Four Pitt Kids Dump Dad's Last Name
2 Nov
Summary
- Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 18, legally changed her name.
- She joins Shiloh, Maddox, and Zahara in dropping Pitt.
- Pax and Knox are the only children not to change their names.
Brad Pitt's youngest daughter, 18-year-old Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt, has officially changed her legal name to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie. This significant alteration follows Vivienne's petition filed in July of this year, shortly after her 18th birthday. She had already begun using the name Vivienne Jolie professionally in 2024 while assisting her mother, Angelina Jolie, with the Broadway production of 'The Outsiders'.
Vivienne's decision to drop her father's surname aligns with the actions of three of her siblings: Shiloh, Maddox, and Zahara. Shiloh legally removed Pitt from her surname on her 18th birthday in 2024, and Maddox and Zahara completed their own name changes earlier this year. Consequently, Pax and Vivienne's twin brother, Knox, are the only two of the six children who have not yet publicly undertaken this legal modification.
These surname changes occur against the backdrop of the ongoing strained relationship between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who finalized their divorce in December 2024. Reports from September indicated minimal communication between Pitt and his children, underscoring the deep familial divisions. The fact that four out of six children have now legally dropped their father's surname represents a striking development in their personal lives.
