Vivienne Jolie-Pitt Drops Dad's Name
8 Nov
Summary
- Vivienne Jolie-Pitt legally changed her surname to Jolie.
- The 18-year-old's request was approved by a Los Angeles judge.
- She is the fourth of six children to change her surname.
Vivienne Jolie, the 18-year-old daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, has legally changed her surname to Jolie. A Los Angeles judge approved her petition on November 2, completing a process initiated in July. This makes Vivienne the fourth of the couple's six children to formally alter her surname, removing "Pitt."
Her petition cited "personal" reasons for the change. Vivienne had already been professionally credited as Vivienne Jolie, notably as a producer's assistant for the Broadway musical "The Outsiders." Her twin brother, Knox, reportedly used "Knox Jolie" on his high school diploma.
This surname change follows similar legal actions by other siblings. Shiloh's name change to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie was approved on August 19, 2024. Maddox became Maddox Chivan Jolie on September 14, 2026, and Zahara's change to Zahara Marley Jolie was approved on September 28. No public report exists for a similar legal change for Pax.
