Vivienne Seeks Legal Name Change
Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, the 18-year-old daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, has filed a petition requesting to legally remove “Pitt” from her last name.
According to court documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Vivienne is seeking to change her legal name to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie. The filing lists the reason for the request as “personal.” A court hearing has been scheduled for November 2.
Not the First of the Siblings
Vivienne’s filing follows similar requests from some of her siblings. Shiloh previously obtained court approval to legally change her name, while Zahara and Maddox have also filed petitions seeking to remove “Pitt” from their surnames. Those requests remain pending.
The move also follows a public sign that Vivienne had already begun using the Jolie surname professionally. In 2024, she was credited as “Vivienne Jolie” in the Playbill for the Broadway production of The Outsiders, which she helped produce alongside her mother.
Family Changes After a High-Profile Split
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie share six children and finalized their divorce in 2024, ending years of legal proceedings that followed their separation in 2016.
Although their marriage has officially ended, the former couple continues to face legal disputes, including an ongoing case involving Château Miraval, the French winery they once co-owned.
Angelina Jolie on Raising Her Children
Over the years, Angelina Jolie has spoken about encouraging each of her children to develop their own identities.
In a previous interview, she said she enjoys watching her children grow into unique individuals and believes parents should support them as they discover who they are.
Attention Remains on the Family
Given the family’s high public profile, Vivienne’s legal filing has attracted widespread attention. However, neither she nor her parents have publicly commented on the petition, and the request will ultimately be considered by the court during the scheduled hearing.
