Knox Jolie-Pitt reportedly considers legally dropping Brad Pitt's surname

Knox Jolie-Pitt, the 18-year-old son of actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, is reportedly considering legally removing his father's surname. While an official court request has not yet been filed, sources indicate that this move is viewed as inevitable, as Knox is expected to follow the path of his four siblings who have already stopped using the "Pitt" name. Reports suggest this ongoing estrangement has been a painful experience for the actor.

Despite the lack of a formal legal filing, Knox has reportedly already begun using the name "Knox Jolie" in official settings, including on his graduation documents from the Fusion Academy in Los Angeles. The former couple share six children: Maddox (25), Pax (22), Zahara (21), Shiloh (20), and twins Knox and Vivienne (18). There is currently no established timeline for when or if a formal legal name change will occur, leaving the situation in a state of pending uncertainty.
