroyactor was reportedly “upset” when Shiloh decided to legally change her last name from Jolie-Pitt to Jolie once she turned 18.

From her love of dance and film to international humanitarian trips, here’s everything to know about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s daughter Shiloh Jolie.

“I asked Shiloh aboutbeing Aurora, and she laughed in my face,” Jolie toldElle. “She said she’d be a horned creature.” Her younger sister, Vivienne, took the role instead. Shiloh went on to voice Shuai Shuai inKung Fu Panda 3(2016).

So how do her parents feel about a potential acting career? “Brad and I made the decision that we wouldn’t keep them from sets and the fun of making movies, but we wouldn’t [glorify it either],” Jolie told the outlet. “But I would really prefer they do something else.”

Her mom is supportive of her fashion choices

Shiloh hasemulated her mother’s style over the years. In 2021, she wore a printed black-and-white Dior dress to theEternalspremiere in London — a look Jolie had previously worn two years earlier.

Jolie has been nothing but supportive of her daughter’s fashion choices. “I think she is fascinating, the choices she is making,” Jolie toldReutersin 2010.

“I would never be the kind of parent to force somebody to be something they are not. I think that is just bad parenting,” she said. “Children should be allowed to express themselves in whatever way they wish without anybody judging them because it is an important part of their growth.”

The proud mom added: “Society always has something to learn when it comes to the way we judge each other, label each other. We have far to go.”

In August 2022, Pitt toldEntertainment Tonightthat Shiloh’s dancing often brings him to tears.

“It’s very beautiful,” he said. “I don’t know where she got it from. I’m Mr. Two-Left-Feet here.”

She often supports her mom on the red carpet
