Shiloh Nouvel

After the event, pictures of Shiloh were splashed across People and Hello! magazine, in deals which earned Ange over £5.3 million.

Reports have suggested that Shiloh prefers to be referred to as a boy.

Earlier this year, a report from Radar Online suggested that Shiloh, who was born a girl, had asked her parents to be identified as male.

The family decided to name their child after two Vietnamese words, which translate as “peaceful sky”.

Even though 12-year-old Pax was adopted when he was just three-years-old, reports suggest that he has struggled to cope with the life of fame, regularly avoiding the paparazzi.
