Brad Pitt’s daughter Vivienne has legally removed her father’s surname, becoming the fourth of his and Angelina Jolie’s six children to do so.
A Los Angeles judge approved the 18-year-old’s petition on Monday, changing her legal name from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie. No objections were filed against the request.
Vivienne submitted the paperwork in July, shortly after her 18th birthday, citing personal reasons for wanting to remove “Pitt” from her name.
She had already been using Jolie professionally. Vivienne was credited as “Vivienne Jolie” in the Playbill for the Broadway production of The Outsiders, on which she worked alongside her mother.
Her older sister Shiloh legally changed her name in 2024, while Maddox and Zahara received court approval for their own name changes earlier this year.
Vivienne’s twin brother, Knox, has also left “Pitt” off his high school diploma, although he has not legally changed his name.
Sources close to Brad Pitt have alleged that Angelina Jolie is responsible for the growing rift between the actor and his children, describing the name changes as part of an effort to alienate them from their father. That claim is unproven in the material available.
Pitt and Jolie finalised their divorce in December 2024, but remain involved in a separate legal dispute over their French winery, Château Miraval.
