Is it just Pax who hasn't abandoned father Pitt?... Five out of six children are 'stopping the loss-selling' of their dad's name [Star Issue]

Children of Hollywood star couple Angelina Jolie (51) and Brad Pitt (62) have been sequentially removing their father's surname "Pitt" from their names. Now, out of six siblings, five are effectively distancing themselves from their father in some form or another.

The first to take action was daughter Shiloh (20). Shiloh filed a name change application on her 18th birthday in May 2024 and received court approval in August of the same year, officially becoming "Shiloh Jolie." She reportedly hired her own lawyer and covered all expenses herself, drawing widespread attention.

Following suit, Zahara (21) submitted a name change application to the Los Angeles High Court on April 28 this year. Zahara had already introduced herself as "Zahara Marley Jolie" at a Spelman University social club event in 2023.

Eldest son Maddox (25) also applied for a name change last May, and his request was recently approved by the court without any special objections, officially making him "Maddox Chollion Jolie." It is reported that Maddox attended the hearing via video conference.

Among the twins, Vivian (18), filed a name change application shortly after turning 18 in July. The requested name is "Vivian Marceline Jolie." Informally, she had already been operating without "Pitt," having been listed as "Vivian Jolie" in the program book for the Broadway play "The Outsiders" in 2024.

Vivian's twin brother Knox (18) has not yet filed a legal name change application, but his high school graduation certificate from July lists him as "Knox Jolie." Legally, however, he remains "Knox Jolie-Pitt."

As a result, among the six siblings, only second son Pax (22) has not distanced himself from Pitt in any way. Pax has never publicly stated his position regarding the surname issue and continues to legally and officially use the surname "Jolie-Pitt."

The reason listed on all name change applications is uniformly "personal reasons," with no specific background disclosed.

Jolie and Pitt met while filming the 2005 movie "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and started a family together. However, their relationship ended in 2016, and after over eight years of legal battles, their divorce was finalized at the end of 2024.

During this process, Jolie alleged that Pitt had subjected her and their children to physical and verbal abuse. Following these claims, the FBI and the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) launched investigations. The FBI concluded its investigation about two months later, and the Prosecution Service also decided not to file charges. Pitt's side has consistently denied all allegations in full.
