Ange's little tomboy Shiloh longs to be one of the boys

Ange’s little tomboy longs to be ‘one of the brothers’… and Mum’s happy to help.

Sporting a super-short new haircut and a blokey black outfit, Angelina Jolie’s five-year-old daughter Shiloh looked like one of the boys when she joined brothers Pax, 8, and Knox, 3, on a trip to the Studio City Farmers’ Market in LA last week. (See the pictures in this week’s Woman’s Day on sale now.)

From her masculine new look, it’s clear the tomboy tendencies Ange and her partner Brad Pitt had both written off as “just a phase” are in no danger of disappearing and are, in fact, only becoming more extreme.

Following reports that Shiloh now insists on being called “Shax” – so her name ends in an “X”, like her brothers’ – a family insider tells Woman’s Day the little girl has taken her boyish behaviour to a whole new level by insisting on only using men’s bathrooms! “The first time Ange caught Shiloh using the men’s room at an airport, she was horrified and embarrassed,” our source reports. “A bodyguard had to go in and retrieve her.

“But now Ange has accepted it, allowing Shiloh to wash and bathe in her brothers’ bathroom instead of her own. And when the family is out in public, it’s par for the course that she be allowed to use the men’s restroom.” Shiloh has long been obsessed with toy weapons, fake tattoos and pirates, and our insider says she now dresses almost exclusively in her brothers’ hand-me-downs and begs to sleep in their rooms.
