Summary
- Vivienne Jolie-Pitt filed to legally change her name.
- Her siblings have also begun the process of name changes.
- Angelina Jolie reflects on self-confidence gained from daughters.
Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, one of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's six children, has initiated legal proceedings to drop "Pitt" from her surname. The 18-year-old filed a petition on July 12, her birthday, citing "personal" reasons, with a court hearing scheduled for November 2. This move mirrors her siblings' efforts, with Shiloh having previously legally changed her name.
Zahara and Maddox are also in the process of altering their names, with court dates set for September 28 and September 14, respectively. Knox, another son, used "Knox Jolie" on his high school diploma in June. Brad Pitt has not been publicly seen with any of his children since 2016.
Angelina Jolie recently spoke about personal growth, attributing newfound self-confidence to her daughters. She expressed how observing Zahara, Shiloh, and Vivienne navigate the world as young women has reminded her of qualities she herself may have lost, prompting a "different room" for her identity beyond motherhood.
Following her twins' 18th birthday, Jolie had indicated plans to travel extensively, stating she would be free to leave Los Angeles once her custody agreement constraints were lifted. She expressed a desire to spend more time in places like Cambodia and visit family globally.
