Article: Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, the daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, filed a petition in a Los Angeles court after her 18th birthday on July 12th to change her name. She wants to drop half of her double surname, citing “personal reasons,” People reports. The filing notes that the petition has already been filed and is related to Vivienne’s coming of age.
This isn’t the first time the couple’s daughter has changed her name: Vivienne is the fourth child to attempt to drop the Pitt surname. In April, their daughter Zahara (21) filed a similar petition, their older brother Maddox (24) previously took the same step, and their son/daughter Shiloh began using only the Jolie surname in 2024. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have six children, and media reports indicate that the relationship between the children and their father has become increasingly strained in recent years.
Observers and tabloids interpret these changes as part of a broader family dynamic following the celebrity couple’s divorce; details of Vivienne’s motives remain private, and the publication does not provide official comments from her parents on the matter.
