Vivienne Jolie-Pitt Seeks Jolie Surname Change
Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s 18-year-old daughter, has filed to legally drop Pitt from her surname, aiming to become Vivienne Marcheline Jolie with a November 2 hearing set. She joins siblings Shiloh, Zahara and Maddox in pursuing surname changes as their family moves toward fully distancing from Pitt; Shiloh’s change was granted in 2024, while Zahara and Maddox have hearings pending. Professionally, Vivienne has already used Jolie on credits, and several siblings increasingly use Jolie in public and work, with Pax and Knox still using Pitt. Jolie and Pitt’s family has drawn renewed attention as the children become adults, with commentators noting that custody matters have largely ended now that the youngest are 18 and Jolie emphasizing healing over ongoing conflict. The ongoing name changes reflect a complex dynamic in the Jolie-Pitt family, highlighting individual autonomy and continued media interest in the couple’s fractured relationship. Public and legal narratives emphasize the children’s restraint in speaking publicly while pursuing personal identity changes.
