Vivienne Jolie seeks legal removal of Pitt surname

Vivienne Marcheline Jolie‑Pitt, the 18‑year‑old youngest child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, filed a petition in the Los Angeles County Superior Court to change her legal name to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie, removing the "Pitt" surname. The filing cites personal reasons and was submitted shortly after she turned 18, allowing her to act independently under California law. A hearing on the request is scheduled for early November.

Her request follows a series of similar moves by her siblings: Shiloh already received court approval to drop "Pitt," while Zahara and Maddox have pending name‑change petitions. The family has been publicly distanced since the 2016 divorce, with Brad Pitt reportedly having no recent public contact with his children. The name‑change filings highlight the ongoing personal and legal separation within the former couple’s family.
