Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, the 18-year-old daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, has filed a petition with the Superior Court of Los Angeles to legally remove 'Pitt' from her surname, changing it to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie. She cited personal reasons for the change, though specific details were not provided. This follows similar actions by other children of the couple, including her sister Shiloh, who successfully removed 'Pitt' from her name in 2024, and her brother Maddox, who reportedly filed a similar request in 2026. Other siblings, such as Zahara and Knox, have also taken steps to distance themselves from the 'Pitt' surname professionally or legally. The move comes after an eight-year legal battle between Pitt and Jolie, which concluded with their divorce being finalized in December 2024. While the children’s decisions are described as being influenced by their family experiences, some sources suggest the situation may reflect parental alienation, though neither parent has publicly commented.
