Brad Pitt's Daughter Vivienne Files to Legally Drop 'Pitt' From Last Name

Key Points:

• Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, has filed a petition to legally drop "Pitt" from her last name, seeking to be known as Vivienne Marcheline Jolie for personal reasons.
• Vivienne has already used the surname Jolie professionally, including receiving a credit as "Vivienne Jolie" in the Broadway production of "The Outsiders," which she co-produced with her mother.
• Several of Vivienne's siblings, including Shiloh, Zahara, and Maddox, have also sought to remove "Pitt" from their names, indicating a trend among the children to distance themselves from their father’s surname.
• Sources close to Brad Pitt suggest that Angelina Jolie is responsible for the rift between Brad and the children, describing Vivienne’s name change petition as part of an ongoing effort to alienate the children from their father.
• Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie finalized their divorce in late 2024 but continue to be involved in legal disputes, including a battle over their jointly owned French winery, Château Miraval.
