Another daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie files petition to drop ‘Pitt’ from last name

by · The Washington Times

Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, the 18-year-old daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, has filed a court petition to legally drop “Pitt” from her name. 

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, she is seeking to change her name from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie, with the reason listed as “personal.” 

Ms. Jolie-Pitt was already using the surname Jolie professionally, having received a “Vivienne Jolie” credit in the Playbill for the Broadway production of “The Outsiders,” which she helped produce with her mother. 

Several of her siblings took similar steps, with the couple’s daughter Shiloh successfully dropping “Pitt” from her name in 2024, and Zahara and Maddox also filing petitions to become Zahara Marley Jolie and Maddox Chivan Jolie. 

Sources close to Mr. Pitt told TMZ that they believe Ms. Jolie caused a rift between him and the children. 

Mr. Pitt and Ms. Jolie finalized their divorce in late 2024 and remain in a legal dispute over Chateau Miraval, the winery they purchased together.
