Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, daughter of Hollywood actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, is taking legal steps to remove 'Pitt' from her surname.
U.S. entertainment outlet Page Six reported that Vivienne recently submitted a petition to the Los Angeles High Court in the United States requesting to change her legal name from the current 'Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt' to 'Vivienne Marcheline Jolie'.
According to court documents, 18-year-old Vivienne stated her reason for the name change as "personal circumstances."
Vivienne's middle name 'Marcheline' was taken from Angelina Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand. Marcheline Bertrand passed away in 2007 after battling ovarian and breast cancer.
A source previously told Page Six, "If Brad is not close to the children, it is due to past wounds." The source added, "The children are now adults with the right to make their own decisions, which must be respected. If they choose to distance themselves from him, it stems from past pain and trauma."
Vivienne's name change application highlights that conflicts within the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie family continue. Previously, other children were also reported not using the 'Pitt' surname in official appearances or activities, drawing attention.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie began dating in 2005 and married in 2014. They have six children: Maddox (24), Pax (22), Zahara (21), Shiloh (20), and twins Vivienne and Knox.
However, Angelina Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, and the two continued legal disputes over custody and asset division. After approximately eight years of litigation, they finalized their divorce proceedings in December 2024.
Meanwhile, despite Brad Pitt obtaining joint custody, it is reported that five children (Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne) have decided to drop his surname.
