Vivienne Jolie-Pitt officially drops father's surname

Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, the youngest daughter of actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has officially dropped her father's surname. According to legal documentation and recent reporting, the 18-year-old filed a petition at the Los Angeles County Superior Court to change her legal name from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie. This move signifies a further expansion of the familial estrangement between Brad Pitt and several of his children, following similar actions by her older siblings, Zahara and Maddox, who have also distanced themselves from their father.

The transition began to emerge publicly in May 2024, when Vivienne was credited as "Vivienne Jolie" while working as a producer alongside her mother on the Broadway production "The Outsiders." While a court hearing had been scheduled for November 2, recent reports indicate the transition has now been finalized by the court, with the name change recognized in all official documentation. Neither Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, nor their representatives have issued public statements regarding the matter. Sources close to the actor have previously indicated that he experiences the ongoing estrangement from his children with deep personal difficulty.
